Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come into the mouth (erupt). Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom.
Impacted
wisdom teeth can result in pain, damage to other teeth and other dental problems.
In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no apparent or immediate
problems. But because they're hard to clean, they may be more vulnerable to
tooth decay and gum disease than other teeth are.

Clinic - Dubai is fully equipped to handle the most advanced
wisdom tooth extractions and related surgeries. Our expert dentists, with their
skillful and gentle approach, can administer dental extraction procedures with

Frequently
asked questions on dental extractions:
Are dental extractions painful?
Generally,
the area is numbed with a local anesthetic while our experienced dentists
ensure that you are not in any sort of pain before proceeding with the
procedure. The pain may start as soon as the anesthetic wears out, which is
usually after 2 hours. That’s why our dentists may prescribe painkillers before
the anesthetic wears out to help control the pain.
How long is the procedure?
The
procedure depends on the complexity of the case. However, most cases are
completed in less than 1 hour.
Will I be able to work after the procedure?
It’s best
to keep yourself free so that you can head home and relax for rest of the day.
You may go to work the next day, if you are feeling comfortable. However, make
sure to take it easy and avoid exerting yourself.
What to expect after wisdom tooth removal?
You may
experience mild to moderate discomfort, bleeding and swelling in the areas
where your wisdom tooth was removed. It is common for some mild to moderate
pain and swelling to persist for a few days after your surgery. But worry not –
your dentist will prescribe you analgesics (pain medications) to help relieve
discomfort for a more comfortable recovery.
To speed
up the healing , follow these tips after your wisdom tooth
removal:
1. Change your gauze pads as needed and remove gauze pads from your
mouth once all bleeding has stopped. (After 30 mins)
2. Try to prop your head up with a few pillows when resting, so that
you are not lying down flat
3. Apply a soft cold compress or ice pack to the outside of your
cheek to help decrease the swelling
4. Try to get as much rest as possible for the first 24 hours
5. Avoid smoking and drinking through straws for at least 48 hours.
This can loosen blood clots that have formed where your wisdom teeth have been
removed and delay the healing process
6. Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours as it can irritate
the surgical sites
7. Stick to ingesting only soft foods and liquids for the first few
days. You may consume soup broths, puddings, Jell-O, scrambled eggs, finely
mashed potatoes, milkshakes and applesauce. As your mouth begins to heal,
slowly add solid foods to your diet
8. Avoid rinsing your mouth for the first 24 hours. Only after the
first day, begin rinsing your mouth gently with a warm salt water solution
about every 3-4 hours (especially after meals) to help alleviate any pain or
swelling and to keep the surgical sites clean
9. Keep your tongue and fingers away from touching the areas where
your wisdom tooth was removed
10. Continue to brush your teeth twice per day but do so very
carefully and gently
11. Call your dentist immediately if you experience unusual symptoms
such as severe pain, vomiting and/or persistent bleeding 24 hours after your
extraction
