Emergency Dentists in Malvern

Wisdom teeth removal is performed by a dental surgeon under anaesthesia. An incision is made on the gum tissue to access your wisdom teeth. In some cases, the wisdom teeth has to be removed in sections. The incisions are closed with stitches after the teeth removal. The recovery process can take anywhere between a few days to a week. You must take the prescribed medicines and eat soft food during the healing period.

Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

If left untreated, the wisdom tooth can often become a major dental problem for a patient. Here are a few benefits of the wisdom tooth removal procedure with Capital Dental Care:

  • Gum diseases: An impacted wisdom tooth often irritates and causes inflammation to the gum. You are less likely to develop gum disease after the removal.
  • Lower risk of cavities: Wisdom tooth grows in a confined space and is difficult to clean. This can eventually lead to a build-up of plaque and tartar that can cause cavities.
  • Avoid pain: Impacted wisdom tooth can give you excruciating pain. This happens when it pushes against the adjacent teeth damaging their roots and causing pain.
  • Less damage to other teeth: If the wisdom tooth is not removed, it may crowd the other teeth and misalign them. This can lead to several problems such as gum disease, tooth decay and more.
  • Perfect smile: Your teeth can become crooked or misaligned due to an impacted wisdom tooth. However, you can maintain a healthy and beautiful smile by getting the wisdom tooth removed.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

This is a common dental procedure performed as a preventive measure to safeguard your oral health. You can return to your daily routine within a few days of the procedure. Here is a brief information about the process:

  • Examination The process takes place over two visits to our clinic. During the initial consultation, an oral examination will be done along with an X-ray to determine the best possible solution. A customised plan will be developed based on the position of your wisdom teeth, whether it is impacted or not.
  • Surgery A second appointment will be scheduled to remove your impacted teeth. The procedure will be performed under anaesthesia to ensure that you do not go through any discomfort during the surgery.
  • Recovery We recommend you bring someone to drive you back home after the procedure. You will be given thorough instructions about the aftercare. You may experience swelling and mild pain, which can be controlled with medication.

We suggest that you avoid strenuous activities and take rest for the first 24 hours post the procedure.
