Dangers of Impacted Wisdom Teeth & Treatment in Abuja

What Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth and Why Are They Dangerous?

Impacted wisdom teeth occur when the third molars (wisdom teeth) do not have enough space to erupt properly. Instead of growing straight, they become trapped in the jawbone or gums. This is extremely common in Abuja due to modern diets and genetics.

Common Warning Signs:

• Persistent pain at the back of the jaw
• Swollen or bleeding gums
• Bad breath and unpleasant taste
• Difficulty opening your mouth
• Headaches and ear pain

Serious Dangers If Left Untreated

Infection and abscesses – Bacteria can spread to the bloodstream
Damage to adjacent teeth – Impacted teeth push against healthy molars
Cysts and tumors – Rare but serious complications
Chronic jaw pain and misalignment
Sinus problems – Especially for upper wisdom teeth
