Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt in the oral cavity. They come in between the ages of 17-25 years. If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection, or other dental problems they need to be surgically extracted.



Wisdom tooth extraction

An impacted wisdom tooth may:

1

Grow at an angle toward the next tooth (second molar)


2

Grow at an angle toward the back of the mouth


3

Grow at a right angle to the other teeth, as if the wisdom tooth is "lying down" within the jawbone


4

Grow straight up or down like other teeth but stay trapped within the jawbone


Problems with impacted wisdom teeth

A wisdom tooth needs to be removed if it results in problems such as:

1

Pain


2

Trapping food and debris behind the wisdom tooth


3

Infection or gum disease (periodontal disease)


4

Tooth decay in a partially erupted wisdom tooth

5

Damage to a nearby tooth or surrounding bone


6

Development of a fluid-filled sac (cyst) around the wisdom tooth


7

Complications with orthodontic treatments to straighten other teeth


How you prepare

Your dentist may perform the procedure in the office. However, if your tooth is deeply impacted or if the extraction requires an in-depth surgical approach, your dentist may suggest you see an oral surgeon. In addition to making the area numb with local anaesthetic, your surgeon may suggest sedation to allow you to be more comfortable during the procedure.


PROCEDURE

A wisdom tooth needs to be removed if it results in problems such as:

1

Local anaesthesia. Your dentist administers local anaesthesia near the site of each extraction.


2

An incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone


3

Removal of bone that blocks access to the tooth root

4

Tooth removal


5

Stitches may be needed to close the wound and promote healing, though this isn't always necessary


6

A compress is placed over the extraction site to control bleeding and to help a blood clot form




Our Reviews

Ananth Subramanian

My mother is 95 yrs and bedridden. Very few amongst Doctors that too MD who agree to home visit. Dr.Khanna agreed considering the age and condition of the patient. He is full of empathy and care for the patient over and above being very competent and professional. Rare combination indeed. We are lucky his clinic is in our neighbourhood.

Sunil Aiyer

It feels like home... meaning comfortable whenever we visit. Dr. Binti has a way of doing all that is necessary without us as patients realising it. Recommended to all as the pricing is reasonable and besides quality services are available at almost ones doorstep.

Shilendra Benjamin

Excellent service. Dr Ashok Khanna, with his vast experience of many decades, inspires confidence in his patients. He visited my home at short notice to examine my mother, twice, and always followed up on call to enquire on her progress, which is now rare to come across these days. Will strongly recommend him to anyone who lives in the area. His diagnosis and treatment are accurate and fair.

I went to Healthchakra Clinic for my child's dental treatment of tooth extraction and root canal, and what an amazing dentist!
Dr. BINTI was very enthusiastic about her work; she was treated as if she were a family member. I desperately needed a dentist I could rely on. I was quite pleased with the outcome of my child's dental work. Initially, my child was terrified, but I am grateful to Dr. BINTI for managing the matter so professionally.
