Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Wisdom tooth surgery, also known as wisdom tooth extraction, is a common dental procedure performed to remove one or more of the third molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, wisdom teeth can become impacted, misaligned, or fail to emerge properly, leading to pain, infection, and other dental complications.
At Dr. Rahi’s Dental Clinic, Dr. Pratish Kumar Rahi performs wisdom tooth surgeries with precision and care, ensuring minimal discomfort and fast recovery. The procedure is often recommended when a wisdom tooth:
Grows at an angle and presses against other teeth
Remains trapped under the gums (impacted)
Causes pain, swelling, or infection
Leads to crowding or damage to adjacent teeth
Creates cysts or other jaw problems
The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia. In more complex cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be used. Once the area is numb, the dentist carefully removes the tooth, sometimes making a small incision in the gum if the tooth is impacted. Stitches may be placed to aid healing.
After surgery, patients may experience mild swelling, discomfort, or slight bleeding for a day or two. Ice packs, painkillers, and soft food are usually recommended for a smoother recovery. Dr. Rahi provides clear post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
Common symptoms that may indicate the need for wisdom tooth removal include jaw pain, swollen gums, difficulty opening the mouth, bad breath, or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a dental consultation is strongly advised.
