What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that typically appear during late adolescence or early adulthood, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. Most people develop four wisdom teeth—two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw. While some wisdom teeth grow without issues, many do not have enough space to erupt properly, leading to dental complications.
Why Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth are often removed when they cause pain or pose a risk to oral health. Common reasons include:
- Impaction (teeth trapped under the gums or jawbone)
- Overcrowding of nearby teeth
- Tooth decay due to difficulty cleaning
- Gum infections and inflammation
- Cyst or tumor formation around the tooth
Timely wisdom tooth extraction in Dubai helps prevent future dental problems and preserves overall oral health.

- Persistent pain or pressure at the back of the mouth

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation and imaging to assess the position of the wisdom tooth. Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure comfort. The dentist then carefully removes the tooth, sometimes in sections if it is impacted. The procedure is typically completed within 30–60 minutes, depending on complexity.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery typically takes anywhere from a few days up to one week. Aftercare instructions may include:
- Applying ice packs to reduce swelling
- Taking prescribed pain medication
- Eating soft foods
- Avoiding smoking and straws
- Maintaining gentle oral hygiene
Following post-operative care ensures faster healing and reduces complications.
When to See Your Dentist After Surgery

- Severe or worsening pain after a few days
- Excessive bleeding
- Signs of infection such as fever or pus
- Persistent numbness
Regular follow-up appointments help ensure proper healing after wisdom tooth extraction in Dubai.
