Third molar(wisdom teeth)

What is Third Molar (Wisdom Teeth)?

The third molar, commonly known as the wisdom tooth, is the last set of molars located at the very back of the mouth. Typically, people have four wisdom teeth, one in each quadrant of the mouth, which emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood. Wisdom teeth often cause problems because they may not have enough space to fully emerge or align properly, leading to issues such as impaction, infection, or misalignment of adjacent teeth. This can result in pain, swelling, and other dental complications. In many cases, removal of wisdom teeth is recommended to prevent or address these issues.

How We Handle Third Molar Extraction at Our Clinic:

At our clinic, we handle third molar (wisdom tooth) extractions with a focus on patient comfort, safety, and precision. The process begins with a comprehensive examination, including digital X-rays, to assess the position of the wisdom teeth and identify any complications, such as impaction, infection, or crowding. If extraction is necessary, we explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have. On the day of the extraction, we ensure you are comfortable by using local anesthesia to numb the area. For more complex extractions or if you prefer, sedation options are available to help you relax. During the procedure, our experienced dental team carefully removes the third molar, using advanced tools and techniques to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. In cases of impacted teeth, we may need to make a small incision in the gum and remove the tooth in sections to ensure a smooth extraction. After the extraction, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including advice on managing swelling, pain, and preventing infection. We also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor healing and ensure you recover smoothly. Our clinic prioritizes patient care throughout the process, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for third molar extractions.
