Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes they emerge from the gum line, and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them. But more often than not, they fail to emerge and become impacted due to a lack of room.
Impacted wisdom teeth that are partially or fully erupted tend to be quite difficult to clean and are susceptible to tooth decay, recurring infections, and even gum disease. Additionally, these teeth can cause pain and misalignment in your other teeth. When a wisdom tooth is impacted, it may need to be removed to prevent or solve pain and other oral health issues.
Maxillofacial injuries or facial trauma encompass any injury to the mouth, face, and jaw. One of the most common types of serious injury to the face is broken or fractured bones. Fractures can involve the lower or upper jaw, palate, cheekbones, eye sockets, or a combination of these bones. These injuries can affect the ability to breathe, speak, and swallow.
Due to the high risk involved in maxillofacial injuries, the expertise of oral and maxillofacial surgeons is indispensable. Avoiding injury is always best, so it’s extremely important to use seat belts when driving, as well as protective mouth guards and appropriate masks and helmets for when participating in athletic pursuits at any level.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the only recognized dental specialists who, after completing dental school, are surgically trained in an American Dental Association-accredited hospital-based residency program for a minimum of four years. They train alongside medical residents in specialties like:
Their training focuses almost exclusively on the hard and soft tissue of the face, mouth, and jaws. Their knowledge and surgical expertise uniquely qualify them to diagnose and treat the functional and esthetic conditions in this part of the body.
The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons strongly recommends that wisdom teeth be removed by the time the patient is a young adult, typically around the ages of 18 to 24. Extraction at this age is required in order to help prevent future problems and to ensure optimal healing.
