• Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to erupt in the oral cavity.
• They usually erupt between 17-25 years, however they can erupt even after 25 years.
• Since this is the last tooth to erupt, usually there is no enough space in the mouth for this tooth to erupt.
• So most of the time this tooth remains impacted and gives pain.
• When there is pain or infection it is better to removal the wisdom tooth.

When to remove the wisdom tooth?

• When there is severe pain near the wisdom tooth region, associated with head aches and ear pain.
• Presence of an extra oral swelling.
• Reduced mouth opening.
• Presence of infection and inflammation around the wisdom tooth.
• Decayed tooth, causing damage to the next healthy tooth.

Can wisdom tooth be removed without pain?

• Yes, wisdom tooth can be removed without pain.
• Many of us are worried about the pain during injection than the actual tooth removal, this is because most us have the phobia for injections.
• Here at our clinic, we make sure that the entire procedure starting from anesthesia to tooth removal is completely painless.
• We at best laser dental clinic, deliver the anesthesia using painless injection technique which is called the STA system.
• Single tooth anesthesia(STA) system is a computer controlled local anesthetic delivery system.
• It uses dynamic pressure sensing(DPS) technology.
• Here at our clinic, Surgical tooth removal(impaction) is done using Piezo(electric device), which requires less or no removal of bone and the gums covering the tooth.
• Hence the post operative bleeding, pain and swelling is greatly reduced.
