What is meant by wisdom tooth extraction?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that are found on each side of the upper and lower jaw. They are the last teeth to erupt and often do not erupt but remain below the gumline. Impacted, or crowded, teeth that have not erupted cause pain and swelling. The dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon will extract the tooth for the patients' comfort. The extraction of a wisdom tooth takes from ten minutes to one hour.

Are wisdom teeth extractions painful?

Local anaesthesia is injected before a wisdom tooth is extracted. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure. Anxious patients are given a sedative before the procedure.

What is the recovery time after wisdom teeth extractions?

It takes up to three weeks to completely recover from a wisdom tooth extraction.

When can I travel by air after having wisdom teeth extracted?

Patients can travel by air two days after having wisdom teeth extracted, after consulting with their dentist or surgeon.

What care is required after having wisdom teeth extracted?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should gently rinse their mouth with salt water frequently. They should not rinse their mouths or brush their teeth vigorously for a few days. Patients should sleep with their head elevated. They should avoid vigorous exercise and lifting heavy objects for at least a week. They should use ice packs to reduce any swelling. They should not eat very hot or very cold food for a few days.

From the moment you enter the reception, you feel welcomeLauretha, South Africa, 15 08 22

I (like many other people out there) have a fear for a dentist. I visited another practice about a month ago and was told I needed to have a root canal procedure done, they did a quick fox in the meantime for me, whilst I was placed on a waiting list for root canal. The quick fix left me feeling that I was hit in my face, swollen and very tender. 3 Weeks later, and still nothing. (not a care in the world that I was in pain) I phoned Dr. Thomas's rooms yesterday, told them what happened and they immediately helped with an appointment. What an experience! Dr Thomas is so gentle, and makes you feel comfortable throughout the process. He (as well as all the staff I met today) is so energetic, vibey, friendly and just amazing. From the moment you enter the reception, you feel welcome. I highly recommend him and his practice, for any dental work. I actually walked out today, with no pain even after the beginning process of root canal. I am so happy with my new forever dentist. They are here to actually help their patients, and not just make money out of them. A dentist with a passion for what he does. Thank you Dr Thomas and team for changing my mind about dentists today. You are such an amazing bunch!

I always had the feeling that she had a master plan for putting a smile back on my faceQuinten, South Africa, 05 12 19

From dentistry to artistry. Rita Nel is a genius. What she has been able to achieve with my teeth in four days is awesome, and took a lot of work. I always had the feeling that she had a master plan for putting a smile back on my face. I always felt that she was in complete control and that she knew exactly what the end result must be. No dilly-dallying and uncertainty, scratching and fiddling around and hoping for the best. I experienced a true professional on top of her game. Worth every penny. Bravo! Highly recommended.

It really was a pleasant & painless experienceLeeAnne, South Africa, 21 07 23

I had my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday, and believe me when I say I was nervous and anxious as I haven't had a dental procedure done in years. Dr Moosa & Dr Ismail & team made me feel so much at ease. Dr Ismail is amazing at what he does the way he explains everything and talks one through the process. Before I knew it my tooth was out and I didn't feel a thing, I couldn't believe it. It really was a pleasant & painless experience. Thank you Dr Moosa & Dr Ismail & team for what you have done for me. I'll never forget it...you guys are truly amazing.
