I am a 27y old guy and am getting pain for the past 2 days when I open my jaw completely or chew something. I went to a dental clinic yesterday. The doc, after some testing and taking Xray confirmed that wisdom teeth is growing sidewards instead of straight direction and hence I need to remove it. So I want to know whether there is another option or is it the only way? If so, How much time medication is required?Suggest some good hospitals where this can be done in Bangalore(preferably in Marathahalli, Old Airport road), if u have some good information. Thanks in advance.
Hi, your condition is due to an impacted third molar. There is no other option for the condition except surgical removal as it may lead to formation of a cyst, thinning of the jaw bone leading to fractures and a lot of other problems. It is a minor chair side procedure done under local anesthesia, So please do not worry. A good Oral surgeon must be consulted, and the procedure may be finished in half to one hour duration.
