What Is a Wisdom Tooth?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 30.
Many people do not have enough space in the jaw for these teeth to erupt properly.
When a wisdom tooth gets:
- Stuck under the gum or bone
- Growing sideways
- Partially erupted
- Pressing against neighboring teeth
…it can create ongoing dental problems.
This condition is called an impacted wisdom tooth.
Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Surgery
You may require wisdom tooth removal if you experience:
✔ Pain at the back of the jaw
✔ Swelling around the wisdom tooth
✔ Difficulty opening the mouth
✔ Pain while chewing
✔ Repeated gum infection near the wisdom tooth
✔ Food getting stuck behind the last tooth
✔ Bad breath or unpleasant taste
✔ Swollen lymph nodes
✔ Headache or jaw discomfort
✔ Decay in the wisdom tooth
✔ Damage to the adjacent molar
✔ Cyst formation around the impacted tooth
Important: Some impacted wisdom teeth may not cause obvious symptoms initially but can silently damage nearby teeth.
Types of Wisdom Tooth Problems We Treat
Fully Impacted Wisdom Tooth
The tooth remains completely trapped inside the jaw bone.
Partially Impacted Wisdom Tooth
Part of the tooth erupts, creating a flap where food and bacteria collect.
Horizontal Wisdom Tooth
The tooth grows sideways and presses against neighboring teeth.
Mesioangular / Angular Impaction
One of the most common problematic positions.
Infected Wisdom Tooth (Pericoronitis)
Painful infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery Procedure
1. Clinical Examination
Detailed assessment of your symptoms, oral condition, and jaw.
2. Digital X-ray / CBCT Assessment
Depending on complexity, imaging helps assess:
- Tooth position
- Root shape
- Bone depth
- Proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve
- Surgical difficulty level
3. Local Anaesthesia
The area is completely numbed to ensure a comfortable procedure.
4. Surgical Removal
A small gum opening may be created.
For difficult impacted teeth, the tooth may be sectioned into smaller parts for safer removal.
5. Cleaning & Closure
The surgical site is cleaned thoroughly, and sutures may be placed if required.
Is Wisdom Tooth Surgery Painful?
Most patients are surprised that the procedure itself is not painful due to effective local anaesthesia.
After surgery, it is normal to experience:

- Limited mouth opening for a few days
These symptoms are usually manageable with prescribed medications and proper post-operative care.
