Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While some erupt normally and don’t cause any issues, most often they are impacted—meaning there’s not enough space for them to grow properly. This can lead to pain, swelling, and damage to nearby teeth.
At Dr. Priyanka Dental Care, KPHB, we offer expert diagnosis and safe removal of wisdom teeth with advanced surgical techniques and a gentle approach.
🚨 Common Problems Caused by Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Pain in Adjacent Teeth
Impacted or angulated wisdom teeth can push against nearby molars, causing pain and discomfort.Food Lodgement & Gum Infections
The pocket between the second molar and the wisdom tooth traps food particles—leading to bad breath, gum infections, and inflammation.Cavities in Wisdom & Adjacent Teeth
Poor accessibility for brushing causes plaque buildup, leading to tooth decay in both the wisdom tooth and nearby molars.Cyst Formation
Impacted wisdom teeth may be associated with cysts, which weaken the jaw and may damage adjacent teeth.Difficulty in Opening the Mouth
Inflammation around the wisdom tooth can restrict jaw movement.Bad Breath & Unpleasant Taste
Due to pus formation from repeated infections.
