Remove wisdom teeth and
preserve oral health
Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure aimed at extracting one or more of your third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Due to insufficient space in your mouth, they can often cause various oral health issues such as pain, swelling, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. When wisdom teeth are impacted, meaning they are trapped under the gum or have only partially erupted, they can lead to complications that necessitate their removal.
Dr. Sanjay Ghetiya specializes in the safe and efficient extraction of wisdom teeth. The procedure begins with a thorough examination and imaging to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. Based on this evaluation, Dr. Ghetiya will develop a treatment plan to ensure a comfortable and painless experience. Post-removal, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize any discomfort.
Signs and symptoms indicating you may need wisdom tooth removal:
- Persistent pain or discomfort in the back of your mouth
- Swelling or tenderness around the gums
- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
- Recurrent infections in the soft tissue behind your last tooth
- Bad breath or unpleasant taste in your mouth
- Cysts or fluid-filled sacs forming around your wisdom teeth
- Overcrowding or shifting of other teeth
- Visible partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth
Why do you need wisdom tooth removal?
You need wisdom tooth removal to prevent potential oral health issues such as pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Without removal, impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can cause severe discomfort, swelling, and difficulty in cleaning, leading to cavities or gum disease. Ignoring these issues can result in more complicated and costly dental treatments in the future. Dr. Ghetiya carefully evaluates your wisdom teeth to determine if you need an extraction.
What happens during the wisdom
tooth removal procedure?
During the wisdom tooth removal procedure, Dr. Ghetiya begins by thoroughly numbing the area around your wisdom teeth using a local anesthetic to ensure you feel comfortable and pain-free. If necessary, sedation options are available to help you relax. Once the area is numb, Dr. Ghetiya will make a small incision in your gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone. If the tooth is impacted, it may be divided into smaller pieces for easier removal.
After removing the tooth, Dr. Ghetiya will clean the extraction site to remove any debris or infected tissue. He will then stitch the incision to promote healing and place gauze over the site to control bleeding. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including how to manage any discomfort and swelling and diet recommendations.
