Wisdom Tooth Removal in Lahore: Signs, Cost & Recovery
S
Dr. Saleh Rafaqat
Smile Heaven Dental Clinic, Lahore
Wisdom teeth arrive late and often don't have room to sit properly. When they push against neighbouring teeth or become partly stuck under the gum, they cause pain, swelling and repeated infections.
Signs it's time to remove them
Book a check-up if you notice any of these:
- Persistent pain or pressure at the back of your jaw.
- Swollen, tender gums around a partly-erupted tooth.
- Bad breath or a bad taste that doesn't clear up.
- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing.
What the procedure involves
Most extractions are done under local anaesthesia in a single visit. Deeper impactions may need a small surgical release — still routine, and still painless with modern techniques.
Recovery timeline
Expect mild swelling for two to three days. Cold compresses, soft foods and the prescribed medication keep things comfortable, and most patients are back to work the next day.
