Painful or impacted wisdom teeth? Wisdom tooth removal in Mohali at our clinic at SCO 139, First Floor, Medallion, Sector 68, Mohali is carried out by oral & maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Gourav Ahuja, with careful planning and comfortable treatment.
When Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
- The tooth is impacted (stuck under the gum or bone) and causing pain
- Repeated gum infection around a partly erupted tooth
- Decay in the wisdom tooth or the tooth next to it
- Damage to neighbouring teeth, or a cyst around the tooth
Wisdom teeth that are healthy and fully erupted often do not need removal.
How Wisdom Tooth Removal Is Done
- Assessment – an X-ray (OPG) or 3D scan shows the tooth’s position and nearby nerves.
- Numbing – local anaesthetic makes the area numb; you stay awake but comfortable.
- Removal – the tooth is removed, sometimes in sections, and the area is cleaned and stitched if needed.
- Aftercare – you receive written instructions and a follow-up appointment.
Recovery and Aftercare
Some swelling and discomfort for a few days is normal. Bite on the gauze as advised, use cold packs on the first day, eat soft foods and take medicines as prescribed. For the first 24–48 hours avoid smoking, spitting and drinking through a straw, which helps protect the healing socket.
