Wisdom teeth — the third and final set of molars — usually appear between ages 17 and 25. While some people experience no problems at all, for many, wisdom teeth can lead to pain, crowding, and long-term dental complications. That’s why extraction is one of the most common oral surgeries worldwide.
At MISKDENT in Antalya, we combine advanced digital diagnostics, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and comprehensive aftercare to make wisdom tooth extraction safe, comfortable, and effective.
📌 Why Wisdom Teeth Are Often Removed
- Not Enough Room in the Jaw
Most mouths simply don’t have space for four extra molars. This lack of room can cause:
- Crowding of existing teeth
- Shifting of orthodontic results
- Misaligned bites
- Impacted or Misaligned Growth
Wisdom teeth often erupt sideways, partially, or not at all (impacted). This can lead to:
- Severe gum pain
- Infections
- Pressure on neighboring teeth
- Increased Risk of Decay and Gum Problems
Because of their location, wisdom teeth are hard to clean. Food and bacteria get trapped, leading to:
- Cavities
- Gum disease
- Bad breath and inflammation
- Bite and Jaw Issues
Erupting wisdom teeth may interfere with the bite and cause:
- Jaw stiffness
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders
- Headaches or facial pain
🛠️ What to Expect During the Procedure
- Consultation & Imaging
Your dentist will use digital X-rays or 3D CBCT scans to determine the position of the teeth. - Anesthesia Options
Depending on the case, we provide local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to keep you comfortable and pain-free. - Extraction Process
- For erupted teeth: a simple extraction may be enough.
- For impacted teeth: a small incision is made in the gum, and the tooth is gently removed using minimally invasive surgical techniques.
- Recovery Phase
Most patients recover in 3–7 days, with complete healing in a few weeks.
💡 Recovery Tips & Pain Management
To ensure smooth healing, follow these aftercare guidelines:
✔️ Apply ice packs on the cheek to reduce swelling.
✔️ Take prescribed painkillers as directed.
✔️ Eat soft foods (soups, yogurt, smoothies) for the first days.
✔️ Avoid smoking, alcohol, and carbonated drinks.
✔️ Keep the area clean but avoid vigorous rinsing in the first 24 hours.
At MISKDENT, we also provide patients with a personalized aftercare plan and follow-up support via WhatsApp to ensure recovery is comfortable and stress-free.
