Wisdom tooth removal
Wisdom teeth often make their first appearance in late adolescence. These so-called "third molars" are remnants from early human evolution. Our ancestors had larger jaws, but today, there is no longer enough space for these eighth teeth.
The removal of wisdom teeth may be necessary for various reasons:
When issues with wisdom teeth arise later in life, patients typically visit a dentist. Often, due to a lack of space, the wisdom tooth cannot fully emerge from the gum. This can lead to the formation of a gum flap, which may cause recurring inflammation (known as "dentitio difficilis"). Patients usually notice this through a bad taste or unpleasant breath, which is
caused by bacteria trapped in the area.
​
In some cases, wisdom teeth remain deeply embedded in the bone and press against the roots of neighboring teeth. This pressure can lead to the resorption of the roots of the adjacent teeth, a condition known as "root resorption." The consequences can range from vague facial and jaw pain to tooth movement and even the death of neighboring teeth.
​
These are all potential reasons that may necessitate the removal of wisdom teeth.
​
In some cases, wisdom teeth may not need to be removed if...
However, if the wisdom teeth erupt properly, are easily accessible for daily oral hygiene, and have reached the chewing surface, there is usually no reason to remove them.
​
Our oral surgeons are happy to examine and provide you with detailed advice on whether wisdom tooth removal is recommended in your specific case.
"With the large number of patients we treat in our dental clinic, we have the necessary experience and advanced surgical equipment, including modern 3D computed tomography, to reliably operate on even complex cases involving deeply embedded and displaced wisdom teeth without causing permanent damage."

Safe removal of wisdom teeth at CLINIUS in Rheinfelden
At the beginning of the process, a thorough examination is always required. If we determine that removal is necessary, a panoramic X-ray (OPG, PSA) is usually taken. This allows us to create an accurate map of the wisdom tooth's position and the surrounding facial nerves.
​
If there are any anatomical peculiarities, we recommend three-dimensional imaging (CT, DVT). This 3D imaging provides a detailed view of the tooth's position and the course of the nerves, allowing for precise assessment and increasing the safety of the surgery.
​
We place great emphasis on gentle and careful anesthesia of the area to be operated on. Typically, a topical anesthetic spray is applied first to make the actual injection of the anesthetic less noticeable.
​
For anxious patients or those requiring additional support, we can also offer twilight sedation or general anesthesia to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Please feel free to discuss this option with us.
​
The actual procedure is conducted under strict adherence to a safety-focused surgical protocol, which prioritizes the prevention of potential surgical risks. The tooth is usually sectioned to facilitate its removal as gently as possible while leaving the surrounding tissue largely undisturbed. This approach leads to better healing and a quicker overall recovery for the patient.
​
After the procedure, the wound is sutured, and an antibacterial strip is placed. Patients receive cooling pads to help reduce the typical post-operative swelling and pain in the cheek.
​
One week after the procedure, we will remove the stitches and conduct a follow-up examination.
​
Due to the high number of wisdom tooth extractions performed at our dental clinic in Rheinfelden, our team is well-trained in providing detailed patient information and post-operative care. Additionally, you will receive medications and aids after the procedure to support optimal healing.
Good and pain-free wound healing after the surgery
After wisdom tooth removal, patients can support the healing process by following optimal behavior, including:
Avoid vigorous rinsing of the mouth
Consume a soft diet
Avoid strenuous activities
Take pain medication regularly
In most cases, discomfort significantly decreases day by day within the first five days and usually subsides completely by the seventh day. However, in some cases, this timeline may vary.
​
A rare wound infection may be indicated by a deterioration after initial improvement, such as a return of symptoms in combination with fever, fatigue, or increased swelling. However, we minimize this risk through specific intraoperative measures, making it a rare occurrence.
