Common Questions About Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so you shouldn't feel pain during surgery, though some soreness is normal afterward.
This depends on the procedure — minor surgery may need just a few days, while more complex cases can take a week or more.
Not always — many procedures are comfortably done under local anaesthesia, though sedation can be offered for more complex or anxiety-inducing cases.
This includes impacted teeth, jaw cysts, facial trauma, and other conditions affecting the teeth, jaw or soft tissue.
Medicine may reduce pain temporarily, but it cannot fix a badly placed wisdom tooth. A scan helps decide whether cleaning, monitoring, or removal is the safer long-term choice. It also makes follow-up easier.
Look for a clinic that explains numbing, scan need, tooth position, and after-care clearly. Apurva Dental Care focuses on planned care so extraction feels less stressful for anxious patients. That makes decision-making easier.
Swelling near a tooth can mean infection and should be checked quickly. Delaying may increase pain, fever, or difficulty opening the mouth, especially around wisdom teeth. This reduces rushed treatment decisions.
Simple removals may allow light work next day, but difficult wisdom tooth surgery can need rest. Swelling, pain, bleeding, and your job type decide the safest return. This supports safer treatment planning.
Yes, daily gum bleeding should be checked. It may improve with professional cleaning and home care, but untreated gum problems can slowly affect tooth support and breath. This keeps expectations more realistic.
