Wisdom teeth also known as the third/final set of molars, are the last teeth that most people get in their late teens or early twenties.

·       If wisdom teeth do not have enough room to grow properly and it pushes the second molar or the adjoining teeth, then it may damage other teeth and increase the risk of infection.

·       The partially erupted wisdom teeth are at higher risk of tooth decay than other teeth.

Wisdom teeth removal procedure

Before the surgery:

Before removing the wisdom tooth, the patient will be given an injection of anaesthesia to numb the tooth and the surrounding area. If the patient is feeling anxious about the removal process, then the dentist might also give him a sedative to calm him down.

During the surgery:

If the tooth has erupted completely than it can easily be extracted. But if the tooth hasn’t come out of the gum then a small cut will be made in your gum to access the tooth properly. If a piece of bone is covering the tooth then it might also be removed. Then the tooth may be cut into smaller parts so that it is easier to remove them through the opening. During the procedure the patient would not feel pain, because the area treated would be numb. The time required to complete the surgery varies but it usually takes a few minutes. However, if the situation is complicated then the surgery might go on for more than 20 minutes as well.

After the surgery:

If a cut is made then the patient will be given stitches to seal the gum. These might usually dissolve in 7 – 10 days. In some cases, the dentist might also prescribe some antibiotics if you have ongoing infection and pain.

For 24 hours after removing your wisdom teeth, you should avoid-

·       Rinsing or spitting.

·       Sucking actions.

·       Drinking hot liquids.

·       Drinking alcohol and smoking.

·       Brushing the teeth directly neighboring the extracted tooth.
