When to consider it
- Pain behind the last tooth
- Swelling, food trapping or repeated infection
- A wisdom tooth growing at an angle
- Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening the mouth
How the care journey works
Examination
The doctor checks tooth position, pain, swelling and mouth opening.
X-ray review
An X-ray helps understand root position and surgical difficulty.
Removal
The tooth is removed with a comfort-focused anaesthesia plan.
Recovery
You receive instructions for food, medicines, brushing and follow-up.
Common questions
Do all wisdom teeth need removal?
No. Wisdom teeth are removed when they are painful, infected, decayed, damaging nearby teeth or impacted in a way that may cause problems.
How many days is recovery?
Most patients need a few days for swelling and soreness to settle, but recovery depends on tooth position and surgical difficulty.
Can I work after removal?
For simple removals you may return sooner, but impacted or surgical cases may need rest. The doctor will guide you based on your case.
