Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom Tooth Extraction: Safe & Painless Removal
Are you experiencing pain, swelling, or discomfort at the back of your mouth? It could be due to your wisdom teeth, the last set of molars that usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes, these teeth don’t have enough space to grow properly, leading to pain, infection, or misalignment. At Swastik Superspeciality Dental Clinic, we offer safe and painless wisdom tooth extractions to relieve discomfort and protect your oral health.
When Do You Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but extraction is recommended if you experience:
- Severe pain or swelling in the back of your mouth
- Impacted wisdom teeth (stuck under the gums or growing at an angle)
- Repeated infections or swelling in the gums near the wisdom teeth
- Crowding or shifting of other teeth due to lack of space
- Cavities or decay in partially erupted wisdom teeth
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to severe infections, cysts, or damage to neighboring teeth.
The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure
- Examination & X-ray – We evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth with digital X-rays to determine the best approach.
- Local Anesthesia – The area around the tooth is numbed to ensure a pain-free experience.
- Tooth Removal – If the tooth is impacted, a small incision is made to carefully remove it. The procedure is quick and comfortable.
- Healing & Recovery – We provide post-care instructions to ensure fast and smooth healing. Most patients recover within a few days.
Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Painful?
With modern dental techniques and advanced anesthesia, wisdom tooth removal is completely painless. Mild discomfort may occur during healing, but we provide medications to help you recover quickly.
Post-Extraction Care Tips
- Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling
- Eat soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy meals for a few days
- Avoid smoking or using straws to prevent dry socket
- Keep your mouth clean with gentle rinsing and prescribed medications
