Surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth are nothing but your 3rd molars that erupt in the late teen years and hence are called 'Wisdom' teeth. They generally cause problems, as there is not enough room in the upper and lower jaw for them to erupt and grow properly. As a result of this the third molars are impacted in the bone or gum. Only if they cause pain, infection or decay of the neighbouring tooth they have to be surgically removed.

Surgical removal of wisdom teeth is the most simple and commonly carried out surgical procedure by a Maxillofacial surgeon. Know more about Wisdom teeth.

Jaw Cysts & Tumours

A jaw cyst is a pathological cavity filled with fluid rarely seen in the jaws. These cysts can expand in size and weaken the bone. Sometimes they also resorb the roots of the tooth and can cause fracture of the jaws.

Benign jaw tumours are also rarely seen which causes expansion of the jaws. They may initially present causing numbness on that side of the jaw or of the lower lip. These jaw tumours if untreated can become very large and may necessitate removal of the jaw itself. Click on the above link to know more about treatment of jaw cysts and tumours.
