Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. For some people, they emerge without problems and cause no discomfort, but in most cases, their eruption is accompanied by discomfort, gum inflammation, and even displacement of adjacent teeth. This is due to the evolutionary reduction of the modern human jaw, and there is often simply not enough space for third molars.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that can prevent many future problems. At the Veda Stom clinic in Tashkent, removal is performed painlessly and safely, using modern anesthesia techniques.
When is wisdom tooth removal necessary?
Although a wisdom tooth is a fully functional chewing organ, in many cases its removal is a necessity rather than an option. One of the main reasons for extraction is malposition. Due to a lack of space, it can grow at an angle or even horizontally, pressing against the adjacent tooth and damaging its root.
Removal is also required if:
- The tooth has partially erupted and is causing inflammation of the gums (pericoronitis), accompanied by swelling, pain and bad breath.
- Caries developed due to difficulty accessing the tooth for cleaning. In such cases, caries progresses rapidly and can spread to adjacent teeth.
- Wisdom teeth cause a misaligned bite, displacement of other teeth, or pain in the jaw joint.
- A cyst forms under the root of the tooth, which can lead to the destruction of bone tissue.
- Orthodontic treatment is being carried out (braces, aligners) and it is necessary to remove the extra tooth to properly distribute the load.
If a wisdom tooth has erupted correctly, is not causing discomfort, and is not damaging surrounding tissue, it can be saved, but it is important to have it checked regularly by a dentist.
Methods of wisdom tooth removal
The extraction procedure can be simple or complex, depending on the position of the tooth.
- Easy removal This procedure is performed if the tooth has fully erupted and its roots are aligned. The doctor anesthetizes the area, gently loosens the tooth with instruments, and extracts it.
- Complex removal This is necessary if the tooth is tilted, has not erupted, or has a complex root shape. In this case, an incision is made in the gum, the tooth is fragmented, and it is extracted in stages.
Each case is unique, so before the procedure, Veda Stom conducts a thorough diagnostic examination, including 3D tomography. This allows the doctor to determine the root position in advance and avoid complications.
How does the operation take place at Veda Stom?
Wisdom tooth removal at the Veda Stom clinic in Tashkent is a multi-stage procedure:
- Diagnostics and planning
The doctor conducts an examination, takes an X-ray or 3D scan to assess the position of the tooth and possible complications during extraction. - Anesthesia
For complete patient comfort, local anesthesia is used, and in complex cases, sedation (medication-induced sleep) may be used, making the procedure completely painless. - Tooth extraction
After administering anesthesia, the dentist carefully extracts the tooth. If the extraction is complex, the gum is incised, the tooth is divided, and the wound is then sutured. - Status monitoring and recommendations
After surgery, the doctor explains how to care for the socket to avoid inflammation and speed up healing.
Thanks to modern anesthesia methods and the experience of our specialists, wisdom tooth removal at Veda Stom is comfortable and stress-free.
Recommendations for care after removal

For the first few hours, avoid eating, drinking hot beverages, and rinsing your mouth to avoid disturbing the protective blood clot. It's best to avoid physical activity and smoking for the first 24 hours, as these can trigger inflammation and bleeding.
On the second day, gentle rinsing with an antiseptic solution and following a soft diet are permitted. If severe pain, swelling, or fever occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
