What happens during treatment

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom tooth pain is common, and there is no need to feel anxious about seeking treatment. Depending on the position and condition of the tooth, your dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon may recommend monitoring, medication, or extraction. If removal is necessary, timely treatment can help prevent complications and protect the surrounding teeth and gums.

At SmileOn Lahore, we provide professional wisdom teeth assessment and treatment to help you understand your condition and choose the most appropriate next step.

What Happens Next?

The first step is to schedule a consultation so that your wisdom tooth can be properly examined. Your dentist may recommend dental X-rays to assess the position of the tooth and determine whether it is impacted or affecting nearby structures.

During your appointment, let the dental team know that the painful tooth is a wisdom tooth and describe any symptoms you are experiencing, such as swelling, difficulty opening your mouth, or persistent pain.

If the wisdom tooth is impacted or requires surgical extraction, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon may perform the procedure.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a dental specialist trained to diagnose and surgically treat conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, face, and surrounding structures.

They commonly perform complex or impacted wisdom tooth extractions.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure. The recommended approach depends on factors such as the position of the tooth, its relationship with surrounding teeth and nerves, and the presence of infection or other complications.

Your dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon will explain the procedure, available options, expected recovery, and aftercare instructions before treatment.
