8TH TEETH

Do I need to have the 8th tooth extracted?

Opinions of dental surgeons are divided: most of them insist on their extraction, while others don’t even pay attention to them. But they should! More and more often, wisdom teeth only do harm. We hardly ever eat hard food, our jaws are evolutionarily getting smaller and therefore the first and most common reason for extraction is lack of space. The 8th teeth simply do not fit in our jaws.

The result is incomplete and irregular eruption, inflammation, pain, swelling, injured cheeks (bitten), headaches, crunching and problems with the temporomandibular joint.

The second and equally common cause is orthodontic shows. If you are planning treatment with braces, it is likely that a qualified doctor will recommend the removal of 8 teeth so that there is enough space to move the teeth in the jaw and avoid a recurrence in the future.

Wisdom tooth extraction can be both simple and complex (atypical retained tooth extraction). The latter means that your tooth is uncut and has an irregular position in the jaw. For this, our surgeons use a special atraumatic extraction technique, without traumatizing the bone. It is best to work with teeth that are still budding (15-17 years old). This extraction has several advantages: it is predictable, fast and less traumatic. However, there is no age limit. We work even with complicated cases, so if all dentists say that it is “a very complicated tooth” – come to us!

Unique offer in our clinic – simultaneous extraction of all 4 teeth in one visit in a medical sleep.
