Wisdom Tooth Removal in Bangkok

Wisdom teeth are the last molars, often emerging tilted or trapped under the gum around age 17–25. Left alone they trap food and bacteria, causing recurring gum infections, decay in the neighbouring tooth, and occasionally cysts in the jawbone. Removal is a routine procedure for our four oral surgeons — done under local anaesthetic in 30–60 minutes, always planned on an X-ray first.

Signs your wisdom tooth needs attention

• Recurring pain at the very back of the jaw
• Swollen, inflamed gum behind the last molar
• Food trapping and bad breath
• Limited mouth opening or pain when chewing
• X-ray shows the tooth pressing on its neighbour

What removal involves

1. 1
   Exam and panoramic X-ray — you’ll know whether it’s a simple extraction or surgical removal, and the price, before starting
2. 2
   Local anaesthetic — no pain during the procedure
3. 3
   Removal (30–60 minutes) — surgical cases involve lifting the gum and sectioning the tooth
4. 4
   Stitches, aftercare instructions and medication, with suture removal about a week later
