Wisdom tooth eruption is sometimes very painful. Since it is the last tooth of the arch, sometimes it doesn’t have enough space for its eruption. In such cases, the eruption push tends to cause pain in that region. We call it an impacted tooth. Sometimes it also affects the adjacent tooth by pushing them and creating pockets in between which in turn causes infection and decay of the adjacent tooth. In those cases, it is very important to get rid of the wisdom tooth otherwise it will damage the adjacent tooth as well. At times, even some orthodontic treatments require wisdom tooth removal.

Wisdom tooth removal is a minor surgical procedure and is mostly performed under Local Anesthesia. Sometimes, the dental surgeon prefers a general anesthesia also, if needed.

At first a detailed clinical examination is done and then X-rays are taken to ensure if an extraction is necessary. Then the anaesthetic agent is given so that the area becomes numb so as to have a painless procedure. The tooth is then skilfully removed by the dental surgeon. Sometimes, a difficult tooth needs a small surgical procedure for removal. Post-operative instructions and medication are given to the patient We, at D-Care RCT Centre, maintain a proper sterilised environment in order to avoid any kind of post-operative complications.
