Wisdom Tooth Removal
😖 Wisdom Tooth Removal (Third Molar Extraction)
Safe, Gentle Extraction for Impacted or Painful Wisdom Teeth | New York Dental Clinic | Daegu Dental Clinic
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last adult teeth to erupt—usually between ages 17 and 25. Because they often lack the space to grow properly, wisdom teeth frequently become impacted, crooked, or partially erupted, increasing the risk of infection, decay, and crowding.
At New York Dental Clinic, a trusted Daegu dental clinic, we provide expert wisdom tooth evaluations and extractions with advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques to ensure a safe, comfortable recovery.
🦷 Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not all wisdom teeth require removal. However, if they are impacted, difficult to clean, or cause symptoms like pain or swelling, extraction is often the safest and most preventive choice.
Wisdom teeth may grow sideways, push into neighboring molars, or become trapped beneath the gum line or jawbone. Left untreated, they can lead to:
- Gum infections (pericoronitis)
- Tooth decay or gum disease in nearby molars
- Jaw stiffness and swelling
- Pain radiating to the ears or head
- Misalignment of your existing teeth
✅ You May Need Wisdom Tooth Removal If:
- Food frequently gets stuck around the tooth, causing discomfort or bad breath
- Your wisdom tooth is pushing against other teeth, leading to crowding
- The tooth is partially covered by gum tissue, creating a flap prone to infection
- It’s difficult to brush or floss in that area
- You experience swelling, pain, or infection near the back of your mouth
At New York Dental, we use 3D CBCT scans to analyze the position of your wisdom teeth and determine whether extraction is necessary.
🛠️ Types of Wisdom Tooth Extractions
- Simple Extraction
For fully erupted wisdom teeth that are easy to access and remove. Usually completed in one short visit. - Surgical Extraction
For impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth. A minor incision is made in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal. - Multiple Tooth Extraction
Removal of all four wisdom teeth in a single session is available under local or sedation anesthesia for maximum convenience.
💬 What to Expect During the Procedure
- Numbing of the area with local anesthesia
- Gentle extraction using advanced, minimally invasive tools
- Stitches (if necessary) to aid in healing
- Short recovery with personalized post-op instructions and care kits
If you have anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex, we offer sedation options to ensure a stress-free experience.
🧊 Post-Extraction Care Tips
- Bite firmly on gauze for at least 2 hours to stop bleeding
- Avoid talking, spitting, or rinsing for the first few hours
- No smoking, alcohol, hot saunas, or intense exercise for at least 24–48 hours
- Stick to soft foods like porridge, mashed potatoes, or yogurt
- Avoid touching the wound with your tongue or fingers
- Use cold packs to minimize swelling and bleeding during the first day
We also provide written instructions and follow-up support for a smooth recovery.
