Wisdom tooth extraction - Utrecht

Wisdom tooth removal: the treatment

The treatment for removing your wisdom tooth consists of 3 steps: taking photos, removing your tooth and then the aftercare. We will explain the different steps to you:

Step 1: X-rays:

If you are having trouble with your wisdom tooth, we will invite you to our practice. Here we will take a photo of your teeth and check whether the tooth is growing crooked. If this is the case, your tooth will probably have to be extracted. It is also possible that your gums are inflamed or that your wisdom tooth is too deep in your gums. To solve this, we will refer you to the oral surgeon.

Step 2: wisdom tooth removal:

If we have determined that your wisdom tooth needs to be extracted, we will schedule an appointment for this. During the appointment, we will give you an anesthetic to make the treatment as painless as possible. The dentist will then make an incision or move your gums to one side. After this, the dentist will pull out your tooth and stitch the wound.

Step 3: aftercare:

A few hours after the treatment, the anesthetic will wear off. We advise you to take a painkiller to help with the pain in your mouth. It is important that you do not rinse your mouth on the day of the treatment. Rinsing your mouth can cause the stitches to open. You can drink and brush your teeth that day.

The basic insurance covers the costs of extracting your wisdom tooth until you are 18^th year of age. If you are 18 or older, this treatment is not covered by the basic insurance. However, supplementary dental insurance often covers the costs of the procedure. Consult your health insurer if you want more information about this.
