Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, usually emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. While some wisdom teeth grow normally, many become impacted or do not have enough space to erupt properly, leading to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove one or more third molars that are causing problems or are likely to cause future complications.
Depending on the position of the tooth, the extraction may be a simple procedure or a surgical removal for impacted wisdom teeth. Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps protect your oral health, relieve pain, and prevent more serious dental issues in the future.
Your dentist may recommend wisdom tooth removal if your wisdom teeth are causing pain, infection, or other oral health problems.
Pain or discomfort at the back of the mouth.
Swollen, red, or tender gums around the wisdom tooth.
Wisdom teeth trapped beneath the gums or jawbone.
Recurring gum infections around the wisdom tooth.
Decay affecting the wisdom tooth due to difficult cleaning.
Pressure causing damage to neighbouring healthy teeth.
Cysts or infection associated with the wisdom tooth.
Crowding or shifting of adjacent teeth caused by wisdom teeth.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consult your dentist for a wisdom tooth evaluation.
Persistent pain or discomfort in the back of the jaw.
Swelling around the gums or jaw caused by impacted wisdom teeth.
Pain and stiffness while opening or closing your mouth.
Bad breath or an unpleasant taste caused by infection around the tooth.
Food becoming trapped around partially erupted wisdom teeth.
Frequent headaches or jaw discomfort due to wisdom tooth pressure.
Early Treatment: Prompt evaluation and treatment can prevent infection, protect nearby teeth, and reduce the risk of more serious dental complications.
We perform a comprehensive dental examination, including digital X-rays, to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Based on your diagnosis, we explain the procedure, discuss your treatment options, and answer any questions you may have.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. For impacted wisdom teeth, a small surgical procedure may be required to safely remove the tooth.
After the extraction, we provide detailed post-operative instructions to promote healing, minimize discomfort, and reduce the risk of complications.
Rest during the first 24 hours to support proper healing after your procedure.
Use a cold pack on your cheek to help reduce swelling and discomfort.
Choose soft foods during the initial healing period to avoid irritating the extraction site.
Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw to prevent complications such as dry socket.
Follow your prescribed medication instructions exactly as advised by your dentist.
Keep your mouth clean while avoiding the extraction site until your dentist advises otherwise.
