WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

Wisdom teeth are the last molars at the back of the mouth that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Many people don’t have enough space in their jaws for these teeth, which can cause them to become impacted (stuck or misaligned). This may lead to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth, so dentists often recommend removal if problems arise or are likely:

Steps of wisdom tooth extraction:

Here are the steps of the wisdom tooth extraction process:

1. Diagnosis and X-Ray
2. Local anaesthesia to make it painless
3. Extraction – simple or surgical
4. Placement of stitches
5. Healing phase

1. Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Removal is recommended if they cause:

● Pain or swelling
● Infection or gum disease
● Tooth decay (hard to clean)
● Damage to nearby teeth
● Crowding or alignment issues

2. Is wisdom tooth removal painful?

No, the procedure itself is not painful because anaesthesia is used to numb the area. You may feel some pressure or movement during the extraction, but you shouldn’t feel pain.

3. Does it hurt after the procedure?

After the anaesthesia wears off, you may feel mild to moderate pain, swelling, or discomfort for a few days. This is normal and part of the healing process.

4. How long does the surgery take?

● Usually 20–45 minutes depending on complexity
● Multiple teeth can often be removed in one session

5. What is recovery like?

● Swelling and mild pain for 2–3 days
● Full recovery in 1–2 weeks
● Stitches may dissolve on their own

6. What can I eat after surgery?

Stick to soft foods:
● Yogurt
● Soups (not too hot)
● Mashed potatoes
● Smoothies

Avoid:
● Hard, crunchy, or spicy foods
● Using straws (can cause dry socket)

7. How do I care for my mouth after surgery?

● Rest for 24 hours
● Avoid smoking and alcohol
● Gently rinse with saltwater after 24 hours
● Don’t brush directly over the extraction site initially
