30 June, 2026RED ALERT: Horizontal Wisdom Tooth Piercing Tooth #7!
Check out this clinical case of a painless, fast-healing 4-wisdom-tooth extraction using Piezotome technology at Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic.
Misaligned or impacted wisdom teeth have always been a “nightmare” for many. In particular, a horizontally growing wisdom tooth that directly hits tooth #7 is classified by dentists as a “Red Alert” situation, posing an immediate threat to oral health if not treated in time.
Recently, Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic successfully managed and treated one such complex case. Let’s hear about Mr. Luong Quang Nam’s journey of undergoing a gentle, smooth extraction of 4 wisdom teeth all at once.
Red Alert Situation: Severe Pain Caused by a Horizontally Impacted Wisdom Tooth
Mr. Luong Quang Nam came to our clinic in a state of high anxiety, suffering from persistent, uncomfortable pain around the back of his jaw. Through a clinical examination and X-ray imaging, our dentists identified his exact condition:
-
Two lower wisdom teeth (teeth #8) were growing horizontally, pushing directly into the roots of teeth #7. This is an extremely dangerous complication that, if left untreated, can lead to severe infection, tooth crowding, and a high risk of permanently damaging teeth #7 (the most critical functional chewing teeth).
-
Pericoronitis (swelling and inflammation) around the crowns of teeth #8.
-
Grade 2 dental calculus (tartar), creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria around the misaligned teeth.

The Optimal Solution: Piezotome Technology & PRF Membrane
Recognizing this as a complex case requiring precise intervention to completely protect teeth #7, the specialist team at Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic held a consultation and decided to implement our most advanced treatment plan:
-
Thorough Oral Hygiene: A dental scaling was performed to eliminate bacterial reservoirs, ensuring a sterile environment before the minor surgery.
-
Piezotome Ultrasonic Extraction: Instead of using traditional elevators and forceps that often cause dental anxiety, Piezotome ultrasonic waves gently separate the gum tissue and sever the ligaments around the tooth roots. This method allows for a quick extraction, minimizing bleeding and soft tissue trauma.
-
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Membrane Grafting: This platelet-rich plasma membrane, extracted from the patient’s own blood, was placed into the extraction sockets. The PRF membrane acts as a protective shield, accelerating tissue regeneration, stopping bleeding quickly, and highly reducing swelling and pain during the healing process.
In just a single appointment, our specialists successfully performed a simultaneous extraction of all 4 wisdom teeth (including the 2 horizontal lower teeth and 2 upper teeth).

Patient Testimonial: “Extracting 4 Wisdom Teeth at Once Didn’t Hurt at All”
Many people worry that extracting just one wisdom tooth is painful enough, let alone four at the same time. However, Mr. Luong Quang Nam’s real-life experience offers a completely different perspective.
Sharing his thoughts with us during his follow-up visit a few days later, Mr. Nam happily said:
“Before coming to the clinic, I was extremely anxious and scared because I thought pulling out wisdom teeth—especially horizontally impacted ones—would be incredibly painful. But after being operated on directly by Dr. Tang Ngoc, I was genuinely surprised because I felt absolutely no pain at all. Once I got home, my face was only slightly swollen and it healed very quickly. Thank you so much to Dr. Ngoc and the entire team at Nhu Ngoc Dental Clinic!”
Don’t let misaligned wisdom teeth silently destroy your smile and health. If you are experiencing any unusual pain in the back of your jaw, visit a reputable dental clinic immediately for an X-ray scan and timely consultation.
