What Are Impacted Teeth?
Impacted teeth occur when a tooth is unable to fully emerge from the gum line due to obstruction or insufficient space in the jaw. While it's most common in wisdom teeth, it can affect other teeth as well. Impacted teeth can lead to pain, infection, and alignment issues, making them a common reason for dental intervention. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we provide high-quality care to address impacted teeth, offering solutions tailored to your needs. To learn more about impacted tooth removal, contact one of our offices in Hoover, Jasper, or Clanton, AL. Our team is committed to helping you restore your oral health and comfort.
How Are Impacted Teeth Treated?
Impacted teeth are typically treated through surgical extraction, which an oral surgeon performs to remove the tooth and alleviate any related issues such as pain, infection, or misalignment. Depending on the severity and location of the impacted tooth, the procedure may involve making a small incision in the gum to access the tooth, and in some cases, the tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal. After extraction, the area may be sutured to ensure proper healing. In certain situations, additional treatments like bone grafting or orthodontics may be recommended to ensure optimal oral health and function.
What Are the Benefits of Impacted Tooth Removal?
Removing impacted teeth offers several benefits, including:
- Alleviates pain and discomfort caused by impacted teeth
- Prevents infection and damage to surrounding teeth
- Improves oral hygiene by reducing overcrowding
- Prevents potential cysts or tumors from developing
- Restores alignment and function of the teeth
- Reduces the risk of gum disease or tooth decay
