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.
