Removal of an eighth tooth, i.e. an impacted wisdom tooth

Impacted wisdom teeth can remain asymptomatic for years, only to later cause pain, inflammation, or damage to adjacent teeth. At Mabel Clinic, we extract wisdom teeth safely, under anaesthesia, and based on precise diagnostics.

When is it necessary to remove a wisdom tooth

We recommend wisdom tooth removal when the third molar causes recurrent gum inflammation, pain or swelling, damages or crowds the adjacent second molar, promotes tooth decay due to difficult hygiene, or when a cyst forms around an impacted tooth. Preventive extraction is also considered before orthodontic treatment. The decision is always based on a panoramic X-ray or a CT scan.

How the treatment is carried out at Mabel Clinic

We plan the procedure based on a radiological image, assessing the position of the tooth in relation to the nerve and maxillary sinus. After effective local anaesthesia, the doctor gently exposes the tooth and removes it as atraumatically as possible, sometimes in fragments, which reduces bone trauma. The wound is closed with sutures, and the patient receives clear post-operative instructions and a follow-up appointment.

Healing after wisdom tooth removal

For the first two or three days, swelling of the cheek, tenderness, and slight restriction in opening the mouth are natural. These symptoms can be alleviated with cold compresses and recommended painkillers. It is advisable to rest, avoid smoking, hot meals, and intense physical exertion. Stitches are usually removed after about a week, while simultaneously monitoring the healing progress of the wound.
