A wisdom tooth that hurts, swells or keeps getting infected needs a proper look. Dr. Athhar Maswood K and the team at Pristine Dental Clinic examine it, explain whether it needs to come out, and tell you the plan and the cost first.
The exact plan, number of visits and cost are explained after your examination.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. Many people do not have enough room for them, so they may come in at an angle or stay partly under the gum.
A wisdom tooth that is stuck or partly covered can trap food, cause infection, and press on the tooth beside it. Removing it is a common procedure, done with local anaesthesia so the area is numb.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. At Pristine Dental Clinic in HSR Layout, Dr. Athhar checks it with an X-ray, and advises removal only when it is needed.
Only an examination and an X-ray can confirm whether a wisdom tooth needs to come out.
These signs do not always mean the tooth must be removed, but they are a reason to have it checked.
A dull or sharp ache near the last tooth, which comes and goes.
A gum flap over a partly covered tooth can swell and get infected.
Pain or stiffness in the jaw can come from an infected wisdom tooth.
Food trapped around the tooth can cause both.
A tilted wisdom tooth can press on the tooth in front of it.
The same area gets swollen or painful again and again.
If you have swelling, fever or severe pain, call the clinic first on 090193 67756.
How long it takes depends on the position of the tooth. Dr. Athhar will explain after the X-ray.

Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. Before any tooth extraction, the dentist in HSR Layout checks the tooth and takes an X-ray to see how it sits, whether it has room, and how close it is to the tooth beside it.
If it does need to come out, you hear the plan, the number of visits and the cost first. Afterwards, follow the care advice you are given, keep the area clean with gentle oral hygiene, and come back for the follow-up check. Call the clinic if pain or swelling gets worse instead of better.
