At Apollo Dental Care, we combine advanced technology with compassionate care to relieve wisdom tooth pain with careful, comfortable treatment.
Pain at the back of your mouth, a swollen gum, trouble opening your mouth or food that keeps getting stuck behind your last tooth are common signs of a problem wisdom tooth. These problems often come and go, which makes people put off treatment, but they usually get worse over time.
Apollo Dental Care offers wisdom tooth removal in Patna on Boring Road. We examine the tooth, take X-rays, explain your options clearly and remove the tooth only if it needs to be removed. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, and we guide you carefully through your recovery.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to appear, at the very back of the mouth. They usually come through between the late teens and the mid-twenties. Some people have all four, some have fewer, and some never have any.
In many mouths, there is not enough room for wisdom teeth to come through properly. They may come in at an angle, only partly emerge, or stay trapped under the gum or bone. A tooth that is trapped in this way is called an impacted wisdom tooth.
Wisdom teeth that come in straight, can be cleaned well and cause no problems can often be left alone. The ones that cause trouble are the ones we recommend treating.
Understanding each stage of wisdom tooth removal can help you feel more prepared. Our team explains your treatment and aftercare at every step.
We examine your mouth, ask about your symptoms and review your medical history. Please tell your dentist about any medicines you take, allergies and existing health conditions.
A dental X-ray helps us assess the tooth's position, roots and nearby structures. We explain whether removal is recommended and discuss the most appropriate approach for your case.
We numb the treatment area with local anaesthesia. You may feel pressure or movement during the procedure, but you should not feel sharp pain. Tell your dentist if you feel pain so they can check the anaesthesia and provide more if needed.
A fully erupted wisdom tooth may be removed in a straightforward procedure. If the tooth is impacted, the dentist may make a small opening in the gum and sometimes divide the tooth into sections to remove it safely.
After removing the tooth, we clean the area carefully. Stitches may be placed when needed to help the gum heal. Some stitches dissolve on their own, while others may require removal.
We provide instructions for caring for the extraction site, managing discomfort and choosing suitable foods during recovery. We also explain when to return for a follow-up, if required.
Rest after surgery and follow the instructions provided by your dentist. Avoid smoking, using straws and vigorous rinsing during the initial healing period, as these may disturb the blood clot. Contact your dentist if pain or swelling becomes severe or worsens.
Arrange a dental examination to understand your treatment options.

The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure, although you may feel some pressure. Soreness, swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards are common and can usually be managed with the medicines prescribed by your dentist.
The procedure time depends on the position and condition of the tooth. A simple extraction may take a short time, while removing a deeply impacted wisdom tooth can take longer. Your dentist will assess the tooth and review your X-ray to explain what to expect.
Most people start feeling better within a few days after wisdom tooth removal. However, complete healing of the gum can take several weeks. Recovery depends on the complexity of the extraction and your individual healing process. Your dentist will provide specific aftercare instructions.
Many people can return to their normal activities within a day or two after a simple extraction. If several wisdom teeth are removed or the surgery is more complex, you may need additional rest. Follow your dentist's advice before returning to work or strenuous activities.
Yes, all four wisdom teeth can sometimes be removed in one appointment, depending on their position, your oral health and the complexity of the procedure. In other cases, your dentist may recommend removing teeth one side at a time. The best approach depends on your individual needs.
Choose soft, cool or lukewarm foods such as curd, dal, khichdi, soup and mashed vegetables during the first few days. Avoid very hot, hard, spicy and crunchy foods while the area heals. Follow your dentist's instructions and gradually return to your usual diet as comfort improves.
A dry socket occurs when the blood clot at the extraction site is lost or fails to form properly, exposing the underlying bone and causing significant pain. Smoking, using a straw and disturbing the extraction site can increase the risk. Contact your dentist if you develop severe or worsening pain a few days after removal, as treatment can help relieve the discomfort.
Yes, most impacted wisdom teeth can be removed when treatment is needed. Your dentist will examine the tooth and review an X-ray to plan the procedure. Depending on its position, a small opening in the gum and sometimes limited removal of bone may be necessary.
A problematic wisdom tooth can lead to repeated infection, tooth decay, gum problems or damage to the neighbouring tooth. These issues may become more difficult to treat over time. Your dentist will assess the tooth and X-ray findings to determine whether removal or monitoring is appropriate.
No. Wisdom teeth do not always need to be removed. If they are healthy, fully erupted, easy to clean and not causing problems, your dentist may recommend regular monitoring instead of extraction. Removal is generally considered when there is a clear dental reason.
Wisdom tooth removal may still be possible if you have a medical condition or take regular medicines, but your dentist needs to assess your health before treatment. Inform the dental team about conditions such as diabetes or heart disease and medicines such as blood thinners. Do not stop any prescribed medicine unless your treating clinician advises you to do so.
