Painless wisdom teeth removal: modern techniques for comfortable care

Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most commonly performed oral surgery procedures and often raises many questions among patients. At Warsaw Dental Academy in Bemowo, we prove that wisdom tooth removal can be performed safely, painlessly and without unnecessary stress.

What are the main indications for wisdom tooth removal?

The decision to extract a wisdom tooth is never made without careful consideration – it is always preceded by thorough radiological diagnostics. The most common reasons for removing third molars include:

• Insufficient space in the dental arch – which may lead to tooth crowding and orthodontic problems.
• Impacted wisdom teeth – teeth that have not fully erupted may cause bone inflammation and cysts.
• Recurring infections – difficult access to wisdom teeth makes proper hygiene challenging, increasing the risk of tooth decay and painful gum inflammation.
• Pressure on adjacent teeth – an incorrectly positioned wisdom tooth may damage the roots of the neighbouring second molars.

Are there any contraindications to wisdom tooth extraction?

As specialists, we always make sure that the procedure is performed at the optimal time. Temporary contraindications may include acute inflammation in the oral cavity or uncontrolled systemic conditions, such as blood-clotting disorders. At Warsaw Dental Academy, we first stabilise the patient’s health to ensure that wisdom tooth removal can be carried out without complications.

Surgical and standard extraction – what is the difference?

The type of procedure depends on how far the tooth has erupted. If the wisdom tooth is fully visible, we perform a standard extraction. However, if the tooth is hidden beneath the gum or embedded in the bone, a surgical wisdom tooth extraction is necessary. This involves making a precise incision in the tissue and placing sutures. At our clinic, the procedure is performed with the utmost care, often using a microscope or magnifying loupes.

How should you prepare for the procedure and how do we ensure your comfort?

Modern local anaesthesia is the key to a pain-free procedure. For patients experiencing severe anxiety, we also offer treatment under inhalation sedation using laughing gas, which induces a state of deep relaxation. Before the procedure, we always take a panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan. This allows the surgeon to plan every step precisely and avoid important nerve structures.

Aftercare instructions – how can you support the healing process?

What you do after your appointment has a significant impact on recovery. To avoid complications such as dry socket, you should:

• Apply cold compresses to the cheek to reduce swelling.
• Avoid hot food and drinks, and do not drink through a straw, as this may dislodge the blood clot.
• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least 72 hours.
• Maintain good oral hygiene, but avoid brushing the wound directly during the first 24 hours.

Possible complications and how do we prevent them?

Although most procedures at Warsaw Dental Academy are completed successfully without any problems, we always provide patients with clear information about the risk of infection or prolonged swelling. Following our instructions and taking any prescribed medication helps minimise these risks. In more complex cases, medication may include antibiotics when clinically indicated. If any concerns arise, our patients remain under the ongoing care of the clinic’s team.
