Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure in which one or more wisdom teeth are extracted.

Most people have between one and four wisdom teeth, but some do not have any. Wisdom teeth are the third set of molar teeth that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25.

At this time you may have 4 wisdom teeth in the back corners of the oral cavity. In most people, at least one of the wisdom teeth is impacted due to a lack of space for growth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, or other oral problems. At this time, it is recommended that you extract one or more of them.

If an X-ray shows that your wisdom teeth need to be extracted, you should have a wisdom tooth extracted by a dentist or oral surgeon.

In this procedure, the surgeon removes the wisdom teeth all at once or in pieces by making an incision in the gums. You will not feel any pain because the surgery is performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation.

Wisdom teeth removal in Iran, for whatever reason, prevents the complications mentioned above and any damage to the surrounding teeth and bones.

When to do wisdom teeth removal?

With dental X-rays and routine dental appointments, your dentist can monitor the progress of wisdom teeth. A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct a current problem or prevent any future problems that may arise. These are some of the problems that can occur with wisdom teeth:

  • It is possible for them to become impacted and unable to break through your gums if your jaw is too small for them.
  • You may develop a flap of the gum tissue over your wisdom teeth if they break through the gums. You may develop red, swollen, and painful gums if food and germs collect under the flap. These are symptoms of an infection.
  • An impacted wisdom tooth can cause more serious problems, such as painful inflammation, infection, damage to other teeth and bones, or a cyst.
  • The top of any of your wisdom teeth may emerge at an unusual angle, facing forward, backward, or on either side.

In each case, it is up to the attending dentist to determine whether to extract teeth that are already problematic or whether to prevent such complications while the teeth are still symptom-free.

The Four Most Common Types of Impacted Wisdom Teeth

How is wisdom teeth removal in Iran done?

Wisdom teeth can be removed in several ways. The decision is based on whether the teeth have erupted or are still hidden in the jawbone. Wisdom teeth that have already erupted can be easily extracted under local anesthesia, just like other teeth.

A dentist or oral surgeon must cut through the layers of tissue covering the wisdom teeth if they are still in the jawbone. Bones and mucous membranes are removed. To remove the wisdom tooth, the tooth is crushed into several pieces in its cave. The wound is sutured up at the end. This procedure can also be done under local anesthesia. Nonetheless, if more wisdom teeth are being extracted or if the patient fears the noise and pain during the procedure, general anesthesia may be recommended.

What to consider after wisdom teeth removal in Iran?

If you have received local anesthesia, your recovery time will be short and you will likely rest for a while in a dental chair. But if you have received sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia, you may need to stay in the recovery room for some time after the operation.

After sedation or general anesthesia has been administered, it should be made clear how the patient will be able to return home. As there is no driving ability and the orientation can be foggy, it is recommended to bring an attendant with you.

During the recovery period after surgery, you should follow your dentist’s instructions. Things you need to know about the recovery period after wisdom teeth removal in Iran are:

Pain and swelling after wisdom teeth removal

After the operation, pain and swelling may occur. Pain relievers and cooling pads can help. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen, are usually sufficient to control pain. But if you have had bone removal surgery, you may need stronger painkillers that will be prescribed by your dentist or oral surgeon. You can also greatly reduce pain and swelling by keeping a cold compress on the jaw and cheeks near the surgical site.

Rest more on the day of the wisdom teeth removal

Plan to rest completely on the day of surgery. You can resume your daily activities the day after surgery but refrain from any strenuous activity for at least a week.

Bleeding after wisdom teeth removal in Iran

Some blood discharge after wisdom teeth removal in Iran is normal. Try not to spit blood out, but try to stop the bleeding by squeezing sterile gauze over the surgical site.

Stitches after wisdom teeth removal in Iran

The extraction of wisdom teeth does not always require stitches. When a suture is needed, most surgeons use dissolvable stitches. In any case, if your stitches are non-dissolvable, make sure to have them removed at the time prescribed by your surgeon.

What are the risks of wisdom teeth removal?

If the operation is performed under general anesthesia, nausea and vomiting may occur afterwards. Young women who have already experienced motion sickness or anesthetic sickness are more susceptible.

Any of these symptoms, which may indicate infection, nerve damage, or another serious issue, should be brought to the attention of your dentist or oral surgeon:

  • Pain that is unbearable despite using pain medicines.
  • Breathing or swallowing difficulties.
  • Excessive bleeding.
  • Fever.
  • Inability to feel for long periods.
  • Nasal discharge with blood or pus.
  • A persistent bad taste in your mouth.

A practical point for your care

Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.[1]
