Wisdom Tooth Removal

## Wisdom Tooth Removal in Mumbai

Wisdom teeth — the third molars that typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25 — often don't have enough room to grow in properly. When they come in impacted, misaligned, or partially erupted, they can cause pain, infection, crowding, and damage to neighbouring teeth. At **The Maxfac Clinic**, Dr. Priyanka Engineer, MDS Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, provides expert diagnosis and surgical management of impacted and problematic wisdom teeth for patients across **South Mumbai — including Grand Road, Girgaon, Charni Road, Breach Candy, Peddar Road, Malabar Hill, and Tardeo.**

### Why Choose an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon for Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Unlike a general dentist, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is trained specifically in the surgical removal of impacted and complex teeth, minimizing risks such as nerve injury, jaw fracture, and prolonged recovery. Dr. Priyanka Engineer brings specialized postgraduate surgical training to every case — from simple extractions to fully impacted, angled, or bone-embedded wisdom teeth.

### Our Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

1. **Clinical & Radiographic Evaluation** — A detailed examination along with an OPG (panoramic X-ray) or CBCT scan to assess the exact position, angle, and proximity of the tooth to nerves and adjacent structures.

2. **Personalized Treatment Planning** — Every case is different; we explain whether your case is a straightforward extraction or a surgical (impacted) removal, along with anaesthesia options.

3. **Safe, Minimally Traumatic Surgery** — Performed under local anaesthesia (with sedation options available for anxious patients), using precise surgical techniques to reduce swelling, pain, and downtime.

4. **Guided Recovery** — Clear aftercare instructions, pain management, and follow-up to ensure smooth healing and prevent complications like dry socket or infection.

### Common Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Removal

- Pain or swelling at the back of the jaw

- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing

- Recurring gum infection near the last molar

- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
