Wisdom Tooth Surgery

Wisdom tooth surgery, also known as third molar extraction, is a common dental procedure performed to remove one or more impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. Dr. Minakshi specializes in wisdom tooth surgery, offering skilled and compassionate care to alleviate pain and prevent potential complications associated with impacted wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties, often cause issues due to their position at the back of the mouth and limited space for eruption. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various problems, including pain, infection, gum disease, and damage to neighboring teeth.

During a wisdom tooth surgery consultation, Dr. Minakshi evaluates the patient's oral health and recommends extraction if the wisdom teeth are causing discomfort or posing a risk to oral health. She utilizes advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays or CT scans, to assess the position of the wisdom teeth and plan the surgical procedure accordingly.

The wisdom tooth extraction procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure the patient's comfort. Dr. Minakshi carefully removes the impacted wisdom teeth through a small incision in the gum tissue and may need to section the teeth into smaller pieces for easier removal. She takes precautions to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues and promote optimal healing.

After the surgery, Dr. Minakshi provides detailed post-operative instructions to help patients manage any discomfort, swelling, or bleeding and facilitate a smooth recovery process. Patients are advised to follow a soft diet, avoid strenuous activities, and maintain proper oral hygiene to reduce the risk of complications and promote healing.

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to impacted wisdom teeth, schedule a consultation with Dr. Minakshi to discuss your treatment options. With her expertise in wisdom tooth surgery and dedication to patient care, Dr. Minakshi will ensure that you receive personalized treatment tailored to your needs, allowing you to enjoy improved oral health and overall well-being.
