Wisdom teeth are the last molars to appear, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. When there is not enough space, they can grow at an angle, stay partly under the gum or become impacted, which can cause pain, swelling and infection.

At Dr Rai’s Dental Avenue in Majiwada, Thane West, we examine the tooth with an OPG X-ray and explain whether it needs to come out. Extraction is done under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area.

Not every wisdom tooth needs removal. A short consultation tells you if yours can be left alone and monitored or if extraction is advisable.

Wisdom Tooth Removal FAQs

When should a wisdom tooth be removed?

A wisdom tooth should be removed if it is impacted, repeatedly infected, painful, decaying or damaging the tooth next to it. Your dentist confirms this after an examination and X-ray.

Is wisdom tooth removal painful?

The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, and you may feel pressure during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and is managed with prescribed medicines.

How long does wisdom tooth extraction take?

A simple extraction often takes 20 to 30 minutes, while a surgical extraction of an impacted tooth can take longer. The time depends on the position of the tooth.

How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth removal?

Most people feel better within 3 to 7 days. Swelling is usually worst on the second or third day and then settles. Read the NHS advice on wisdom tooth removal recovery.

What can I eat after wisdom tooth removal?

Stick to soft, cool foods such as curd, soup and mashed vegetables for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy and hard food, and do not use a straw for the first 24 hours.

What is dry socket?

Dry socket happens when the blood clot in the empty socket is lost, causing a severe, throbbing pain a few days after extraction. Avoiding smoking, straws and vigorous rinsing lowers the risk. Contact your dentist if you suspect it.

Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at once?

Often yes, but it depends on their position and your health. Your dentist may remove them together or in two visits. The plan is explained after your X-ray.

Do I need to remove a wisdom tooth that does not hurt?

Not always. A healthy wisdom tooth that is fully erupted and easy to clean can often stay. Teeth that are impacted or hard to clean may be removed to prevent problems later. Regular checkups help monitor them.

How much does wisdom tooth extraction cost in Thane?

The cost depends on whether the extraction is simple or surgical, the position of the tooth and the number of teeth. After an examination and X-ray, we share a clear estimate for your case.

When should I call my dentist after extraction?

Call if you have heavy bleeding that does not stop, a fever, swelling that increases after the third day, severe pain that gets worse or a bad taste or discharge from the area.
