Wisdom Teeth Removal in Sharjah: Painless & Risk-Free Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth (third molars) are teeth that tend to emerge between ages 17 and 25. Sometimes, wisdom teeth become impacted because they don’t have enough room to develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain and negatively affect other teeth, but that isn’t always the case because some wisdom teeth develop without any issues.

• The Importance of Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Most people undergo wisdom teeth removal for one of the following reasons:

• Impacted wisdom teeth can become trapped in the jawbone or gums, causing immense pain

• If wisdom teeth develop at a wrong angle, they can put pressure on your other teeth

• There might not be enough room in a person’s jaw for an extra set of molars if their mouth 

• Wisdom teeth are hard to reach, which makes them hard to clean correctly, resulting in tooth decay and gum disease

• Frequent or severe gum infections

• The orthodontist may need to make room for other teeth

• The Steps of Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery

Most upper wisdom teeth can be removed easily with the help of a local anesthetic, whereas lower wisdom teeth are more difficult to extract.

• Before surgery:

You will meet with an oral surgeon at our medical center in Sharjah to discuss the operation before surgery. Make sure you use this opportunity to:

• Talk about any health problems you have

• Make a list of any medications you take regularly

• Ask any questions you have about the surgery

• Discuss the type of anesthesia you will receive

• During surgery:

You’ll be given one of the following types of anesthesia to make your wisdom teeth extraction easy and pain-free:

• Topical anesthesia:

Your oral surgeon will numb your mouth with a dose of a local anesthetic, so you should feel alert again shortly after the operation.

• Intravenous anesthesia:

Your oral surgeon will numb your mouth and give you medications through a vein in your arm to make you sleep throughout the operation. Intravenous sedation is done exclusively in a hospital.

• General anesthesia:

You will either be given an anesthetic intravenously or inhale gas through a mask to make you sleep throughout the operation. General anesthesia cannot be done at our dental clinic in Sharjah because it can only be done in a hospital.

• After surgery:

Following your dentist’s advice is crucial to speed up your post-op recovery. We recommend the following tips for your first few days after surgery:

• Use an ice pack on your face to reduce swelling

• Open and close your mouth gently to exercise your jaw

• Eat soft foods like pasta, rice, or soup

• Drink plenty of fluids

• Resume brushing your teeth on the second day after the operation

• Take the medicines prescribed by your doctor to reduce pain or swelling
• Immediately call your doctor if you have a fever or if your pain and swelling don’t improve

• Don’t drink through a straw because sucking may break up the blood clots that help your mouth heal

• Gently gargle with salt water

• Do not eat hard, crunchy or sticky foods that may open up your wounds

• Don’t smoke because smoking can slow down the recovery process
