Impacted/partially erupted lower and upper wisdom teeth (third molars) may sometimes result in tooth pain due to food impaction or gum inflammation in that region.

You may face several issues with malpositioned wisdom teeth, such as infection, pain and difficulty chewing. At Family Dental Centre Singapore, we provide Medisave claimable wisdom tooth removal surgery that is safe, quick, and affordable.

OPTIONS TO TAKE FOR WISDOM TOOTH SURGERY

Before wisdom tooth extraction, you will be anaesthetised in one of two ways:
LOCAL ANAESTHESIA for wisdom tooth extraction

1. Local Anaesthesia

Wisdom tooth extraction is done with you in a conscious state. Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the extraction site.
SEDATION for wisdom tooth surgery

2. Sedation

Wisdom tooth extraction is done using intravenous sedation to help you relax during the procedure.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION?

During wisdom tooth surgery, a small incision will be made to your gum to access your tooth.  Any bone covering the tooth may be removed accordingly. Your dentist in Singapore may cut the tooth into smaller parts and rock it to facilitate removal.

Your wisdom tooth surgery should not be painful as you will be anaesthetised before the procedure. However, it is common to experience discomfort at the extraction site after the anaesthetic has worn off. The pain typically lasts two to three days, but soreness and more complex cases or multiple extractions may require seven to 10 days.
The healing time for wisdom tooth surgery varies. Swelling often improves within two to three days, enabling you to resume your daily activities. If you experience jaw tightness or if your extraction procedure is complex and involves multiple teeth, seven to 10 days are required. You will typically recover from any mild bruising within two weeks.
