Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Howick
Wisdom teeth (third molars) may cause pain and infection if there is inadequate space for them to grow properly. When this happens, they often become impacted inside the bone or under neighbouring healthy teeth. To eliminate your pain and risk of recurring complications, wisdom tooth removal is usually recommended.

Sedation During Your Oral Surgery
Dr Pulkit Kinra takes added measures to ensure your safety and relaxation during every procedure, especially wisdom tooth extractions. In most cases, he performs the surgery under intravenous (IV) or oral sedation for added comfort. Since you’ll be drowsy for a few hours, it’s important to have someone accompany you to and from the appointment.
Recovering After Wisdom Tooth Removal
We recommend stocking up on soft, cool foods, such as yogurt, smoothies and ice cream. For the first few days, do your best to eat a soft diet and remain hydrated. Dr Pulkit will also provide you with special care instructions to improve your recovery and reduce the risk of swelling or bleeding after your extractions.
To ease your recovery time, we will also prescribe medications to help manage inflammation and post-operative discomfort. Always be sure to take your medicine as directed. You can contact us at any time if you are experiencing significant discomfort or signs of an infection (such as a dry socket).
Do I Need My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Our clinic is equipped with cutting-edge 3D intraoral scanning tools, allowing us to capture a full view of your oral and skeletal anatomy. Dr Pulkit will evaluate your scan to determine whether third molar removal is recommended.
