Wisdom tooth extraction is a standard procedure that involves removing one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, from the back of the mouth. These teeth typically emerge in the late teenage years or early adulthood and can cause various problems if they are not properly aligned or lack sufficient space to come in correctly. When wisdom teeth are impacted, meaning they are stuck in the jawbone or gum tissue, they can lead to pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth can cause crowding and misalignment, affecting the overall health and appearance of your smile.
At Dr. Salim Kapadia Dental Centre, we have extensive experience in wisdom tooth extraction and take a careful, thorough approach to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients. Our dentists utilize advanced technology and techniques to minimize discomfort and promote a quick recovery. While wisdom tooth and adult tooth extractions typically require general anesthesia to numb the entire body and put the patient to sleep, our dental surgeons, with over 14 years of experience, perform these surgeries using local anesthesia. This method is more affordable and often just as effective, providing a painless experience for our patients, many of whom do not feel the need for general anesthesia.
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your wisdom teeth or have been advised to have them removed by a dentist or family doctor, we encourage you to contact Dr. Salim Kapadia Dental Centre to learn more about your options. Our team is happy to answer any questions and help you make an informed decision about your oral health. Early treatment of wisdom teeth problems can prevent more serious issues from developing, so don’t hesitate to reach out for professional advice and care.
