Wisdom Tooth Removal
Dental
Wisdom tooth removal extracts third molars that are impacted, decayed or causing pain. Simple extractions take minutes; impacted teeth need minor surgery under local anaesthetic. Expect 3–7 days of swelling.
Before surgery
An X-ray (often a panoramic film) shows the tooth position and nearby nerve. Oral surgeons handle complex cases.
Aftercare
Bite on gauze, avoid smoking and straws for a few days, eat soft food, and keep the area clean to avoid dry socket.
Frequently asked questions
Do all wisdom teeth need removing?
No. Healthy, fully erupted wisdom teeth that you can clean can often stay.
