Wisdom Teeth
The formation of wisdom teeth begins in childhood and they usually occupy their place in the mouth between the ages of 18 and 24. However, these teeth can sometimes cause problems. When these teeth, which do not come through even after several years, remain completely or partially embedded in the jawbone, they must be examined by a specialized dentist and removed if necessary. The common problem of impacted wisdom teeth in dentistry, if ignored, can lead to serious health problems
Wisdom teeth can be completely or partially embedded in the jaw. Because completely impacted wisdom teeth do not have direct contact with the oral cavity, they usually do not cause serious infectious problems. As long as they do not cause cavities on adjacent teeth, inflammation of the gums or cystic structures in the surrounding tissue, an extraction is not necessary. However, if one or more of these issues arise, they should be removed without delay.
Partially enclosed wisdom teeth, some of which remain in the jaw and some of which erupts, have a higher risk of inflammation and abscesses. In order not to endanger oral and mandibular health, these teeth must be treated in time. A delay in the removal of problematic wisdom teeth can also lead to heart and kidney disease.
The extraction of impacted teeth is fundamentally no different from that of other teeth. However, if surgery is required, it is performed by maxillofacial surgeons. Before the operation, it may be necessary to take certain medications recommended by the doctor.

Benefits of wisdom teeth removal
The treatment promotes the emergence and maintenance of a healthy and aesthetic dental position.
It prevents tooth loss.

When should a wisdom teeth extraction be performed?
Because wisdom teeth grow in the furthest corners of the jaw, they are difficult to maintain and cavities often appear. Treating cavities on these teeth is difficult, sometimes even impossible. Therefore, cavities are a valid reason for wisdom teeth removal.
If infections occur during the eruption of wisdom teeth, leading to swollen gums or bad breath, or if, in the case of partially impacted teeth, peri- coronitis with symptoms such as fever, facial swelling, bad breath, swelling and pain in the lymph nodes occurs, treatment is necessary.
