[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Pain at the back of the mouth, swollen gums, difficulty chewing or opening your mouth? It could be your wisdom tooth starting to make itself known. <\/p>\n

For some, it goes unnoticed. For others, it becomes a real source of discomfort or pain. When this is the case, extraction is often the best solution<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

At the dental office of Laclinic-Montreux, we guide you step by step for an extraction that is controlled, gentle, and stress-free<\/strong>, always prioritizing your comfort and safety.<\/p>\n

Why Extract the Wisdom Tooth?<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” link_font=”||||on|||#000000|” link_text_color=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f3ee2d99-c588-4c11-a1ed-4bfec7e48d5b%22:%91%22link_text_color__hover%22%93}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” link_text_color__hover=”#baae92″]<\/p>\n

Not all wisdom teeth cause problems<\/strong>. But in some cases, their position, orientation, or lack of space in the jaw leads to complications: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Pain or pressure in the jaw<\/li>\n
  • Inflammation or infection of the gum (pericoronitis)<\/li>\n
  • Cavities on the wisdom tooth or neighboring molar<\/li>\n
  • Cyst or bone resorption<\/li>\n
  • Orthodontic appliance to protect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    An X-ray allows for a quick assessment of the situation.<\/p>\n

    If extraction is necessary, it’s better not to wait for severe pain to develop.<\/p>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    A Controlled and Secure Procedure<\/h2>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” link_font=”||||on||||” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f3ee2d99-c588-4c11-a1ed-4bfec7e48d5b%22:%91%22link_text_color__hover%22%93}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” link_text_color__hover=”#baae92″]<\/p>\n

    Wisdom tooth extraction<\/strong> can be simple or more complex, depending on its position (straight, tilted, impacted in the bone…).<\/p>\n

    We perform a complete clinical and radiological assessment<\/strong> before any decision.<\/p>\n

    The procedure:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Powerful local anesthesia for painless treatment
      Controlled opening if necessary<\/li>\n
    • Gentle removal of the tooth<\/li>\n
    • Sutures if needed<\/li>\n
    • Precise post-operative advice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In the most complex cases, surgery under sedation or general anesthesia<\/strong> may be considered with a partner specialist.<\/p>\n

      Is It Painful?<\/h2>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      The procedure itself is not painful<\/strong> thanks to well-managed anesthesia.<\/p>\n

      After the treatment, mild pain or swelling may occur for 2 to 3 days, but they are easily controlled<\/strong> with pain relievers and rest.<\/p>\n

      Good post-operative follow-up allows you to recover quickly and peacefully.<\/p>\n

      At What Age Should It Be Considered?<\/h2>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      The majority of extractions take place between 16 and 25 years old<\/strong>, when wisdom teeth finish their development.<\/p>\n

      The earlier the intervention (before the roots are fully formed), the simpler it is and the faster the recovery.<\/p>\n
