What Is Wisdom Tooth Surgery?
A wisdom tooth surgery is a procedure whereby the dentist performs a minor but delicate surgical procedure to safely remove a wisdom tooth that has not erupted as desired. Wisdom tooth surgeries are usually done under local anaesthesia. However, there is a small percentage of patients who are sensitive to pain and are anxious about the procedure, these patients have the option of having the removal done under intra-venous sedation. The intra-venous sedation, is done by a qualified specialist to help patients sleep comfortably throughout the procedure. Research has shown that wisdom tooth surgery is a very safe and straight-forward procedure.
With proper examination and x-rays analysis, dentists will be able to predictably and safely perform wisdom tooth surgical procedures. The x-rays helps the dentist to plan for a successful surgery and to note on details like the positioning of your wisdom tooth and how close the root is growing to the nerve that runs in the lower jaw. This is important as the compression of the nerve will cause the patient to experience some numbness to the lower lip.
There are some common discomfort that the patient will experience in the initial days after the surgery. Mild pain, bleeding and swelling lasting one of two days will be experienced, however, painkillers and other medication will be prescribed to aid with pain management and healing.

Benefits Of Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Saving of teeth
When wisdom teeth do not grow out straight, food trap will occur between the wisdom tooth and its adjacent tooth. The food trapped results in decay and gum disease which affect the wisdom teeth and its neighboring teeth.Early removal of the wisdom tooth can prevent the loss of your initial molars.
Prevention of pain and swelling
Food trap between the wisdom tooth and its adjacent tooth can lead to infection. With infection, patients often experience severe pain and swelling. More serious problems such as the formulation of cysts or tumours around an impacted tooth can occur. This leads to the destruction of the surrounding jawbone, tissues and neighbouring teeth, leading to prolonged, costly treatments. If such serious conditions are not addressed, the infection could eventually become so severe that it becomes life threatening.
Elimination of bad breath
Patients often complain of bad breath due to the build-up of food and bacteria between wisdom tooth and its adjacent tooth or under the gums covering the wisdom tooth. Sometimes, people surrounding the patient can detect the rancid smell that emits from the patent’s mouth. When this occurs, the removal of the wisdom tooth causing the odour should do the job.
Prevention of cyst formation
Wisdom teeth that failed to grow out can lead to formation of cyst. In rare but serious development, these cysts can become cancerous. Hence, removal of wisdom tooth is indicated for these reasons.
