Wisdom Teeth Removal
Alleviate discomfort and restore your oral health with wisdom teeth removal in Nairobi
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. Often, the jaw lacks sufficient space to accommodate these teeth properly. As a result, wisdom teeth can become impacted or trapped beneath the gum tissue or surrounding teeth, leading to various complications .
Wisdom teeth removal, or extraction or third molar disimpaction, is a common oral surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or more wisdom teeth from the mouth. This procedure is done to remove impacted third molars, or when there is insufficient space in the jaw for them to erupt properly. This helps in alleviating discomfort, preventing further complications, and maintain good oral health.
At Hopecrown Dental Centre, we understand the challenges posed by impacted or problematic wisdom teeth and the importance of timely intervention. Our oral surgeons in Nairobi employing advanced techniques and equipment, provide comfortable wisdom teeth extraction process, allowing you to enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile.
What Causes Impacted Third Molars
Impacted molars, also known as wisdom teeth, occur when these teeth fail to erupt properly and become trapped within the jawbone or gum tissue. Some common causes of impacted molars include:
Insufficient space: When there isn’t enough room for the molar to grow, it becomes trapped beneath the gum tissue.
Angle of eruption: A molar growing at an angle may become stuck against adjacent teeth or bone.
Overcrowded mouth: Too many teeth or large teeth leave no room for the molar.
Genetic predisposition: Genetic makeup increases the likelihood of impacted molars.
Tumors or cysts: Growths in the jaw push the molar out of position.
Inflammation or infection: Swollen gums or abscesses prevent proper eruption.
Jaw abnormalities: Jaw deformities or malocclusions lead to impacted molars.
Previous dental work: Orthodontic treatment or other procedures alter the mouth’s structure.
Who Needs Wisdom Teeth Removed
Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when the impacted molars potentially threaten oral health or are causing pain and discomfort. A good candidate for the procedure may include individuals who experience recurrent infections, gum disease, or tooth decay around the impacted tooth. Additionally, those with overcrowded mouths, damaged or decayed wisdom teeth, or those undergoing orthodontic treatment may also benefit from extraction. Our dentist in Nairobi will evaluate your specific case and recommend the most appropriate course of action based on your overall oral health and individual needs.
