Wisdom tooth removal/Extraction

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. While some individuals may have sufficient space in their jaw for these teeth, many experience issues such as impaction, misalignment, or inadequate space, necessitating the removal of wisdom teeth.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Removal

Pain and Discomfort: Persistent pain, tenderness, or swelling at the back of the mouth.

Difficulty in Jaw Opening: Limited jaw opening or difficulty in fully opening the mouth.

Gum Inflammation: Swollen, red, or bleeding gums around the wisdom teeth.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are partially or fully trapped beneath the gum line.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure

Consultation: Our experienced oral surgeon will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your symptoms to determine if wisdom tooth removal is necessary.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia may be used to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The choice of anesthesia will depend on the complexity of the extraction and your personal preferences.

Tooth Extraction: The wisdom tooth is carefully removed from its socket. In cases of impaction, an incision may be made in the gum to access the tooth.

Suturing: If necessary, the surgical site will be sutured to facilitate proper healing.

Post-Operative Care: After the extraction, you'll receive detailed instructions for post-operative care, including pain management, swelling reduction, and dietary guidelines.

Pain Relief: Alleviates the pain and discomfort associated with impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth.

Prevention of Complications: Removes the risk of infections, cysts, and damage to neighboring teeth caused by impacted wisdom teeth.

Improved Oral Health: Promotes optimal oral health by preventing crowding, misalignment, and other issues associated with problematic wisdom teeth.

Recovery and Aftercare

Rest: Allow yourself time to rest and recover, avoiding strenuous activities for the first few days.

Oral Hygiene: Follow the provided instructions for gentle oral hygiene practices, being cautious around the surgical site.

Diet: Stick to a soft and cool diet initially, gradually reintroducing normal foods as advised by your oral surgeon.
