Wisdom Toothache

The detailed dental examination helps to detect the reason for the pain. Our specialists examine the wisdom tooth, other teeth, the gum condition and the state of your jaw.

In some cases, digital X-rays are taken to determine the position of the wisdom tooth and possible issues such as the presence of infection, inflammation, decay or tooth impaction.

After the examination, our specialists recommend the best way of treatment depending on the reason for your toothache. If the source of the pain is trapped food or plaque, we carefully clean the area to stop the irritation.

If the reason for the problem is infection or inflammation of the gum, the appropriate medications are recommended to relieve the pain and promote healing.

If the toothache is caused by decay, the specialists perform the respective treatment procedure depending on the severity of tooth decay.

However, if the tooth is impacted or severely decayed, as well as if it irritates the neighbouring teeth, tooth extraction will be suggested.

If tooth extraction is required, the procedure is explained to the patient before the process begins. The patient’s comfort is the priority and after the treatment, recommendations for the post-treatment period are provided.

The timely treatment of the problems with the wisdom tooth helps to relieve pain, swelling and pressure at the back of the mouth. It also helps control the infection and inflammation of the gum before the situation worsens.

The early treatment may help to prevent damage to the neighbouring teeth that can be caused by the wisdom tooth.

Besides, this procedure can help to make chewing easier and improve the ability to open the mouth if the jaw stiffness is present.

Most importantly, it solves the problem that causes wisdom toothache rather than temporarily treating its symptoms.

Depending on the diagnosis, it can help avoid recurrent flare-ups and protect the patient’s oral health.

What causes wisdom toothache?

Wisdom toothache can be caused by the infection of the gums around a partly erupted wisdom tooth, trapped food and plaque, tooth decay, pressure of an impacted tooth or inflammation around the back teeth.

Will my wisdom tooth need to be removed?

No. Removal is recommended only when the wisdom tooth is impacted, frequently infected, severely decayed or affects the neighbouring teeth.

When should I visit the dentist for wisdom tooth pain?

You should visit the specialist if the pain does not subside, the swelling grows, the gums become sensitive, chewing causes pain, and it is difficult for you to open the mouth fully.

Is the removal of the wisdom tooth painful?

Our specialists do their best to provide comfortable treatment for the patients. In case the removal of the tooth is required, the procedure will be explained and appropriate anaesthesia will be used.
