Why is it necessary to remove an impacted tooth?

An impacted tooth can lead to multiple complications if left untreated. Common reasons for removal include:

  • Jaw pain that may radiate to nearby areas like the ears.
  • Damage to adjacent teeth due to food lodgement and difficulty in cleaning, causing decay and bad breath.
  • Crowding or misalignment of the front teeth due to constant pressure from the impacted tooth.
  • Risk of cyst or tumour formation in the jaw around the impacted area.
  • Cheek biting and gum swelling (pericoronitis) due to partial eruption of the tooth.

What Are Post-Operative Consequences?

we ensure that impacted tooth removal is a smooth and minimally invasive experience. Thanks to modern anesthesia and medications, post-operative effects are usually mild and temporary:

  • Mild swelling on the jaw area may occur.
  • Slight pain or discomfort is expected for a day or two, well-managed with prescribed painkillers.
  • Temporary difficulty in chewing on the affected side.
  • Patients can return to work the very next day in most cases.
  • No hospitalization required – the procedure is done comfortably as an OPD (Outpatient Department) treatment.
