Hi sir, recovery is cofactorial process. Your tooth position, dentist skill and your habits. All are linked together. Use of lasers during surgery will pace up healing. No deleterious habits will boost your healing and ofcourse the position of your tooth which cannot be seen via naked eye. An xray (opg) or rvg is advisable.tq.keep smiling

Get an opg done so that we can evaluate the type of impaction. The surgical extraction will be done under Local Anesthesia only. After the procedure u will have mild discomfort for a week. The swelling initially increases in 24 hours and slowly subside after that .You will have mild difficulty while opening the mouth . If your Tooth is too close to the nerve below you might have mild parasthesia for a week or 2 .All this will become normal after a week. You need to take soft diet for couple of days . Apply ice fermentation immediately after the extraction to reduce the swelling . And also if u don’t have any other medical conditions you can request your dentist to give you a stat dose of inj Decadron 8mg (corticosteroid) got reduction of the swelling .
