EXTRACTION OF THIRD MOLARS WITH
Maxilofacial
Especialist
The extraction of third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, is a procedure performed by a maxillofacial specialist when these teeth do not have enough space to erupt properly or are causing problems.
This type of intervention
is necessary in several cases:
Lack of Space
When there is insufficient space in the jaw for third molars to erupt properly, they can become impacted (trapped) inside the bone or beneath the gums.
Incorrect Eruption
If third molars are erupting incorrectly, it can cause pain, inflammation, and an increased risk of infection.
Damage to Other Teeth
Sometimes, third molars can damage adjacent teeth by pushing against them or eroding their surface.
Hygiene Problems
Due to their location at the back of the mouth, third molars can be difficult to clean properly, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Benefits
for the Patient:
Pain Relief
Extraction can alleviate pain associated with impacted or malerupted third molars.
Prevention of Future Problems
Removing problematic third molars can prevent future dental and oral health complications.
Improved Oral Health
Promotes better oral hygiene and prevents the spread of infections to other parts of the mouth.
Preservation of Dental Health
Contributes to maintaining optimal oral health, preserving the alignment of teeth, and reducing the risk of periodontal diseases.
IN SUMMARY
The extraction of third molars by a maxillofacial specialist is a necessary procedure in specific cases to improve oral health and prevent future dental problems, providing patients with pain relief and a better quality of oral life.
