What is Wisdom Tooth?
The wisdom tooth is the last tooth of the teeth. The third molars are the more accurate name for these teeth. They grow very late, at the age of 20-25, and as a result, the growth can negatively affect the entire chin. And that is why Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah is one of the most popular methods in dentistry.
Why is the Treatment Required?
The approach to removing the upper and lower jaw is different. The complexity of tooth extraction is also affected by its position. Usually, removing the upper wisdom tooth is more straightforward than removing the lower one. This is primarily because the lower teeth often have large and curved roots that prevent them from being extracted from the oral cavity. In addition, the bone tissue in the lower jaw is much denser than the tissue in the upper jaw.
Results of Wisdom Tooth Extraction:
The extraction of wisdom tooth will eliminate pain, discomfort, and bad breath. There will be no overcrowding or damage to the neighbouring teeth in future. Thus, the results of the treatment are permanent.
Who are the Perfect Candidates for the Treatment?
A wisdom tooth is removed if it causes:
- Crowding.
- Disease in the gum.
- Any discomfort or problems.
- Pain and inflammation of the gums.
- Hurts the cheek or tongue.
- Interferes with other Teeth Filling.
Are Wisdom Teeth Treated or Removed?
Like any other teeth, wisdom teeth must be treated before removing them. These teeth are uncomfortable where a toothbrush can hardly reach them, and they are more susceptible to cavities and decay and decompose faster.
However, they are more often removed than treated. They cut through too late, and there isn’t enough space for them in the jaw, and they adversely impact the neighbouring teeth and the jaw.
The Procedure of Removal:
The procedure of Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Dubai & Abu Dhabi can be different depending on whether the tooth has erupted or not, which will make the surgery complex or straightforward. The process to perform a simple extraction follows the following steps:
Step 1: Diagnostics: The process begins with an x-ray. The doctor must see how the tooth is located and what kind of roots it has—the choice of removal tactics based on the case’s complexity.
Step 2: Preparation: Before proceeding with the removal, it is imperative to give anaesthesia. It involves injecting into the tissues surrounding the tooth using a special syringe.
Step 3: Operation: It is not always easy to remove these teeth. The teeth are located last in a row, so access to them is difficult. To increase the complexity, the presence of a mucous membrane between the tooth and the gum, in the form of a hood can.
Step 4: After Removal: By removing a restless tooth, the candidate will get rid of pain, and discomfort, bad breath disappears, and damage to neighbouring teeth. Not only this, it avoids displacement of the dentition injuries of the tongue and buccal mucosa.
Removal of an Impacted Tooth:
An impacted tooth is a tooth that has not erupted and is located under the mucous membrane or in the jawbone. This makes it difficult to access and remove, resulting in a complex operation.
It is challenging to remove if it has not cut through the gum. The first task of the doctor, in this case, is to provide access to it. The surgeon makes an incision with a scalpel in the tooth area. Then the tooth is divided into parts and removed using special tools. Then the hole is cleaned of small fragments, the root or remains are removed.
A blood clot fills the socket, and the healing process begins. If necessary, absorbable sutures are applied. This prevents food from entering the wound and stops bleeding. It also promotes faster wound healing.

Once the anesthetic wears off, swelling and tenderness may persist for a couple of days. You might be prescribed OTC painkillers and antibiotics to ease the discomfort.
Can I Eat After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Try to avoid eating foods that are difficult to chew or are sticky. Try chewing from the other side of your mouth for the first couple of weeks to allow the gum tissue to heal completely. Avoid hot beverages so as not to damage the clots and use a liquid diet for the first 24 hours after extraction.
