Extractions (Teeth Removal)

Wisdom teeth removal, particularly when the teeth are impacted, is a common procedure performed to alleviate discomfort and prevent future dental issues. At AADHYA’s DENTAL, we specialize in the surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth to ensure a safe, comfortable, and efficient process.

What Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth, typically appearing in your late teens or early twenties. In some cases, these teeth may become impacted, meaning they don’t have enough space to emerge properly or are growing at an angle. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause various problems, including:

• Pain, swelling, or infection in the gums.
• Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth.
• Gum disease or cavities due to difficulty cleaning.
• Formation of cysts or damage to surrounding teeth or bone.

Why Do You Need Surgical Extraction?

If your wisdom teeth are impacted, they may not emerge fully or may push against adjacent teeth, causing pain and infection. Surgical extraction is recommended when the teeth are unable to erupt through the gums properly, and other dental treatments (like simply extracting the teeth without surgery) are not feasible. Here’s when surgical removal may be necessary:

• The wisdom teeth are deeply impacted and cannot be removed easily.
• The tooth is growing sideways or at an angle.
• There’s risk of damaging nearby teeth or bone.
• There’s recurring infection or gum disease caused by the impacted tooth.

What to Expect During the Procedure

• Consultation: A thorough examination, including X-rays, will be performed to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine the best approach for removal.
• Local Anesthesia: The area around the impacted teeth will be numbed, and if you’re anxious, sedation options will be offered for your comfort.
• Incision and Removal: A small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the impacted tooth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be broken into smaller pieces for easier removal.
• Stitching: After the tooth is removed, the gum is stitched back together for healing.

Benefits of Surgical Extraction of Impacted Teeth

• Pain Relief: Removal of the impacted teeth alleviates associated pain, swelling, and discomfort.
• Prevention of Further Issues: Prevents gum infections, tooth damage, and complications like cysts or tooth crowding.
• Better Oral Health: Ensures you can maintain better hygiene and prevent future dental problems in the affected area.

Post-Surgical Care

After wisdom teeth removal, following these post-operative instructions is critical for a smooth recovery:

• Rest and Recovery: Rest for the first 24-48 hours and avoid strenuous activities.
• Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications will help manage discomfort.
• Swelling Reduction: Apply ice packs on the outside of your face to reduce swelling.
• Diet and Hydration: Stick to soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods. Drink plenty of water.
• Oral Hygiene: Follow the dentist’s instructions on how to clean your mouth without disturbing the surgical area.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.
