Wisdom teeth extraction might be required if your wisdom teeth induce pain, emerge improperly, or contribute to other oral health problems. In certain instances, dentists advise preventive removal of wisdom teeth before issues have a chance to develop.
Why is this done?
During a consultation with an oral surgeon, they’ll check the health of your wisdom teeth and take dental X-rays to determine their exact location.Your surgeon will also discuss sedation dentistry options with you during this appointment.
Wisdom teeth extraction may lead to mild discomfort, slight bleeding, and swelling. Your oral surgeon advises you on managing these postoperative effects. Once the sedation has worn off sufficiently, your friend or family member will be in charge of driving you home.

The extraction procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you don’t feel any pain. Although, the patient may feel some discomfort or swelling, which is managed with pain medications prescribed by your dentist. Following post-operative instructions, maintaining good oral hygiene, and attending follow-up appointments will help in a smoother recovery.
The recovery time is different for everyone, and it may take about a week to fully recover from wisdom tooth extraction. During this period, follow post-operative care instructions provided by your dentist, including eating soft foods, avoiding strenuous activities, and practising good oral hygiene. Proper care will promote healing and minimise the risk of complications.
Like any surgical procedure, wisdom tooth extraction carries some risks, although they are relatively rare. Potential complications may include:
Your dentist will discuss these risks before the procedure and take necessary precautions to minimise them.
The ideal time for wisdom tooth extraction varies for each individual. In some cases, early removal during the late teens or early twenties is recommended to prevent potential problems. However, in certain situations, your dentist may suggest monitoring them closely and considering extraction if problems arise.
Driving immediately after the procedure is generally not advised, especially if you have been given sedation or general anaesthesia. The effects of anaesthesia can impair your coordination and reaction time, making driving unsafe. It is best to arrange for someone to accompany you or use alternative transportation options to ensure your safety.
