Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom Teeth Extractions: Comfortable Removal of Third Molars for Optimal Oral Health

At Dr. Tandon's Dental Speciality Clinic, we recognize that wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can cause significant dental issues if not properly managed. Our experienced dentists offer comfortable and efficient wisdom teeth extractions to safeguard your oral health and prevent potential complications.

Understanding Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. While some individuals may have enough space in their jaws to accommodate these teeth without any problems, most people experience issues due to the lack of space or improper eruption.

When Wisdom Teeth Extraction is Necessary

Wisdom teeth extraction is recommended under the following circumstances:

Impaction: Wisdom teeth may become impacted, meaning they are trapped within the jawbone or gum tissue and cannot fully emerge. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, and damage to neighboring teeth.

Crowding: Lack of space in the jaw can cause the wisdom teeth to push against adjacent teeth, causing crowding and misalignment.

Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create a pocket between the gum and the tooth, allowing bacteria to accumulate and cause infection.

Cysts or Tumors: In some cases, cysts or tumors may develop around impacted wisdom teeth, leading to more severe oral health problems if left untreated.

The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Procedure

Wisdom teeth extraction is a routine and relatively simple procedure performed by our skilled dental team:

Examination and X-rays: Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination and take digital X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and determine if extraction is necessary.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure a pain-free and comfortable extraction experience.

Extraction: The wisdom teeth are carefully removed from their sockets. For impacted teeth, a small incision may be made in the gum to access the tooth.

Stitching and Healing: After the extraction, the surgical site may be stitched to promote proper healing. Gauze is placed over the extraction site to control bleeding.

Post-Extraction Care: Our dental team will provide post-operative instructions to facilitate smooth healing and reduce discomfort. Pain medications may be prescribed, if needed.

The Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth extractions offer several benefits, including:

Prevention of Dental Issues: Extracting problematic wisdom teeth prevents potential dental issues, such as overcrowding, misalignment, and infections.

Pain Relief: Removing impacted or infected wisdom teeth alleviates pain and discomfort associated with these dental issues.

Improved Oral Health: Wisdom teeth extractions promote better oral hygiene and reduce the risk of gum disease and decay.

Caring for Your Healing Mouth

After wisdom teeth extractions, follow the post-operative instructions provided by our dental team to ensure a smooth recovery. Avoid smoking, drinking through straws, and consuming hard or sticky foods during the healing period.
