Relief From Pain, Swelling, and Repeated Infection

Wisdom tooth pain can disrupt everything

Many patients come in saying,
“My jaw hurts,”
“My face is swollen,”
“I can’t chew properly,”
or
“This tooth keeps getting infected.”

Wisdom teeth often cause problems because there is not enough space for them to grow properly. When left untreated, they can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to nearby teeth.

At OmaBod Dental Clinic in Accra, we provide safe and careful wisdom tooth removal to relieve discomfort and protect your oral health.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people never have issues with them, but many experience problems because the teeth grow at an angle or get trapped under the gums.

These are known as impacted wisdom teeth.

Common Problems Caused by Wisdom Teeth

You may need wisdom tooth removal if you experience:

  • Persistent pain at the back of the mouth
  • Swelling of the gums or face
  • Repeated infections around the wisdom tooth
  • Difficulty opening your mouth
  • Bad breath or unpleasant taste
  • Pressure or damage to nearby teeth

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious complications.

When Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Necessary?

Removal is recommended when:

  • The tooth is impacted or partially erupted
  • There is repeated infection or inflammation
  • The tooth is causing crowding or damage
  • Pain keeps returning
  • Cleaning the area becomes difficult

Not all wisdom teeth need removal, but problematic ones should not be ignored.

What Happens During Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Your treatment may include:

  • Examination and X-rays to assess the tooth position
  • Local anesthesia to keep you comfortable
  • Gentle removal of the wisdom tooth
  • Cleaning of the area
  • Clear aftercare instructions for proper healing

The procedure is handled with care and precision.

Is Wisdom Tooth Removal Painful?

The procedure itself is not painful due to anesthesia. Some swelling or discomfort afterward is normal and usually improves within a few days.

We guide you on pain control, diet, and oral care to support healing.

Recovery and Aftercare

After wisdom tooth removal, patients are advised to:

  • Rest for the first 24 hours
  • Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
  • Eat soft foods
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol
  • Keep the area clean without aggressive rinsing
  • Follow all post-procedure instructions

Proper aftercare helps prevent complications such as dry socket.

Wisdom Tooth Removal for Young Adults

Many patients choose removal in their late teens or early twenties to avoid future complications. Early removal often means:

  • Faster healing
  • Fewer complications
  • Less damage to surrounding teeth
