Welcome to Patna Dental Clinic
In Patna Dental Clinic the Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a branch that involves a number of surgical procedures, which include : -
Wisdom tooth is the last tooth in the arch and is also the last one to erupt. If they are aligned properly in the arch then they need not be removed. But if they grow sideways, or emerge partially or remain trapped inside the bone it is necessary to remove them. They may cause infection which would result in swelling and pain. They can also affect adjacent tooth. Not only this, they may also disturb the natural alignment of other teeth. Therefore, an early removal of wisdom tooth is recommended.
An X-ray is first needed to evaluate the position and depth of wisdom tooth. Then during the procedure, first, anaesthesia is given to numb the area. Tooth is removed. Sutures are then given. Medication is then recommended for few days.
