Wisdom Tooth Extraction In Dubai: Everything You Need to Know

Wisdom tooth extraction in Dubai is a common dental surgery. The third molars, or wisdom teeth, usually come in when people are between 17 and 25 years old. Their teeth often do not have enough room to grow the right way. This can cause pain, infections, or problems with other teeth nearby.

When Does a Wisdom Tooth Need to Be Removed?

A dentist will usually say to remove it when:

• The tooth is impacted. It stays under the gum or bone.
• A partial eruption makes a flap of gum. Food and bacteria get stuck there. This can cause infection, called pericoronitis.
• The wisdom tooth pushes against the molar next to it and can harm it.
• A cyst forms around the tooth that stays stuck.
• There is not enough room for the tooth. Orthodontic treatment is planned.

If the wisdom tooth has come in all the way, is in the right spot, and you can clean it well, you may not need to get it taken out.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction In Dubai — The Procedure

The dentist will do a full checkup and take an OPG or CBCT X-ray to see where the tooth is. The dentist then removes the tooth under local anaesthesia. A simple extraction usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. If the tooth is stuck, the dentist may take more time and cut it into parts to remove it safely. The dentist may also place stitches, and they usually dissolve on their own within 7 to 10 days.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction In Dubai — Cost

• Simple extraction: AED 400–800 for each tooth
• Surgical extraction (impacted): AED 800–1,800 for each tooth
• Panoramic OPG X-ray: AED 150–250 (most times, it is part of the consultation)

FAQs

Q1. How long is the recovery after wisdom tooth removal?

Most people feel back to normal in about 3 to 5 days. It will take about 4 to 6 weeks for the socket to fully heal. The first 24 hours are very important. You should rest, do not rinse your mouth, and leave the place where the tooth was alone.

Q2. What is dry socket, and how do I avoid it?

Dry socket happens when the blood clot that covers the socket comes out too soon. This can bring severe pain. To keep this from happening, do not smoke. Do not drink with a straw. Do not spit hard during the first 24 hours after the dentist removes your tooth.

Q3. Can a dentist remove all four wisdom teeth at once?

Doctors usually perform this procedure while the patient is under IV sedation, which helps the patient feel comfortable. Removing all four teeth at once saves time, but the patient needs more recovery time than they would if the dentist removed one tooth during each session.

Q4. Does insurance cover the procedure?

Most dental insurance plans in Dubai cover wisdom tooth removal when dentists recommend it for health reasons, such as impacted teeth or infections. They may not pay if you want the tooth taken out just to be safe.

Q5. How soon can I go back to work?

Many people can go back to desk work the day after this. If your job needs more physical work, it is best to take two or three days to rest. Do not do any exercise for at least two days. This will help lower the risk of bleeding.
