Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common dental extraction processes. The numbers show just how routine it has become over the past few years. Recent NHS data reports over 56,000 hospital tooth extractions in  2025. The demand is only continuing to rise. Most of the procedures are linked to existing tooth decay. The older teens and adults are impacted by wisdom teeth eruptions mainly, leading to pain, swelling, infection and even crowding if ignored.

Know the Procedure of Wisdom Teeth Removal

• What Your Dentist Sees That You Don’t: Your mouth is already filled with the complete set of adult teeth when wisdom teeth generally start to appear. With little to no extra space left, these third molars do not always have a clear path to erupt properly. 

This can push through at awkward angles. Even teeth can stay trapped beneath the gums or only partially emerge. When a tooth is unable to come in normally, it is known as an ‘impacted wisdom tooth’. Your dentist will need to take an x-ray to assess how your wisdom teeth are positioned.

Most wisdom teeth extractions are considered surgical dental procedures, especially when the tooth has not fully erupted. Dentists at Oradent Dental Care also check for common triggers like pain, infection, tooth decay or pressure on nearby teeth.

• Let’s Talk Numbing: Comfort comes first. A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area so you do not feel pain during the procedure, you may feel a little pressure whilst the dentist works around the tooth. 
• The Procedure: Once your mouth is comfortably numb, the dentist gently removes the wisdom tooth. If it is impacted, a small opening may be made in the gum and sometimes the tooth is divided into smaller sections to make removal smoother. The area is then cleaned and stitches are placed to support healing.
• Healing Like a Pro: The recovery usually starts right after the procedure. Some mild swelling or discomfort is normal in general which settles usually within a few days. Proper aftercare advice like resting, eating soft foods and keeping the area clean, helps your mouth heal comfortably and quickly. Post-operative instructions are always given to patients to help guide your aftercare efficiently.
