Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Dubai

What is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure used to remove one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, located at the back of your mouth. These teeth normally appear between the ages of 17 and 25, but they often don’t have enough space to grow in properly. When wisdom teeth become impacted, misaligned, or partially emerge, they may cause pain, infections, swelling, or even damage to nearby teeth. If left untreated, these issues may worsen over time. To prevent complications and maintain optimal oral health, a dentist may recommend wisdom tooth removal. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and helps relieve discomfort while reducing the chances of future dental issues.

Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth removal provides several important benefits that help maintain oral health and prevent future dental complications. Whether performed proactively or to address existing issues, this procedure can improve comfort and protect your smile.
Key benefits include:

• Maintains proper teeth alignment and prevents overcrowding: Removing wisdom teeth creates space in the mouth, helping to keep other teeth properly aligned and reducing the risk of crowding.
• Reduces the risk of gum infection and inflammation: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria and food, leading to gum inflammation, infections, and tooth decay. Wisdom extraction lowers these risks.
• Relieves pain and discomfort: The procedure relieves swelling and pressure caused by impacted or crooked teeth, improving overall comfort.
• Protects adjacent teeth from damage: Extraction prevents damage to nearby molars caused by pressure or decay from problematic wisdom teeth.
• Revents cysts and tumors: Impacted teeth may sometimes cause cysts or tumors that damage the jawbone or surrounding teeth. Removal helps avoid these complications.
• Enhances oral hygiene: Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean properly due to their position. Extraction makes brushing and flossing easier, promoting better oral hygiene.
• Protects existing dental work: Extraction can prevent shifting or damage to dental work such as implants, or bridges caused by wisdom teeth crowding.
• Reduces the risk of infection spreading: Infected wisdom teeth can cause infections that may spread to other areas. Early removal helps prevent this.
• Enhances bite function and comfort: Removing problematic wisdom teeth can improve how teeth come together, leading to enhanced bite function and less discomfort during chewing.

When Should You Consider Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is an important decision that should be based on a thorough assessment of your oral health. While some people never experience problems with their wisdom teeth, others may require removal to prevent or address various complications. Consider wisdom teeth removal if you are experiencing any of the following:
Persistent pain or swelling: Pain in the back of the mouth or swelling around the gums can indicate impacted or infected wisdom teeth that need attention.

Recurring infections or gum disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, causing recurring infections or gum inflammation (pericoronitis).

Damage to adjacent teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can place pressure on neighboring molars, leading to tooth decay, root damage, or misalignment.

Tumor or cyst formation: In rare cases, tumors or cysts can develop around impacted wisdom teeth, damaging the jawbone and surrounding tissues.

Difficulty chewing or jaw stiffness: Swelling and pain of the wisdom teeth can cause discomfort when chewing, jaw stiffness, or limited mouth opening.

Orthodontic complications: Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding or shift previously straightened teeth, undermining orthodontic treatment results.

Preventive reasons: Even if your wisdom teeth are pain free, your dentist may recommend removal to prevent future complications, especially if X-rays show signs of impaction or abnormal growth.

A comprehensive dental checkup, including panoramic X-rays, is essential to evaluate the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. This evaluation helps determine if and when your wisdom teeth pulled is necessary to safeguard your oral health and avoid more complex procedures later.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure?

The journey to wisdom teeth removal starts with an in -depth consultation at The clinic Skin111. During this initial visit, patients receive a free consultation and a CBCT scan. This enables our dental specialists to carefully assess the position, development, and any potential complications of the wisdom teeth, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.

Step 1: Comprehensive examination & imaging: In the consultation, the dentist conducts a clinical examination and reviews advanced imaging such as panoramic X-rays or CBCT scans. This helps detect impacted teeth, nearby nerves, root structure and any associated cysts or infections.

Step 2: Anaesthesia: Before the procedure, local anaesthesia is administered to numb the area and guarantee a painless experience.

Step 3: Extraction procedure: With the area fully numbed, the dentist makes a small incision in the gum to access the wisdom tooth. Impacted or difficult teeth may be sectioned into smaller pieces to allow for safe and effective removal while minimizing trauma.

Step 4: Stitches and post-extraction care: If necessary, dissolvable stitches are placed to close the site and promote healing. Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to manage pain, swelling, and ensure a smooth recovery.

At The clinic skin111, our experienced team guides you through every step, from the initial consultation to post-procedure care, making wisdom teeth removal a comfortable and efficient experience.

Aftercare Tips for a Smooth Recovery

Proper care after wisdom teeth removal is essential to promote healing, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications. Follow these important aftercare tips to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery:

• Apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time during the first 24 hours to minimize swelling and discomfort.
• Take prescribed pain medications exactly as instructed by your dentist to manage any discomfort effectively.
• Eat soft foods such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soups, and avoid hard chewing for several days to protect the extraction site.
• Rinse gently with warm saltwater starting 24 hours after wisdom extraction to keep the area clean and promote healing, avoid aggressive rinsing.
• Avoid smoking and using straws, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot and lead to a painful condition called dry socket.

The recovery is typically within 7 to 10 days, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a few days.
