Wisdom tooth extraction recovery period
I had an X-ray done last year back in my hometown which showed that my lower right wisdom tooth is tilted and pressing against the adjacent molar, occasionally causing mild pain. Now that I'm in Bangalore, I’d like to address this issue once and for all.
Additionally, I’ve recently started experiencing some discomfort from my lower left wisdom tooth as well, so I’d like to get that evaluated too.
Could you please let me know:
What would be the approximate cost for the extraction of 1 or 2 lower wisdom teeth
What’s the typical recovery period for such extractions
How soon can I book a consultation and possibly get the procedure done?
Thank you.

Hello,
1. The cost of the procedure varies depending on the location (metropolitan or semi-urban or rural areas)
The approximate cost of single wisdom tooth extraction in Bangalore can range from 5000-8000 INR
Since the procedure will be a SURGICAL EXTRACTION meaning that the doctor will drill a bit around the tooth to remove it.
2. Healing will take approximately 7 - 15 days
Right after the extraction, the doctor will give you some pain killers and antibiotics.
Some amount of swelling after the extraction is normal and expected. The swelling will subside within 3-5 days
Overall the procedure should be painless and finished within 30 min.
3. You can contact your nearest Oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMFS surgeon) Or an experienced dental surgeon and get the appointment with in 1-2 days.
Next Steps
Contact and consult the nearest OMFS surgeon.
Health Tips
1. Salt water gargle for some relief

Hi!
Since the wisdom tooth is tilted and causing discomfort, extraction will likely be required. The cost may range from ₹3,000–₹7,000 per tooth depending on the case.
I recommend getting an OPG (full mouth X-ray) done as soon as possible to assess both sides properly. The sooner you get it evaluated, the better to avoid complications.
