Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically emerge in the late teenage years or early adulthood. In some cases, they can cause problems such as overcrowding, infection, or pain, which may require extraction.
Here is some information about wisdom tooth extraction:
Procedure
Wisdom tooth extraction is a dental surgical procedure that involves removing one or more wisdom teeth. It is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area around the tooth.
Recovery
Recovery from wisdom tooth extraction typically takes a few days to a week. During this time, it is important to follow the dentist’s instructions for post-operative care, which may include avoiding certain foods and drinks, taking pain medication as prescribed, and using ice packs to reduce swelling.
Complications
As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications with wisdom tooth extraction. These can include bleeding, infection, nerve damage, and dry socket, which occurs when the blood clot in the extraction site is dislodged, exposing the bone and causing pain.
Preparation
Before the extraction, X-rays will be taken to determine the position of the tooth and the complexity of the extraction. Your medical history may also be needed and any medications you are taking to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Aftercare
After the extraction, it is important to keep the extraction site clean by gently rinsing with warm salt water. You should also avoid smoking and using straws, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.
In general, wisdom tooth extraction is a safe and common procedure that can help alleviate pain and prevent future dental problems. At our center White Willow Dental Care, the risks and benefits are discussed with you before the procedure to ensure that you are comfortable and making an informed decision.

Service Recipient Says
I have been a smoker for a long time and that had taken a toll on the health of my tooth. Plark, cavity and signs of decay were prominent. She was not only gentle in her approach, but took utmost care in explaining me the issue. She handled the cleaning really well and made sure that it was a pain-free experience for me. I highly recommend the doctor. She is a very accomplished young doctor. Kudos!

Dr. Prashant is a great doctor, rarely have i come across someone who is so through and patient. He is highly trained and extremely well equipped to my surprise as i have yet to see the level of equipments which she uses elsewhere.

Visited Dr. Shilpi for getting braces to correct tooth gaps. She listened to me and explained me the options available. The treatment process was very smooth. The dental clinic is also unbelievably relaxing. There was no undue pressure to try out different kinds of treatment or procedures. I highly recommend her to everyone.
