Frequently Asked Questions

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge at the back of the mouth during the late teens or early twenties.

Wisdom teeth are commonly extracted due to issues like impaction, crowding, infection, decay, cysts, or gum problems caused by their improper eruption.

A dental examination, including X-rays, can determine if your wisdom teeth need to be extracted. Common signs include pain, swelling, gum infection, restricted mouth opening and difficulty in brushing.

No, not everyone requires wisdom tooth extraction. It depends on the specific circumstances and potential problems associated with their eruption.

In many cases, general dentists can perform straightforward wisdom tooth extractions. However, complex cases may be referred to oral surgeons.

Recovery time varies for each individual, but generally, it takes about a week or two to fully recover from wisdom tooth extraction.

Complications may include dry socket, infection, bleeding and nerve damage. However, these complications are relatively rare.

A dry socket occurs when the blood clot that forms after extraction dissolves or dislodges. To prevent it, avoid smoking, follow post-operative instructions, take medications on time and maintain good oral hygiene.

Yes, all four wisdom teeth can be removed at once, given the medical history of the patient permits the same. It is common to remove all four wisdom teeth during the same surgical appointment to minimise the number of surgeries and recovery periods.

Your dentist or oral surgeon may offer various sedation options, including local anaesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or general anaesthesia.

In some cases, if the wisdom teeth are healthy, properly aligned, and do not cause any issues, they may not need to be extracted. Regular monitoring and proper oral hygiene are essential in such cases.

Wisdom tooth extraction typically does not have a significant impact on facial appearance, particularly if the teeth have not erupted fully or are impacted.

Wisdom tooth extraction alone does not necessitate braces. However, if the removal is performed as part of orthodontic treatment, braces may still be required to align the remaining teeth properly.

Even if they are not currently causing pain, wisdom teeth can still pose a risk for future complications. Dentists often recommend extraction as a preventive measure to avoid potential problems down the line.

It's important to maintain good oral hygiene after the extraction, but you should avoid brushing the extraction sites for the first 24 hours.
