If wisdom teeth do not grow due to conditions such as lack of space in the jaw, inherited diseases, childhood diseases (such as anemia and rickets), then this tooth is called a hidden wisdom tooth. If only a small amount of tooth protrudes from the gum, in this case it is called half-hidden wisdom.

If the tooth is bare towards the oral cavity and has severe caries and smooth roots, the wisdom tooth can be removed by pulling it out of the mouth. The cost of wisdom tooth extraction is almost the same as other jaw teeth.

After wisdom tooth surgery or any of the treatment methods, the dentist, depending on the patient’s condition, prescribes appropriate painkillers and antibiotics, usually amoxicillin capsules as an antibiotic and acetaminophen painkillers to reduce pain.

Wisdom tooth infection:

Wisdom tooth infection occurs when the wisdom tooth becomes so decayed that the tooth nerve becomes infected and over time causes cysts and in acute cases swelling of the face and neck around the wisdom teeth. In some cases, during the eruption of wisdom teeth, a gingival cavity is created on the tooth, which is the place where food and plaque get stuck. This lesion is called pericronitis. Due to the painful and infectious nature of the lesion, the patient should seek treatment as soon as possible.
