Who may need it
Swelling and limited mouth opening can last several days.
How treatment works
The tooth is numbed.
Things to consider
Healthy, cleanable, fully erupted teeth can be monitored.

What is Wisdom Tooth Treatment?
An OPG shows all wisdom teeth in one view. CBCT may be used when roots appear close to the inferior alveolar nerve or when 3D anatomy would change the surgical plan. Radiation is used only when the diagnostic benefit justifies it.

Recovery
Swelling and limited mouth opening can last several days. Soft foods, prescribed or advised medicines, and follow-up for dry socket or infection are part of aftercare.
Who may consider wisdom tooth treatment?
Pain at the back of the jaw
A dental consultation can help determine which options may be appropriate for your situation.
Swollen gum over a partly erupted tooth
A dental consultation can help determine which options may be appropriate for your situation.

OPG is a 2D panoramic view. CBCT is 3D and is used when extra detail would change surgery. Radiation is used only when the diagnostic benefit justifies it.

Soft diet, limited opening, possible bruising. Pain that suddenly worsens later may be dry socket.
When should wisdom teeth be removed? When there is infection, unrestorable decay, cysts, damage to the next tooth, or other pathology—not merely because they exist.
Do all wisdom teeth need CBCT? No. Many are planned with an OPG. CBCT is reserved for more complex anatomy.
Is wisdom tooth pain always a reason to extract? Not always. Muscle pain and ulcers can mimic it. An exam decides.
Your treatment journey
-
You describe what is bothering you and share medical and dental history. Questions come before any treatment is planned.
-
Teeth, gums and bite are examined in the chair so the concern is seen, not only described.
-
OPG is common. CBCT is used when roots appear close to the nerve or 3D anatomy would change the approach.
-
Options, likely visits, aftercare and alternatives are discussed so you can decide.
-
The tooth is numbed. Bone removal or sectioning may be needed for impactions.
-
Swelling and limited opening can last several days. Follow the written sheet you are given.
What happens during the procedure?
Assessment
Symptoms, eruption path and effect on neighbouring teeth are reviewed.
Imaging
An OPG is often enough. CBCT is used when roots appear close to a nerve or 3D anatomy would change the plan.
Procedure
Removal is done under local anaesthesia when it is advised. Not every wisdom tooth is taken out.
Recovery
Swelling and limited opening can last several days. Soft foods and follow-up for dry socket are discussed.
Review
Healing is checked. Unexpected pain, fever or spreading swelling should be reported.
Potential advantages and things to consider
Potential advantages
Stopping repeated pericoronitis
Removing a tooth you cannot clean can end a cycle of flap infections for many people.
Protecting the second molar
When a wisdom tooth is decaying the tooth in front, removal may be the more predictable path.
Things to consider
Not every wisdom tooth must come out at 18
Healthy, cleanable, fully erupted teeth can be monitored.
Nerve and sinus anatomy
Lower teeth near the inferior alveolar nerve and some upper teeth near the sinus need careful imaging.
Antibiotics alone
They do not remove an unrestorable or repeatedly infected tooth.
How technology supports treatment planning
The Dental Hut in Airoli has in-house CBCT and OPG. Imaging may assist evaluation when it is clinically required. It is not a scan for every patient.
Cone-beam CT creates a 3D volume of teeth and jaws. It may be used for implant channels, some impacted teeth and selected endodontic questions.
An OPG is a 2D panoramic X-ray of both jaws. It is often enough for a broad survey of teeth, wisdom teeth and jaw relationships.
A clinical examination of teeth, gums and bite remains the starting point. Imaging is added only when extra detail is likely to change the plan.
What happens after treatment?
Follow the instructions provided by your dentist.
Immediately after
Gauze, rest, no smoking. Do not pack the socket with unprescribed material.
First few days
Soft diet, limited opening, possible bruising. Pain that suddenly worsens later may be dry socket.
Ongoing care
Keep the area clean once you are allowed to rinse. Remaining wisdom teeth are still reviewed if they were left.
Follow-up
Stitches may dissolve or need removal—follow the instruction you were given.
When to contact your dentist
Consider getting in touch if you notice:
- Persistent or worsening pain
- Significant swelling
- Unexpected symptoms in the treated area
- A temporary restoration that comes off
- Bleeding that does not settle as advised
What can affect treatment cost?
Fees are quoted after examination.
- Treatment complexity
- Number of teeth involved
- Materials used
- Diagnostic requirements
- Additional procedures
- Individual treatment planning
