What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
- Wisdom tooth removal is a procedure in which one or more wisdom teeth are surgically removed. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically erupt between the ages of 17 to 25.
- In many individuals, these teeth may not have sufficient space to emerge properly, leading to issues such as impaction (being trapped in the gums or jawbone), crowding, infection, or gum disease.
- The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case. Recovery generally takes about 1–2 weeks, during which patients may experience mild swelling, discomfort, or temporary dietary restrictions.
- Wisdom tooth removal is often recommended to prevent pain, recurrent infections, and long-term complications affecting surrounding teeth and oral health.
When Do You Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
You may need a wisdom tooth extraction when the teeth at the back don’t have enough space to grow properly. This can lead to problems like:
- Pain or swelling in the gums or jaw. When wisdom teeth erupt without enough space, they may push against other teeth or become partially trapped under the gum. This pressure and misalignment often lead to pain, swelling, or stiffness in the jaw. Sometimes, the swelling can spread to surrounding tissues, making it difficult to chew, speak, or even open the mouth comfortably.
- Infection around the tooth. Partially erupted wisdom teeth create a flap of gum tissue where bacteria and food particles can easily get trapped. This can cause infections such as pericoronitis, a painful gum inflammation. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the jaw, throat, or nearby lymph nodes, leading to fever and more serious complications.
- Wisdom teeth are located at the back of the mouth, making them harder to clean properly with brushing and flossing. Food particles often get stuck in small spaces around these teeth, promoting bacterial growth. This not only causes persistent bad breath (halitosis) but can also contribute to cavities and gum disease in that area.
- Crooked or crowded teeth, when there isn’t enough room in the jaw, an erupting wisdom tooth can exert pressure on adjacent teeth. Over time, this pressure may cause the surrounding teeth to shift, become crooked, or become overcrowded. For people who have had orthodontic treatment, this movement can undo years of dental alignment work.
- An impacted wisdom tooth is one that does not erupt fully into the mouth because it is blocked by other teeth, bone, or gum tissue. Impacted teeth can grow at odd angles, sometimes sideways, causing severe pain, infections, cysts, or even damage to the roots of nearby teeth. In many cases, dentists recommend early removal to prevent long-term issues.
What To Expect At Gargs Dentario For Wisdom Tooth Removal In Gurgaon?
If you’re feeling nervous about getting your wisdom tooth removed, knowing the step-by-step process can make you feel more at ease and confident about the procedure.
01
Numbing the area: Local anaesthesia is injected near the tooth and surrounding gum tissue. Its purpose is to block pain signals, so you won’t feel sharp pain during the procedure, you might only feel sensations like pressure, tugging, or slight movement. If you are anxious, your dentist may also offer sedation options to help you stay relaxed.
02
Loosening the tooth: If the tooth is visible, the dentist gently moves it back and forth to loosen it. This movement gradually stretches and widens the socket (the bone around the tooth root), loosening the ligaments that hold the tooth in place. This step makes it easier to remove the tooth without unnecessary force.
03
Surgical step (if needed): For teeth that are impacted (stuck under the gums or bone) or broken, a simple loosening may not be enough. In this case, the dentist may make a small incision in the gum to expose the tooth. Remove a tiny amount of bone around the tooth if necessary. Sometimes, the tooth is divided into smaller pieces to make the extraction safer and easier.
04
Stitches & healing: After the tooth is removed, the dentist examines the socket. If an incision was made or if the opening is large, dissolvable stitches may be placed to close the gums and promote faster healing. The healing process typically takes about 1–2 weeks, though the gums and bone will continue to remodel over several months.

Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure might not be painful due to anesthesia, but later, mild pain, swelling, or soreness may occur for a few days. But prescribed painkillers, ice packs, and soft foods help, and most people recover within a week.
Recovery usually takes about 3–5 days for most people, during which any swelling or soreness gradually improves. By the end of a week, you can typically return to normal routines, though complete healing of the gums and jawbone may take up to 2 weeks. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions like eating soft foods, avoiding smoking, and keeping the area clean helps speed up healing.
There is no strict age limit for wisdom tooth removal. However, dentists usually recommend removing them in the late teens or early twenties, as the roots are not fully developed and healing is faster. Even adults in their 30s, 40s, or beyond can safely undergo the procedure if needed; it just may take slightly longer to recover.
