What is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often cause pain, infection and crowding when they don't have enough space to erupt properly. Extraction is frequently the best solution to prevent ongoing problems.
Dr. Preethi at Sethu Dental Care performs wisdom tooth extractions using advanced techniques under local anaesthesia, ensuring the procedure is painless. Most patients recover comfortably within a few days.
🔬 How the Procedure Works
Digital X-ray to evaluate the position of the wisdom tooth and plan the extraction.
Local anaesthesia is applied to completely numb the area.
The wisdom tooth is carefully loosened and removed with minimal trauma.
Instructions are provided for care at home to ensure quick, smooth healing.
