Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 25-year-old girl. The doctor told me I should have surgery to cut and remove two teeth. I wonder if it will be a difficult operation or not? And is it possible that these teeth have not erupted at this age so far, and it is tempting for them to come out with the help of something?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
So maybe your wisdom tooth has not come out, and it is impacted, and the reason for this may vary, like lack of space, the tooth may be in different positions, or the tooth may be stuck in the bone. Get a dental X-ray to find out the position of the impacted tooth. Patients may experience pain, decay on the adjacent tooth, radiating pain to the ears and jaws, numbness, etc. So, in this case, to avoid further complications, we need to remove the tooth. You do not need to worry as surgery is done only under anesthesia, and after that, you will be on antibiotics, so there is nothing to worry about. Please follow up three days later after having the extraction.
Thank you.
