What is wisdom tooth extraction? – Wisdom Tooth pain treatment in East Delhi
Wisdom teeth or the third molars are not always indicated for extraction. The removal of wisdom teeth is needed when they are erupting in the wrong direction or causing other problems like damage to the adjacent teeth. The average eruption age is 18 to 24 yrs, and if there is insufficient space in the jaws, the third molars remain stuck inside the jaw. The impacted or stuck teeth may lead to recurrent or chronic pain that necessitates wisdom tooth removal. There are different varieties of wisdom teeth impaction.

Consultation and Treatment planning
The consultation is the first and most important step of treatment planning. Our team will clinically examine your case and design a customized treatment plan in this step. Discuss all your medical history and ask your doubts regarding the treatment during this stage.
Anesthesia
The entire process is painless as it is done after administering local anesthesia. The tooth and the surrounding soft tissue are numb before starting the treatment. The effect of anesthesia lingers after the procedure for a couple of hours, so it is advised not to eat anything during this period.
Procedure
- The procedure for removal of the impacted tooth starts with incising the soft tissue over the tooth. The incision facilitates flap retraction to expose the bone.
- After reaching the bone, a handpiece removes the bone covering the tooth.
- Once we visualize the tooth, we will start loosening it for easy removal
- In cases of complicated tooth impaction, the tooth is segmented into parts before removing.
- After the surgery, sutures are placed for faster healing of the extraction site.

- Slight discomfort and pain are expected after the surgery and can be effectively managed.
