Wisdom Tooth Removal
The rear teeth of the mouth are referred to as wisdom teeth or third molars.
Patients are frequently advised to have their wisdom teeth removed if they are impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth are those that have partially or completely erupted through the gums or are embedded in the jawbone or soft tissue. This makes them challenging to clean and enables the plaque to accumulate quickly, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities. They must be removed before they become a problem.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth clinically referred to as third molars are the final set of permanent teeth to develop, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. For many patients in wisdom teeth Dubai clinics, these teeth cause no problems and require no intervention. For others, a lack of space in the jaw means they cannot erupt correctly, leading to wisdom teeth pain, crowding, infection, and the need for third molar removal.
- Four in total one in each corner of the mouth behind the second molars
- Most commonly emerge between age 17 and 25, though timing varies
- Often the first sign of a problem is wisdom teeth pain at the back of the jaw
- Not all wisdom teeth need removal only those causing or likely to cause clinical problems

Wisdom Tooth Extractions Treatment Options
Bruising on nearby teeth
If your wisdom teeth are impacted, they may push on your neighboring teeth and cause pain and biting difficulties.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
When a tooth is partially erupted, has not fully erupted, or is impacted, surgery is required. A local anesthetic is injected to numb the area and keep you pain-free during the procedure.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
The removal of upper wisdom teeth that are visible but unaffected is the most frequent justification for wisdom tooth extraction.
Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed
Not every wisdom tooth requires extraction, but certain symptoms indicate that third molar removal has become clinically necessary. Delaying treatment when these signs are present allows a wisdom tooth infection or structural damage to worsen often turning a straightforward procedure into a more complex one.
Persistent wisdom teeth pain or pressure at the back of the jaw, especially when chewing
Swelling, redness, or discharge around the gum overlying the tooth — signs of a wisdom tooth infection
Crowding or shifting of adjacent teeth caused by an impacted wisdom tooth pushing forward
Decay or damage to the second molar beside an erupting or partially erupted wisdom tooth
Impacted vs. Wisdom Teeth
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to fully emerge through the gum due to insufficient space or an incorrect angle of growth. Impaction is the most common reason patients are referred for wisdom teeth surgery and the type of impaction directly affects how complex the procedure will be.
- Soft tissue impaction
- Partial bony impaction
- Complete bony impaction
- Horizontal or angled impaction
Simple Wisdom Tooth Extraction vs. Surgical Removal
The technique used for third molar removal depends on the position, angle, and level of eruption of the tooth. At Mint Dental Care, both simple extractions and wisdom teeth surgery are performed under local anaesthesia, with sedation available for patients with dental anxiety.
- ✓ Used when the wisdom tooth has fully erupted and can be loosened and removed without surgical access; typically completed in a single short appointment
- ✓ Required for a partially or fully impacted wisdom tooth; involves a small incision in the gum and, where necessary, sectioning the tooth for safe removal

Frequently Asked Questions
On the day of your wisdom teeth surgery or simple extraction, local anaesthesia is administered to fully numb the area before any work begins — most patients feel pressure but no pain during the procedure. The extraction itself takes between 20 and 60 minutes depending on complexity. Before you leave, your dentist provides gauze to control initial bleeding, written aftercare instructions, and a prescription for pain relief if needed. Arrange for someone to drive you home if sedation has been used.
Most patients find that tooth extraction recovery follows a predictable pattern. Swelling and discomfort peak within the first 48 to 72 hours and then gradually resolve. The gum tissue typically closes over within one to two weeks, while full bone healing takes several months — though this does not affect daily life. Patients are usually comfortable enough to return to work or normal activity within two to three days of a simple extraction, or three to five days following surgical third molar removal.
Some degree of wisdom teeth pain and swelling after extraction is normal and expected. Applying an ice pack to the outside of the cheek for 15-minute intervals during the first 24 hours significantly reduces swelling. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or prescription pain relief provided by your dentist manages discomfort effectively for most patients. Sleeping with the head slightly elevated for the first two nights also helps reduce facial swelling during tooth extraction recovery.
Diet plays an important role in dry socket prevention and smooth healing. For the first 24 to 48 hours, stick to soft, cool foods yoghurt, mashed potato, soup (not hot), smoothies, and scrambled eggs are all well tolerated. Avoid anything hard, crunchy, or chewy that could disturb the clot forming in the socket. Do not use a straw for at least 72 hours the suction pressure is one of the leading causes of dry socket. Hot drinks, alcohol, and smoking should also be avoided for a minimum of 48 hours to support tooth extraction recovery and reduce the risk of complications.
