Wisdom Tooth Removal 

Safe and Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Removal at Smiley Dental Clinic

At Smiley Dental Clinic, we provide expert care for wisdom tooth removal, ensuring a smooth and pain-free experience. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause complications when they don’t grow properly, making their removal necessary to protect your oral health.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. They may need removal if they:

• Are Impacted: Trapped beneath the gum or jawbone, causing pain and swelling.

• Cause Overcrowding: Affect the alignment of your other teeth.

• Develop Cavities or Gum Disease: Due to their hard-to-reach position, making proper cleaning difficult.

• Lead to Infections or Cysts: Which can damage nearby teeth or bone.

Symptoms Indicating Wisdom Tooth Problems

• Persistent pain or swelling in the back of your mouth.

• Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing.

• Inflamed or bleeding gums around the wisdom tooth area.

• Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in your mouth.

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

1. Comprehensive Consultation:

   • A thorough examination and X-rays to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth.

2. Anesthesia for Comfort:

   • Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available to ensure you remain relaxed throughout the procedure.

3. Extraction Procedure:

   • For fully erupted teeth: Simple extraction techniques are used.

   • For impacted teeth: A small incision is made in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal.

4. Stitches and Aftercare:

   • The area may be stitched to promote healing. We provide detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery.

Recovery and Aftercare Tips

• Manage Discomfort: Use prescribed painkillers and apply cold compresses to reduce swelling.

• Maintain Oral Hygiene: Rinse with warm salt water and avoid brushing directly over the extraction site.

• Stick to Soft Foods: Opt for soups, yogurt, and mashed foods until healing progresses.

• Avoid Smoking or Straws: To prevent dry socket, a common post-extraction complication.
