Wisdom teeth removal in Agadir: when and how?

Why remove wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear between 17 and 25. The jaw often has no room for them: they stay buried in the bone, erupt partially or push sideways against the neighbouring tooth. They can then cause pain, repeated gum infections (pericoronitis), decay that is hard to treat, or damage to the second molar.

Well-positioned, healthy wisdom teeth that are easy to clean can be kept. The decision is based on the clinical examination and a panoramic X-ray.

The extraction procedure

A wisdom tooth extraction is carried out at the clinic under local anaesthetic:

• Consultation and X-ray to assess the position of the tooth and its proximity to the nerve or the sinus.
• Local anaesthetic; the procedure is painless.
• Simple extraction if the tooth has erupted, or surgical extraction (small gum incision, sometimes sectioning the tooth) if it is impacted.
• Stitches if needed, then aftercare instructions and a prescription.

Recovery

Swelling of the cheek, difficulty opening the mouth and moderate pain are normal for a few days. They are controlled with the prescribed painkillers, cold compresses on the first day and soft, lukewarm food.

To help healing: do not smoke, do not spit or rinse vigorously in the first 24 hours, avoid hot food and alcohol, and brush gently around the area. Pain that gets worse after three days may indicate dry socket and should be checked.

Wisdom teeth removal during a stay in Agadir

An extraction can be done early in your stay, leaving a few days for recovery and a check before you fly. Flying itself is not a problem after a routine extraction, but plan a couple of days of rest.
