Your Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure
Numbing the Area
Local anaesthetic is used to keep the procedure comfortable.
Incision, if Needed
A small incision is made if the tooth is impacted.
Removing the Tooth
Special tools gently remove the tooth, sometimes in sections if needed.
Closing the Site
Stitches close the incision, and gauze is placed to control any bleeding.
What Wisdom Tooth Extraction Costs
Pricing ranges from around Rs. 600 to Rs. 10,500 per tooth, simple extractions typically cost around Rs. 600 to Rs. 2,000, while surgical extractions for impacted teeth range from around Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 10,500. Your dentist will confirm the exact cost for your case at your consultation.
Recovering After Your Extraction
Bite down on gauze for at least an hour after your procedure, and expect some bleeding for twelve to twenty-four hours. Use an ice pack for fifteen minutes on and off for the first two to three hours to reduce swelling, and avoid smoking, straws, and carbonated drinks for at least three days. Stick to a soft diet for the first few days, avoid strenuous activity for twenty-four hours, and you can resume gentle oral hygiene after that first day.
Why Not Every Wisdom Tooth Needs to Come Out
Not all wisdom teeth cause problems, some come through fully and sit comfortably alongside your other teeth, needing nothing more than routine care. Extraction is recommended specifically when a wisdom tooth is impacted, misaligned, decayed, or otherwise causing pain or risk to neighbouring teeth, your dentist will only recommend removal where it is genuinely needed.
