Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Due to limited space in the jaw, they often grow at an angle or remain impacted, causing pain, infection, and potential damage to adjacent teeth. Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure to prevent these issues and maintain oral health. Our clinic offers safe and comfortable removal of wisdom teeth, ensuring a smooth recovery process.

Not always. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, properly aligned, and causing no issues, they may not need to be removed. However, if one or more wisdom teeth are problematic, your dentist may recommend removing them to prevent future complications.
Recovery typically takes about 3-7 days, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Swelling and discomfort may last a few days, but most people can return to their normal activities within a week. Following your dentist's aftercare instructions can help speed up the healing process.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, soup, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or chewy foods that could irritate the extraction site. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as you heal.
A dry socket occurs when the blood clot protecting the extraction site becomes dislodged, exposing the bone and nerves. To prevent dry sockets, avoid drinking through straws, smoking, vigorous rinsing, or spitting for the first few days after the extraction. Following your aftercare instructions carefully will reduce the risk of complications.
