Wisdom teeth (third molars) often lack room to erupt properly, becoming impacted. This can cause pain, swelling, infection and damage to nearby teeth. At Astra Dental Care, wisdom tooth removal is done safely under local anaesthesia with CBCT planning for surgical cases.
Signs you may need it removed
- Pain or pressure at the back of the jaw
- Swelling, redness or repeated gum infection
- Difficulty opening the mouth or bad taste
- Food trapping and decay in a partly erupted tooth
- Crowding of the front teeth
The procedure
A simple erupted wisdom tooth is extracted quickly. An impacted tooth needs a small surgical procedure — the area is numbed, the tooth is removed, and the site is stitched. It is painless during the procedure.
Recovery tips
- Bite gently on gauze to control bleeding
- Use cold packs for the first 24 hours
- Eat soft, cool foods and stay hydrated
- Avoid smoking, straws and vigorous rinsing for a few days
- Take prescribed medication as directed
