2. Signs You Need Your Wisdom Tooth Removed Immediately
- Pericoronitis (Infected Gum Flap): Food gets trapped under the gum flap over an erupting tooth, causing severe throbbing pain, pus discharge, and difficulty opening your mouth (trismus).
- Damage to Second Molar: An angled wisdom tooth creates an un-brushable food trap, decaying the healthy adjacent molar tooth.
- Jawbone Cyst Formation: Fluid-filled sacs can develop around impacted tooth crowns, eroding jawbone structure.
3. 7-Day Recovery Roadmap & Diet
Days 1–2: Apply ice packs on your cheek for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. Eat cold soft foods: curd, ice cream, cool khichdi, smoothie bowls. Rest with your head elevated.
Days 3–5: Switch to warm moist compresses. Jaw stiffness is normal. Begin gentle warm salt water rinses after meals.
Day 7: Visit the dental clinic for a 5-minute suture removal appointment if non-absorbable stitches were placed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is wisdom tooth removal done by a general dentist or a specialist?
While fully erupted teeth can be removed by a BDS dentist, impacted teeth embedded in bone should always be treated by an MDS Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon to prevent nerve injury.
Will my face swell after wisdom tooth surgery?
Cheek swelling peaks on Day 2 and Day 3 post-surgery. It is a natural part of bone healing and completely subsides within 5 to 7 days.
