Wisdom Tooth
Extraction

The wisdom teeth are vestigial, meaning they don’t offer any benefit and can cause problems with chewing or alignment.In most cases, there is no need for extraction. Suppose you have had four permanent adult molars since age 17-21. In that case, it may become necessary due to overlapping space not being used efficiently by both sets of these problematic structures.

When Should You Get a
Wisdom Tooth Removal?

If so, it’s time to consider extraction. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure that our dentists in Singapore perform regularly. Below, we’ll explain everything you need about wisdom tooth extraction:
what it is, who needs it, how it’s done, and more

Pain or Swelling

Ongoing pain, gum swelling, or tenderness around the wisdom tooth area.

Gum Inflammation

Red, swollen gums, bad taste, pus, or difficulty opening the mouth.

Impacted /Crowded Tooth

Wisdom tooth growing sideways/partially erupted, causing damage to nearby teeth or overcrowding.

Food or Debris Between Teeth

Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, so food can easily get stuck and cause problems.

Cyst Around Wisdom Tooth

A cyst may form around a wisdom tooth and can damage nearby teeth or bone.

Bad Breath

Bacteria trapped around a wisdom tooth can lead to bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth.

Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?

In the past, our ancestors ate tougher foods like nuts and raw plants, so wisdom teeth were useful. Today, we mostly eat softer, cooked foods, which means wisdom teeth are no longer necessary. Many people never have problems with their wisdom teeth. However, if a wisdom tooth is causing pain or discomfort, removal may be the best option to protect your oral health.
