TREATMENTS

Safe and Effective Removal of Impacted or Painful Wisdom Teeth

About the treatment

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common surgical procedure to remove one or more third molars (wisdom teeth). These teeth often cause pain, crowding, infection, or gum inflammation, making removal necessary for long-term oral health.

Why is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Needed?

  • Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or swelling.
  • Infection or inflammation in the surrounding gums.
  • Risk of crowding or shifting of adjacent teeth.
  • Prevention of cysts, cavities, or jaw complications.

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure

  • A dental X-ray determines the position of wisdom teeth.
  • Local anaesthesia or sedation is used for comfort.
  • A small incision may be needed if the tooth is impacted.
  • The tooth is carefully extracted in sections if necessary.
  • The area is stitched if needed, and a gauze pad is placed.
  • Recovery instructions are provided to ensure a smooth healing process.

Aftercare for Wisdom Tooth Extraction

  • Use cold compresses to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid smoking, alcohol, and strenuous activity for a few days.
  • Stick to soft foods like soups, yogurt, and smoothies.
  • If there is severe pain, swelling, or prolonged bleeding.
  • If you develop dry socket (severe pain after clot loss).
