Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that often cannot erupt normally into the oral cavity. They may emerge only partially, tilt against adjacent teeth, or remain completely embedded in the jawbone. Leaving wisdom teeth untreated can lead to various issues such as pain, swelling, gum infection, decay of adjacent teeth, or even the formation of cysts in the future. Therefore, wisdom tooth removal is not just for pain relief, but a preventive measure against long-term oral health complications.

At SMILE AND SHINE, we prioritize your safety and comfort above all else.

• Precise Planning : The dentist will perform X-rays and thoroughly assess the position of the wisdom tooth to plan a surgery that is fast and minimally invasive.
• Surgery by Specialists : The procedure is performed by oral surgeons with extensive expertise and experience.
• Gentle Technique : We use high-quality anesthetics and gentle surgical techniques to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
• Post-operative Care : We provide detailed advice and self-care guidelines to promote fast healing and minimize complications.

You should consult a dentist to consider wisdom tooth removal if you have the following indications:

• Pain, swelling, or inflammation in the gums where the wisdom tooth is erupting.
• A feeling of pressure from the wisdom tooth pushing against adjacent teeth.
• Food particles getting trapped and being difficult to clean, leading to bad breath or gum inflammation.
• The dentist detects from an X-ray that the wisdom tooth is in an abnormal position and may cause future problems.
• You are undergoing orthodontic planning and need to remove wisdom teeth to create space.

Good preparation ensures that the surgery and recovery proceed smoothly.

1. See the dentist for an exam and X-ray : To allow the dentist to assess the complexity and plan the treatment.
2. Provide a detailed medical history : Especially concerning chronic conditions, drug allergies, and any regular medications.
3. Get enough rest : You should get a full night’s sleep the night before the surgery.
4. Clean your mouth : Brush and rinse your mouth thoroughly before seeing the dentist.
5. Plan your transportation : If you are highly anxious, bring a friend or relative to drive you home.
