RELIEVE PAIN & PREVENT
COMPLICATIONS

Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Wisdom teeth are often removed because they don't erupt properly — causing pain, damage, or infection. You might need a third molar extraction if:

• The tooth is impacted (trapped under the gums or jawbone)
• It is growing at an angle, pushing into other teeth
• There is pain, swelling, or gum infection in the back of your mouth
• Food and bacteria are getting trapped, causing decay
• There isn't enough space in your mouth, causing crowding or misalignment
• You're getting braces and need space cleared beforehand

At CaP Dental Clinic, we don't remove wisdom teeth unless absolutely necessary. If they're healthy, well-aligned, and not causing problems, they may not need extraction.

How We Assess Wisdom Tooth Cases

Every patient receives a detailed clinical evaluation and X-ray imaging to determine the exact position and angle of the tooth. Based on the assessment, we'll let you know:

• Whether removal is required
• If the extraction will be simple or surgical
• What kind of anesthesia will be used
• What risks or precautions apply to your case

Our goal is to give you clarity, not confusion — so you can make an informed, confident decision.

The Extraction Procedure: What to Expect

Most wisdom tooth extractions are done under local anesthesia. For complex or deeply impacted teeth, we may recommend sedation or refer to an oral surgeon if needed. Here's how the typical process goes:

• X-Ray & Planning – We analyze the tooth's position and prepare for the safest approach.
• Numbing the Area – Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.
• Tooth Removal – For impacted teeth, a small incision is made, and the tooth may be sectioned before removal.
• Closure & Gauze – The site is cleaned and stitched if necessary. Gauze is placed to manage bleeding.
• Post-Op Instructions – We'll give you clear written and verbal guidance to support healing.

The entire procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes, with recovery starting immediately after.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients recover well within 5–7 days, depending on the complexity of the extraction. We guide you through every step of healing with a focus on reducing pain and preventing infection.

Key aftercare includes:

• Rest and limited mouth activity for 24–48 hours
• Avoiding smoking, spitting, and using a straw
• Eating soft, cool foods (curd, rice, mashed fruits, juices)
• Using prescribed painkillers and antibiotics
• Cold compresses to reduce swelling
• Warm salt water rinses after 24 hours

We schedule a follow-up only if needed, and our team is always available by phone if you have concerns.

When Should You Remove a Wisdom Tooth Early?

Even if your wisdom tooth isn't currently painful, early extraction may be advised if:

• It is partially erupted and prone to trapping food
• There are signs of decay or soft tissue inflammation
• Your braces or bite alignment will be affected
• You are at risk of cyst formation or bone damage

Early removal often results in easier healing, fewer complications, and less surgical trauma.
