At Partha Dental, we meet countless people coming in for Wisdom Tooth Removal in Bhimavaram — some holding an ice pack, some half-smiling through the pain, and others just tired of that throbbing jaw ache that keeps coming back.
Here’s the thing: not every wisdom tooth deserves eviction. Some behave just fine.
But the stubborn ones? They can cause swelling, infections, or even push against your other teeth if ignored for too long.

What Exactly Are Wisdom Teeth?
Think of them as the late guests to a crowded party — showing up between ages 17 and 25 when there’s barely any space left.
Our ancestors needed them to grind hard food, but modern jaws are smaller. Less room means these teeth often grow crooked, sideways, or half-stuck under the gum. And when that happens, pain, swelling, and infection are never far behind.
How Do You Know If It’s Time for Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Pain isn’t the only clue. Sometimes, wisdom teeth grow quietly until they suddenly start causing trouble.
Your mouth usually sends warning signs like:
- A dull ache or pressure at the back of your mouth
- Swelling or tenderness near the gums
- Redness, bad breath, or bleeding
- Trouble opening your mouth fully
- Shifting or crowding of nearby teeth
One of our patients once said, “It felt like I was biting down on a rock.” That’s a classic sign of an impacted tooth.
If this sounds familiar, it’s time to visit Partha Dental, Bhimavaram for a quick check-up. A simple X-ray tells us whether your wisdom tooth has room to grow or if it’s trapped under the gum.
When Should You Remove a Wisdom Tooth?
“Pain isn’t always the villain. Sometimes, it’s the silence before trouble.”
Wisdom tooth removal isn’t always about pain — it’s also about prevention.
You might need an extraction if:
- The tooth is impacted (stuck under the gum or bone)
- It’s growing sideways and pressing against another tooth
- You’re getting repeated gum infections
- A cyst or swelling forms around it
- It’s affecting orthodontic results or damaging nearby teeth
Removing a wisdom tooth early, before the roots fully develop, makes recovery smoother and faster.
When Can You Keep Your Wisdom Tooth?
Not every wisdom tooth needs to go. You can safely keep them if:
- They’ve come out straight and are properly aligned
- You can clean them easily while brushing
- There’s no pain, swelling, or gum trouble
- They’re not pressing on other teeth
Your dentist might still suggest regular X-rays to ensure nothing changes over time. Because even a calm wisdom tooth can cause chaos later if neglected.
How the Extraction Happens (And Why It’s Not as Scary as You Think)
The word “extraction” can sound intimidating, but modern dentistry has made it a simple, almost painless experience.
Here’s how it happens at Partha Dental, Bhimavaram:
- Assessment and X-ray: We check how the tooth is positioned and how deep the roots go.
- Anaesthesia: The area is completely numbed — you won’t feel pain, only gentle pressure.
- Access: For impacted teeth, a tiny gum opening is made.
- Removal: The tooth is carefully loosened and lifted out.
- Closure: The site is cleaned, stitched if needed, and packed for healing.
You’ll walk out the same day — numb for a while, but relieved that the pain is gone.
Does Wisdom Tooth Removal Hurt?
During the procedure, no. Anaesthesia ensures complete comfort.
Afterwards, you might feel mild soreness or swelling for a few days, but it’s manageable with prescribed medication.
To heal faster:
- Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Eat soft foods like curd rice, soups, and smoothies
- Avoid straws for a few days
- Keep the area clean, but brush gently
Most patients recover fully in about a week — often saying, “That wasn’t bad at all.”
Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed as Soon as They Appear?
Not always.
When a wisdom tooth begins to erupt, your dentist will usually monitor it first. If it’s growing straight and healthy, there’s no rush.
But if X-rays show there’s no room or it’s starting to tilt, early removal is better.
The longer you wait, the more difficult the extraction can become. So don’t panic, but don’t ignore it either.
