Overview

Overview

At Heritage Hospital, we understand that dental health is integral to overall health. Wisdom tooth extraction is essential when a tooth is compromised due to several factors, like extensive decay, trauma, or overcrowding. Wisdom teeth are the third molars and typically grow in the late teens and early twenties. However, these molars lack sufficient space to grow completely, leading to dental problems.

Dentists at Heritage Hospital provide the highest medical care standard in a comfortable and compassionate environment. Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the procedures required to remove one or more problematic molars to prevent further complications and ensure overall health.

Our state-of-the-art facilities and diagnostic facilities in our dental department assist qualified dental professionals in alleviating the discomfort or pain you are experiencing related to your wisdom teeth. With our integrated approach combining the highly-trained medical staff, advanced facilities, and qualified dentists, we aim to deliver holistic dental solutions to keep your oral health optimum.

When is Extraction of Impacted Tooth Under LA Required?

Dentists at Heritage Hospital recommend extracting the wisdom tooth at a young age before the root and bone are fully formed, and the recovery is quicker. It is to reduce the risk of problems because wisdom teeth can grow at various angles from the jaw, even horizontally. However, extraction of wisdom tooth procedure becomes a necessity if you are experiencing the following changes in the area of teeth:

  • Pain

  • Repeated infection of soft tissue behind the lower last tooth

  • Fluid-filled sacs (cysts)

  • Tumors

  • Damage to nearby teeth

  • Gum disease

  • Extensive tooth decay

How is the Extraction of Impacted Tooth Under LA Performed ?

Treatment Procedure

At Heritage Hospital, we follow a strategic approach to find a solution to alleviate the pain and a solution to the medical ailment. The decision to remove the wisdom tooth is the last step when other treatments do not work. Moreover, the treatment can be decided properly when our qualified dentist assesses your condition and evaluates the wisdom teeth.

Nonetheless, when extraction of the wisdom tooth is the last and possible option, here's how Heritage Hospital's dental professionals perform the procedure:

  • Consultation and Clinical examination
    When you schedule an appointment with our dentist and visit the clinic, our dentist will comprehensively evaluate your oral health, the wisdom tooth, and symptoms. After evaluation, the dentist will perform an x-ray of your mouth to determine whether wisdom tooth extraction is essential. Clinical examination and dental imaging (such as panoramic X-rays) are performed to assess the wisdom tooth's position, size, and orientation.

  • Anesthesia
    The dentist will begin the procedure by injecting local anesthesia around the wisdom tooth to numb the area. However, if you are anxious about tooth removal, keep your concerns in front of the dentist, and the dentist might give you a sedative to help you relax.

  • Incision and Tissue Displacement
    The dentist will make a small cut or incision in the gingival (gum) tissueto access the wisdom tooth if it hasn't already come out. A small piece of bone covering the teeth is also removed. The gum tissue is gently removed to expose the underlying bone and tooth. Now, the dentist will cut the tooth into smaller parts, so removing it from the opening becomes easier.

  • Extraction
    If the wisdom tooth is already coming through the gum, then there is less need to make an incision. You'll feel some pressure before the dentist removes the tooth as the dentist will try to widen the tooth socket by rocking it back and forth before pulling it out.
    Most times, you shouldn't feel pain during wisdom tooth extraction due to anesthesia; however, if you are feeling it, let the dentist know so they can provide some more anesthesia.

  • Closure
    After removing the wisdom teeth, the dentist will meticulously clean the extraction site, and the dissolvable stitches are used to close up the incision and ensure quick healing. It usually takes around 7-10 days for the stitches to dissolve.

  • Post-Operative Care
    The dentist will ask you to keep pressure on it by biting your jaws together for an hour to allow a blood clot to form around the tooth socket. The blood clot is a part of healing; the dentist will recommend not to dislodge it. The dentist will provide instructions to manage pain and swelling and prescribe some antibiotics to prevent infection.

Procedure

There are several instances where there is no need to get the extraction of wisdom teeth done, like when the wisdom teeth are healthy, fully grown, and not affecting the bite. However, sometimes, it becomes essential to undergo an extraction of wisdom tooth procedure because:

  • Damage to nearby teeth

  • Damage to the jaw

  • Sensitivity and pain

  • Sinus problems

  • Gum inflammation
