Wisdom Teeth Removal for Pain Relief and Oral Health

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually appear in the late teens or early adulthood. In many cases, they do not have enough space to grow properly, which can lead to discomfort and dental problems. At Aasha Orthodontic & Dental Care Clinic, we provide careful and well-planned wisdom teeth removal under the supervision of Dr Shantanu Khattri, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure.

Why Wisdom Teeth May Need Removal

Not all wisdom teeth require removal, but when they are impacted or improperly positioned, they can cause various issues that affect oral health.

• Impaction: Tooth remains partially or fully trapped in the gum or bone
• Pain and swelling: Discomfort around the back of the mouth
• Infection: Difficulty in cleaning leads to bacterial growth
• Crowding: Pressure on nearby teeth

Signs That May Indicate a Problem

Certain symptoms may suggest that your wisdom teeth need evaluation and possible removal.

• Pain or discomfort at the back of the mouth
• Swelling in the gums or jaw area
• Difficulty opening the mouth fully
• Bad breath or unpleasant taste

What Happens During the Procedure?

Wisdom teeth removal is performed under local anesthesia to ensure that the procedure is comfortable. Depending on the position of the tooth, a simple extraction or a minor surgical procedure may be required.

• Assessment: Clinical and radiographic evaluation
• Anesthesia: Numbs the area for a painless procedure
• Removal: Tooth is carefully extracted
• Post-care guidance: Instructions for recovery

Is the Procedure Painful?

With modern techniques and proper anesthesia, the procedure itself is generally comfortable. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur after the extraction, which usually settles within a few days with proper care.

Aftercare and Recovery

Following the aftercare instructions is important for smooth healing and to avoid complications.

• Avoid hard or hot foods initially
• Maintain oral hygiene carefully
• Follow prescribed medication if advised
• Allow proper rest for healing
