Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Dubai
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. Due to limited space in the jaw, these teeth often erupt improperly or remain impacted beneath the gums, which can lead to complications. Wisdom tooth extraction becomes necessary in cases of impaction, crowding, decay, gum disease, cysts, or tumors. If you experience discomfort or suspect any problems with your wisdom teeth, it is important to seek evaluation and treatment from a qualified dental professional.
Symptoms
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it may indicate the need for wisdom tooth removal:
- Red or swollen gums near the back molars
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Swollen lymph nodes under the jaw
- Difficulty opening your mouth or chewing
- Pus, unpleasant taste, or bad breath
- Fever or visible facial swelling

FAQs
Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extraction Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tooth extraction cost in Dubai?
It depends on the complexity whether it’s a simple extraction or a surgical one (such as for impacted wisdom teeth). For an exact quote, please visit us or call with details about your condition.
Is tooth or wisdom tooth extraction painful?
No, it is done under local anesthesia, which ensures a painless procedure. You might feel some pressure, but not pain. For anxious patients or complex cases, sedation options are also available.
How long is recovery after tooth or wisdom tooth extraction?
- Simple extraction: 2–5 days
- Wisdom/surgical extraction: 7–10 days
Swelling usually peaks within 2–3 days, then begins to subside. Complete healing may take a few weeks.
How long will swelling last?
Swelling is normal:
- Peaks: Days 2–3
- Subsides: By Day 5
- Mostly gone: By Day 7–10
Use ice packs in the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
Can I eat after tooth extraction or wisdom tooth extraction?
Yes start with soft foods like yogurt, soup, or mashed potatoes a few hours after. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or chewy foods for several days.
Can I brush my teeth after extraction?
Yes, but avoid brushing near the extraction site for 24 hours. From Day 2 onward, brush gently and rinse with warm saltwater not mouthwash.
Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
Not always. But they’re often misaligned, impacted, or cause crowding. Early removal helps prevent pain, infection, and orthodontic problems.
Why didn’t I get stitches after wisdom tooth removal?
Not all extractions require stitches. If the tissue can naturally close, stitches may not be necessary.
What happens if I rinse too soon?
Rinsing within the first 24 hours can dislodge the blood clot and cause a dry socket. If you do, stop immediately, avoid spitting, and bite down gently on gauze if bleeding starts.
How do I take care of the extraction site?
- No rinsing, spitting, or smoking for 24 hours
- Rinse gently with saltwater starting Day 2
- Eat soft foods
- Stay hydrated
- Avoid using straws
- Keep the area clean but don’t disturb the clot
Can talking be uncomfortable afterward?
Yes, especially after wisdom teeth removal. Swelling and numbness can make speech uncomfortable for 1–2 days. Try to minimize jaw movement early on.
What happens to the hole after extraction?
A blood clot forms first. Over 1–2 weeks, soft tissue fills the socket, followed by gradual bone healing over several months.
When can I stop worrying about food getting stuck?
By 3–4 weeks, the socket is mostly closed. Until then, rinse gently after meals and eat carefully.
How do I know if I'm healing properly?
- By Day 3: No active bleeding, reduced swelling
- Over time: Socket gradually closes
Contact us if you notice pus, worsening pain, or bad breath—this could signal infection.
Why is my gum still sore after 7 days?
Some soreness is normal, but persistent or worsening pain may mean infection or dry socket. Call your dentist if pain continues.
Do I need antibiotics after extraction?
Not always. Antibiotics are prescribed only if there’s infection risk. Always follow your dentist’s instructions.
How long does bleeding last?
In some cases, light residual bleeding may continue for up to 24 hours after the extraction. Seeing small amounts of blood intermittently is normal. However, if excessive bleeding persists, the patient should contact their dentist as soon as possible.
Can I drink water right after wisdom teeth removal?
Yes sip water soon after surgery, especially if sedated. Avoid straws for several days. Eating soft foods within two hours is also advised.
How should I sleep the first night after tooth or wisdom tooth extraction?
Sleep with your head elevated and remove any gauze before bedtime. Use pain medication and ice packs as directed to ease discomfort. Make sure to get plenty of rest to support healing.
What options are available if a tooth needs to be removed?
If a tooth is damaged, decayed, or impacted, it may need to be removed. After extraction, there are several ways to restore your smile, including bridges, dentures, or a long-term solution like a dental implant in Al Barsha , Dubai to maintain both function and appearance. At our clinic, we carefully evaluate each case to recommend the best option for your oral health.
