What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are the last set of molars to erupt, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they’re the last teeth to come in, there’s often not enough room in the jaw for them to grow properly — leading them to become impacted (stuck below the gumline or growing at an angle), which can cause pain, crowding, infection, or cysts if left untreated.
Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Need Attention
Common warning signs include pain or tenderness at the back of the jaw, swollen or bleeding gums near the back molars, difficulty opening your mouth fully, and persistent bad breath or an unpleasant taste caused by trapped food and bacteria around a partially erupted tooth. If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s worth getting evaluated before the problem worsens.
The Extraction Process
At Dr. Emerico’s Dental Clinic, we begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to assess exactly how your wisdom teeth are positioned. Depending on the case, the extraction is performed under local anesthesia at our Margao clinic. Our team carries out careful removal of impacted third molars, and you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support smooth, comfortable healing.
Why Choose Dr. Emerico's for Wisdom Tooth Removal in Margao
Impacted wisdom teeth rarely resolve on their own and often worsen over time — early evaluation means a simpler procedure and easier recovery.
Why Early Evaluation Helps
Impacted wisdom teeth that are left unaddressed can lead to infection, cysts, and damage to the roots of neighboring molars over time. Evaluating them in your late teens or early twenties, even before symptoms appear, often means a more straightforward procedure and a smoother recovery than waiting until the tooth becomes painful or infected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No — if a wisdom tooth has erupted fully, is properly positioned, and can be cleaned effectively, it may not need removal. We’ll assess yours individually using a digital X-ray.
How do I know if my wisdom tooth is impacted?
Common signs include pain at the back of the jaw, swollen or bleeding gums, and difficulty fully opening your mouth — but an X-ray gives the clearest picture, since impacted teeth aren’t always visible.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during removal. Some swelling and discomfort for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed care.
How long is recovery after wisdom tooth extraction?
Most patients recover within a week, though full healing of the extraction site can take several weeks. We’ll give you specific aftercare guidance based on your procedure.
At what age should wisdom teeth be checked?
Most people start needing evaluation in their late teens to mid-twenties, when wisdom teeth typically begin to erupt — earlier evaluation generally means simpler treatment if removal is needed.
