Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have problems with my wisdom teeth for a while now. But since a month I got it worse and I feel a strong pressure throughout my jaw, headaches and problem sleeping. I really need to take them out. My question/concern is that I am really afraid about nerve damage from the procedure. How would you rate the risk of that and if it would happen what can be done about it and in what time frame would that have to be done?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and also seen the attached X-ray. As a specialist, I am ready to help you. Yeah as you have all 4 thirdmolar impacted I can understant how painful it can be and the level of uncomfortable state you are at. Kindly do not worry so-much any successful clinician is well accustomed with the third molar procedures and easily carry out without any post operative complication. But to be on safe side and to avoid any complications you can have 2 extractions or 1 extraction at a time. That way the risk is minimized to very low or null point.

What happens is the nerve damage you are talking about can be assosiated with any tooth as the nerve pass below the root. So thinking about it is useless as thousand of people are getting extraction every day. No fear of nerve damage if you delay the procedure. One-thing I would like to add to ease your worry is that no procedure can be carried out if you are in pain. So, here is what I advice you,I am writting you a prescription get those medicines and take as I have adviced.

Your pain and discomfort will be in control (take for a month). Trust is the most impotant thing. So kindly follow:

Capsule Sporidex 500 mg, 1 capsule twice daily after meal for 5 days. Tablet Zerodol SP 1 tablet twice daily after meal for 5 days. Capsule Pan D 1 capsule twice daily before meal for 5 days. Betadine mouthwash, gargle in lukewarm water 2-3 times a day. Avoid sticky or sweet food. Brush twice. These medicines are enough for you.

The Probable causes

Partially erupted all 4 third molars.

Probable diagnosis

Pericoronitis with respect to all 4 third molars.

Treatment plan

Medications for now. Get the extraction later.

Preventive measures

Avoid sweet or sticky or chilled food.

Regarding follow up

Let me know whenever you need. I will be helping you out. Do not worry of any kind. Ask if you need any further information.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
