Oral Surgery in Gandhinagar
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often require extraction when there isn’t enough space for them to fully erupt through the gum line. In such cases, the teeth may grow abnormally, becoming impacted in the jawbone or beneath the oral mucosa. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause significant pain, swelling, and even infections, necessitating surgical removal. At Nova Dental Hospital in Gandhinagar, we specialize in safe and effective wisdom teeth extraction to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.
Cyst Removal
Cysts in the oral cavity can be effectively treated through surgical intervention. Dr. Happy Patel and our experienced team use advanced techniques, including laser technology, to perform minimally invasive cyst removal, ensuring faster recovery and optimal results.

Post-Extraction Care Instructions
Following a tooth extraction, it is crucial to follow proper aftercare to ensure optimal healing:
- Control Bleeding: Firmly bite the gauze placed over the wound for one hour (30 minutes for baby teeth). If bleeding persists, replace the gauze and continue biting for another 30 minutes to an hour.
- Avoid Rinsing: Do not rinse your mouth vigorously for the first 24 hours. Gently brush your teeth after meals but avoid touching the wound.
- Saltwater Rinse: After the first 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm saltwater (1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water) several times a day to promote healing.
- Medications: Take prescribed medications as directed by your dentist.
- Dietary Precautions: Avoid consuming hot foods as they may promote bleeding from the extraction site.
Post-Local Anesthesia Care Instructions
After receiving local anesthesia, specific precautions are necessary to ensure safety and comfort:
- Prevent Injuries: Avoid chewing or biting the lips, cheeks, or tongue while the area is numb. Numbness typically wears off within 2-3 hours.
- Chew Carefully: During the first 24 hours, chew food using the untreated side of the mouth.
- Healing Bites: If the lips or tongue are accidentally bitten, the wound may swell and develop a white or yellowish plaque. Do not apply any medication or rub the area. The wound will naturally heal within 7-10 days without leaving a scar. Pain relief medication may be taken if necessary.
