What is Impaction ?
An Impacted Tooth occurs when a tooth (most commonly a wisdom tooth) fails to erupt properly through the gum due to lack of space or incorrect angulation. It may remain partially or fully trapped in the jawbone, leading to pain, swelling, and infection.
At Athiban Dental Care, we diagnose impactions with digital X-rays and CBCT scans to plan safe, precise, and comfortable surgical removal procedures.
Reasons for Impaction Treatment
- Pain or swelling at the back of the jaw
- Difficulty opening the mouth or chewing
- Gum infection or pus discharge near wisdom teeth
- Pressure or crowding of adjacent teeth
- Decay in partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Jaw stiffness or facial discomfort
Treating impactions early helps prevent infections, cysts, and long-term oral complications.
Procedure for Impaction Treatment
- Clinical Examination & Imaging – Digital X-rays or CBCT scans determine tooth position and complexity
- Local Anesthesia / Sedation – Ensures a completely pain-free procedure
- Incision & Access – Small incision made to expose the impacted tooth
- Tooth Sectioning (if required) – Tooth may be sectioned into parts for easier removal
- Extraction & Cleaning – Tooth carefully removed and socket cleaned thoroughly
- Suturing & Recovery Guidance – Site is closed and post-operative care instructions provided
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and is performed under sterile conditions for complete safety.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Mild swelling or discomfort for 2–3 days is normal
- Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Avoid smoking, alcohol, or hot foods for at least 48 hours
- Eat soft foods like soups, yogurt, or smoothies
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Maintain gentle oral hygiene; avoid brushing the extraction area for 24 hours
Most patients heal completely within 7–10 days, with visible improvement from day three onward.
