Strongest Teeth, Weakest Moments
Teeth are built like warriors — tougher than bone, designed to last their lifetime.
However, even the strongest warrior can cause a little chaos.
Ask anyone who has had a wisdom tooth flare-up — it always starts small. A dull ache. A bit of swelling. And then suddenly, you’re up at 2 a.m., clutching your jaw, wondering why something that’s supposed to make you “wise” hurts this much.
At Partha Dental, one of the best dental clinics in Kakinada, we’ve seen it all — the midnight calls, the swollen cheeks, the “Doc, just pull it out!” moments. So, let us talk about when your wisdom tooth becomes more trouble than it is worth, and what you can do about it.

So, When Do You Actually Need to Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Not all wisdom teeth require removal.
Some stay quiet throughout their lives. Others — well, they start acting like the noisy neighbour no one asked for.
Here is when you should really start paying attention:
- That nagging pain at the back of your mouth that will not quit.
- Swollen gums or a weird, bad taste after brushing.
- Pain while chewing, especially on one side.
- Headache or jaw stiffness that seems unrelated.
- Or, your other teeth start crowding or shifting.
If any of that sounds familiar, it is time for an X-ray. You might be surprised at the angle at which your wisdom tooth is growing.
The Trouble-Makers: Common Wisdom Tooth Issues
Let us break down the usual suspects.
1. The Infected Wisdom Tooth
Ever noticed how food always gets stuck back there? When bacteria are trapped under the gum covering of a half-erupted tooth, it leads to infection ( pericoronitis). It is painful — and it will not fix itself.
2. The Decayed Wisdom Tooth
Because they are hard to reach, wisdom teeth are often neglected. Brushing does not always get there, and cavities quietly set in.
3. The Sideways Sprinter
This one’s dramatic. The tooth grows sideways, pressing against its neighbour and causing jaw pain or shifting of the bite. There is only one fix — removal.
What Happens During Wisdom Tooth Removal?
We get it. “Extraction” sounds scary. However, truth be told — it is quick, clean, and almost painless.
Here is what really happens at Partha Dental during wisdom tooth removal in Kakinada:
- You are given a local anaesthetic, so you do not feel a thing.
- The dentist made a tiny incision (only if needed).
- The tooth is gently rocked and removed; there are no horror scenes here.
- The area is cleaned and stitched, and you are done.
Average time? 30–45 minutes. You will spend more time deciding what soft food to eat afterwards!
Aftercare – Healing Like a Pro
Recovery is a breeze if you play by the rules. Here’s your quick cheat sheet:
- Ice packs are your best friends on the first day.
- Stick to soft foods — soup, smoothies, mashed potatoes, ice cream.
- No straws, no smoking. They mess the healing clot.
- After 24 hours, start saltwater rinses.
- And yes, take your meds as prescribed.
Follow that, and you’ll be back to normal in about a week.
“Does Wisdom Tooth Removal Hurt?” – The Question Everyone Asks
Honestly? Not really.
You might feel a little pressure during the procedure, but no pain. Once it’s out, the discomfort feels like a sore muscle after a workout — temporary and manageable.
Most of our patients say afterward, “I should’ve done this earlier.”
Side Effects? Sure — But Nothing Scary
A little swelling? Normal.
Mild bleeding or stiffness? Totally fine.
Think of it like your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something just changed here.”
With a good dentist (and proper care), you’ll be perfectly fine in a few days.
Healing Timeline – How Long Until You’re Back to Normal
- Day 1–3: Slight soreness, mild swelling.
- Day 4–7: You’re already eating comfortably.
- Week 3–4: The bone heals, and you forget you ever had a problem tooth.
