Overview
What to expect from Wisdom Tooth
Wisdom teeth often lack room to emerge properly and can become impacted, causing pain, swelling, repeated infection, or damage to the tooth next door. When this happens, removal is the recommended treatment.
MedVocs' oral surgeons perform the extraction under local anaesthesia (with sedation options for complex cases), planning carefully with X-rays to remove the tooth safely and comfortably.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Eat lightly and stay hydrated unless your surgeon advises otherwise — prolonged fasting is usually not required.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
You are positioned comfortably and the anaesthesia is administered so you feel no pain during surgery.
- 2
The surgeon makes a small, precise incision and treats or removes the affected tissue.
- 3
Care is taken to control bleeding and protect surrounding healthy structures throughout.
- 4
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue and dressed, and you are moved to recovery.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards
- You are observed in a recovery area for a few hours and, in most cases, discharged the same day once you are stable.
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about 3–7 days, depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
