What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more third molars that are impacted, infected, damaged, or causing dental problems. Depending on the position of the tooth, the procedure may involve a simple extraction or a surgical removal through a small incision in the gum. Early removal of problematic wisdom teeth can help prevent future complications and preserve surrounding teeth and bone.
- Extraction of third molars that are impacted, infected, or decayed.
- Can involve simple extraction or surgical extraction under gum tissue.

When is Wisdom Tooth Removal Needed?
Your dentist or oral surgeon may recommend wisdom tooth extraction if you have:
- Pain at the back of the mouth
- Swollen or infected gums
- Recurrent wisdom tooth infection (Pericoronitis)

- Cyst formation around the wisdom tooth
- Damage to the adjacent tooth
- Crowding of teeth

Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
Before surgery, Dr. Nikhil Angre performs a detailed evaluation that may include:
- Clinical Oral Examination
- Digital Dental X-rays
- OPG (Orthopantomogram)
- CBCT Scan (for complex or high-risk cases)
These investigations help assess the position of the wisdom tooth, root anatomy, and proximity to important nerves and sinuses.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Procedure
Most wisdom tooth extractions are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience. For impacted teeth, a small incision may be made in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces for safe removal.
The procedure generally takes 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.
In selected patients with multiple impacted teeth, severe anxiety, or complex surgical needs, sedation or general anesthesia may be considered.
Recovery After Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Recovery is usually straightforward. Patients may experience mild pain or discomfort, swelling for 2–3 days, temporary difficulty opening the mouth, and minor bleeding during the first 24 hours.
Most patients return to normal daily activities within 2–3 days, while complete healing of the extraction site occurs over several weeks.
Following post-operative instructions, maintaining oral hygiene, and attending follow-up appointments help ensure smooth healing.
