Wisdom teeth: problems and symptoms
Wisdom teeth (the eighth tooth, third molar) are rudimentary organs, meaning they have lost their function through evolution. They often cause orthodontic and occlusal problems in the oral cavity: they grow at the wrong angle and damage the roots of neighboring molars, and can also trigger nonspecific symptoms, such as migraines.
Impacted molars: causes, symptoms, and the need for treatment
An impacted molar is one that has stopped in the bone tissue and has not erupted through the gum into the oral cavity. Symptoms associated with an impacted third molar include temporomandibular joint dysfunction, asymmetry of the dental arches, or malocclusion. If the molar is painful, this means there is pressure from the dental arch on a nerve. This is one of the main indications for an urgent dental visit.
The specialists at Sapphire Dental Clinic understand that visiting the dentist is a source of anxiety for many people. Therefore, if you are scheduled for the extraction of two or four molars, you can take advantage of sedation. This modern and safe anesthesia ensures the procedure is performed with maximum comfort. Book an appointment, and our specialist will determine the appropriate treatment plan.
