Wisdom Tooth Removal in Baku: When You Need It and Recovery Tips
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often don’t have enough space to come in properly. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, bad taste, and damage to nearby teeth.
When removal is recommended
- Repeated infection (pericoronitis) around a partially erupted tooth
- Impaction causing pain, swelling, or jaw stiffness
- Decay in the wisdom tooth or the adjacent molar
- Cyst formation or gum/bone damage
What to expect during the appointment
- Exam + X‑ray/CBCT to assess roots and nerve position
- Local anesthesia (sedation options depend on clinic)
- Simple vs surgical extraction based on impaction
- Post‑op instructions and planned follow‑up
Recovery tips (safe basics)
- Cold compress for the first 24 hours (intermittent)
- Soft diet, avoid smoking and straws
- Gentle saltwater rinses after the first day
- Follow prescribed medication instructions
