What Is a Wisdom Tooth?
A wisdom tooth is the third molar,
which usually erupts last between the ages of 17 and 25.
However, there is often not enough space in the gums and jawbone, so wisdom teeth commonly grow in an abnormal direction or remain impacted under the gums.

Six Common Symptoms
Caused by Wisdom Teeth
-
1
Gum Swelling and Pain
The gums around the wisdom tooth may repeatedly swell and become inflamed, causing significant pain.
-
2
Food Impaction and Inflammation
Because wisdom teeth are often deep and difficult to clean, food easily gets trapped and bacteria multiply, frequently causing inflammation.
-
3
Tooth Decay and Damage
An angled wisdom tooth may push against the molar in front of it, causing decay or damaging the adjacent tooth root.
-
4
Bad Breath
Food debris and inflammation around the wisdom tooth can become a cause of severe bad breath.
-
5
Difficulty and Pain When Opening the Mouth
Inflammation around the wisdom tooth may affect the jaw joint and muscles, making it difficult to open the mouth and causing jaw stiffness.
-
6
Headache and General Discomfort
Persistent pain and tension caused by wisdom teeth may also lead to neck and shoulder pain or headaches.

Types of
Wisdom Teeth
-
Straight
Wisdom ToothThe tooth erupts upright in the correct position and properly functions as a molar.
-
Impacted
Wisdom ToothThe wisdom tooth is blocked within the gum and does not erupt into view.
-
Partially Impacted
Wisdom ToothOnly part of the tooth has erupted, while the rest remains partially buried in the gum.
-
Horizontal
Wisdom ToothThe tooth grows horizontally or at an angle and may press against the adjacent molar.
Wisdom teeth can appear in several different forms, which can make treatment more difficult.
As modern jaw structures become smaller, there is often insufficient space for wisdom teeth to erupt, or they may erupt abnormally from the start.
These wisdom teeth may damage adjacent teeth, trap food, and cause bad breath. If they are close to the inferior alveolar nerve, extraction may become a high-difficulty procedure.

Wisdom Tooth Process
-
Consultation and Diagnosis
Before treatment, the dentist carefully reviews the patient’s symptoms and discomfort and performs a thorough oral examination. X-rays or 3D CT imaging may be used when needed for an accurate diagnosis.
-
Treatment Planning
Based on the diagnosis, the dentist explains the necessary treatment method, the expected treatment period, and estimated cost. The plan is finalized after the patient has fully understood and agreed.
-
Step-by-Step Treatment
Treatment proceeds step by step according to the patient’s condition and treatment goals. When needed, cavity treatment, root canal treatment, crown restoration, and gum treatment may be carried out in sequence.
-
Anesthesia and Pain Control
Throughout the treatment process, patient comfort is prioritized by using appropriate local anesthesia and pain control, with careful attention to minimizing discomfort during treatment.
-
Aftercare and Regular Check-ups
After treatment, patients receive guidance on proper care so that their oral condition can remain stable. Regular checkups also help detect recurrence or new problems at an early stage.
