Anesthesia Administration: To numb the area and/or sedate the patient for comfort.

Incision: A small incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone.

Bone Removal: If the tooth is embedded in the jawbone, a portion of the bone may be removed to access the tooth.

Tooth Sectioning: The tooth may be divided into sections for easier removal, especially if it’s deeply impacted or in a challenging position.

Tooth Extraction: Careful removal of the tooth sections while minimizing impact on surrounding tissues.

Cleaning the Site: Thorough cleaning of the extraction site to remove any debris or remaining tooth fragments.

Stitching: Sutures are placed to close the gum edges and aid in healing.

Gauze Placement: To control bleeding and help a blood clot form in the tooth socket.

Rest: Patients are advised to rest for the remainder of the day and limit activities for a few days.

Pain Management: Prescription or over-the-counter pain medication may be recommended.

Swelling and Bruising Control: Ice packs can help reduce swelling. Some degree of bruising is normal.

Diet: Soft foods and plenty of fluids are recommended. Avoid using a straw, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot.

Oral Hygiene: Gentle rinsing with warm salt water after 24 hours. Avoid vigorous mouth rinsing or brushing near the extraction site.

Follow-Up Appointment: To remove stitches (if they are not self-dissolving) and check on healing.

Dry Socket: Occurs if the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket.
Infection: Indicated by persistent pain, swelling, fever, or pus.
Nerve Damage: Rare but can result in temporary or permanent numbness.
Surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is a routine procedure but requires specialized skills to handle potential complexities. It’s important to follow the oral surgeon’s post-operative care instructions closely to ensure a smooth recovery. Patients should also keep their follow-up appointments and report any unusual symptoms immediately.
