Wisdom tooth treatment focuses on managing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth, which are the last molars that emerge at the back of the mouth. These teeth can sometimes grow improperly, causing pain, swelling, infection, or crowding of other teeth.
1️⃣ Observation & Monitoring – If the wisdom tooth is growing correctly, regular monitoring is enough.
2️⃣ Medication & Pain Management – Temporary relief with painkillers and antibiotics for minor discomfort.
3️⃣ Wisdom Tooth Extraction – Surgical or simple removal if the tooth is impacted, decayed, or causing pain.
4️⃣ Surgical Removal of Impacted Tooth – When the tooth is trapped under the gum or growing at an angle.
5️⃣ Pain Management – Temporary relief with painkillers and antibiotics for minor discomfort.
✔ Prevents pain and swelling caused by impacted teeth
✔ Reduces risk of infections and gum disease
