Complications Associated With Impacted Wisdom Teeth

By Dr. Nishi Tandon I Dentist

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause several problems in the mouth:

Damage to adjacent teeth. If the wisdom tooth pushes against the second molar, it may damage the second molar and increase the risk of infection in that area. This pressure can also create problems like crowding of the other teeth and subsequent infection in the healthy teeth as well.

Cysts. The wisdom tooth develops in a sac within the jawbone. This sac can get filled with fluid, forming a cyst that can damage the jawbone, teeth ,nerves and surrounding structures. Sometimes, a tumour usually non cancerous (benign) — develops. This complication may require removal of tissue and bone.

Decay. Partially impacted wisdom teeth appear to be at higher risk of tooth decay (caries) than other teeth. This probably occurs because wisdom teeth are inaccessible and difficult to clean so food and bacteria get easily trapped between the gums and a partially erupted tooth.

Gum disease. Due to difficulty in cleaning the partially impacted tooth, the risk of developing a painful, inflammatory gum condition called Pericoronitis develops in that area.

It is therefore advisable to go to your dentist as soon as one encounters wisdom tooth eruption symptoms.

I was in Delhi for a short while, and whilst i was there, i had developed a situation of bleeding gums and pain in my upper jaw. On visiting Oral H, i was looked after extremely professionally yet giving a personal touch by Dr. Nishi Tandon and her team of experienced dentists. The problem was well understood and the solution was fast and pain free. I make it a point to visit them almost every visit to the capital. I highly recommend them and wish them all the very best.

During a business trip to India, I required emergency treatment on a tooth problem. Oral H attended to my emergency needs immediately, professionally and resolved the first issue.

Using the existing x-rays and information from my previous visit, the OralH team prepared a treatment program for me which included; four root canal treatments and two dental bridges.

The quotation for my dental work was some 80% cheaper than the cost of completing the same work in my home country. Effectively, if I had not been travelling on business, I could have flown and been accommodated in New Delhi, completed the treatment and still made a significant saving versus the cost of having this done at home.

At all times I felt my well-being and the successful completion of the plan was foremost in Dr Nishi's mind. The team were available to me on a 24-hour basis, often messaging in the evening to check on my condition – which was much appreciated.

I am grateful for the skill and care given to me by the Oral H team and would happily recommend them to future patients as a highly professional, skilled, dedicated group of dental specialists.

During my years (2011-2014) as Principal of an international school in Gurgaon there were times when I needed to visit a dentist, for a check-up or for other issues. When I first needed a dentist I walked into Dr Tandon's dental reception and found it both well-equipped with modern dental supplies and manned by competent and courteous staff.
Rashmi Soni

OralH has been my dentist since 2012. From the outset, my experience has always been positive. The Family Dr. Nishi Tandon and her team are caring, professional and friendly. The treatment room and waiting room are bright and welcoming and a sincere warm welcome always awaits you when you turn up for treatment. I like the fact that they explain everything prior to treatment, and the doctors are always willing to answer any questions.
Rajat Mahajan

I became a patient of Dr.Nishi at the recommendation of a Family friend. At the time, I was experiencing pain in several areas that was not addressed in my previous dental care. I knew on my first visit I made the right choice. Dr.Nishi sat with me and explained in detail the areas that needed immediate attention.
