The third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, are often the teeth that get stuck or impacted, leading to pain and discomfort when they try to come out. Taking out an impacted third molar is a straightforward procedure. It's done while you're under local anesthesia, and it involves removing the entire impacted tooth.
Your questions, answered.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth should be removed when they cause pain, infection, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth. Our oral surgeons at Gupta Dental Clinic evaluate each case with X-rays.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain during extraction. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed medication.
How long is recovery after wisdom tooth removal?
Most patients recover within 3-7 days. Following post-operative instructions from our Noida clinic team helps ensure smooth and quick healing.
What are the risks of keeping impacted wisdom teeth?
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause infections, cysts, damage to neighbouring teeth, and jaw pain. Early evaluation at our Sector 12 clinic helps prevent these complications.
