Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Safe, comfortable removal performed by experienced dental specialists

Performed by dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon

Preventing Problems Before They Start

Wisdom teeth appear between ages 16-25 at the back corners of your mouth. Extraction prevents pain, infection, and complications from impacted or poorly positioned teeth.

When Extraction is Recommended

No Room to Grow

Impacted wisdom teeth do not have room to emerge properly, causing pain and potential damage.

Abnormal Angles

Wisdom teeth growing at abnormal angles can damage nearby teeth or bone structure.

Pain & Infection

Partially erupted teeth create pockets where food traps, leading to gum disease and infection.

Potential Complications

Pain

Chronic pain from pressure and impaction.

Food Trapping

Difficulty cleaning leads to decay and bacteria buildup.

Gum Disease

Pericoronitis (gum inflammation) around partially erupted teeth.

Tooth Decay

Hard-to-reach areas develop cavities and decay.

Cysts

Potential cyst development around impacted teeth.

Important Considerations

Possible Risks

  • Dry socket
  • Potential infection
  • Nerve or jawbone damage
  • Sinus complications

Best Timing

  • Easier surgery in younger adults
  • Preventive removal recommended
  • Even symptom-free teeth may need removal

Aftercare: Detailed written post-operative instructions provided to minimize discomfort and prevent complications.
