Wisdom teeth extraction in Paris

Everything you need to know about dental implants.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. Although they sometimes erupt without difficulty, they can cause pain, infection or complications

Why do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Extraction is not routinely required. It is considered only when wisdom teeth pose a risk to your oral health. Our team carries out a thorough assessment using panoramic X-rays to determine whether treatment is necessary.

For example:
  • Insufficient space in the dental arch: This is the most common reason. The jaw does not have enough room for these four new teeth, preventing them from erupting properly.
  • Impacted or partially impacted teeth: The tooth remains fully or partly trapped beneath the gum or within the jawbone. This can cause severe pain or cysts, or damage the roots of the neighbouring tooth.
  • Poor positioning: A wisdom tooth growing at an angle, horizontally for example, puts pressure on the other teeth and may disrupt their alignment and cause orthodontic problems.
  • Risk of infection (pericoronitis): When a tooth has only partially erupted, a space forms between the tooth and gum where bacteria can build up. This may lead to painful infections, swelling and difficulty opening the mouth.
  • Tooth decay: Their position at the very back of the mouth makes brushing difficult. Wisdom teeth are therefore more prone to decay, which can spread to the adjacent molars.

Our approach to wisdom teeth extraction

At our dental practice in Paris, we have developed a treatment protocol centred on your comfort and safety.

Assessment before wisdom teeth extraction
Assessment before wisdom teeth extraction

The first step is a consultation with one of our practitioners. During this appointment, we carry out a comprehensive examination followed by an on-site 3D X-ray (cone beam scan). This technology provides a detailed image of the jaws, teeth and surrounding nerves. The information gathered helps us assess the position of your wisdom teeth and anticipate any potential difficulties. Our team can then plan the procedure safely and make it as minimally invasive as possible.

We explain every stage of the procedure and answer all your questions. Our aim is to ensure you feel fully informed and at ease before treatment.

Appropriate anaesthesia for wisdom teeth extraction

Wisdom teeth are removed under local anaesthesia, making the procedure entirely pain-free. Modern techniques allow the anaesthetic to take effect quickly and efficiently. For particularly anxious patients, conscious sedation options can be discussed to help you feel completely relaxed.

Wisdom teeth extraction procedure

Performed by our surgeons, the procedure generally takes between 30 and 60 minutes for all four teeth.

  • Gum incision: The surgeon makes a small incision to access the wisdom tooth.
  • Exposing the tooth: If necessary, a small amount of bone covering the tooth is carefully removed. The tooth may be divided into sections to make extraction easier and minimise trauma.
  • Tooth extraction: The tooth is gently removed.
  • Cleaning and sutures: The area is cleaned and the gum is closed with dissolvable stitches, which disappear naturally after a few days.

Aftercare: our advice for a speedy recovery

Good healing depends on following a few simple instructions. The team at Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine will give you an aftercare information sheet and remain available to answer all your questions.
  • Pain management: You will be prescribed painkillers to manage any discomfort during the following days.
  • Applying ice: To reduce swelling (oedema) and bruising, apply an ice pack intermittently to your cheek.
  • Suitable diet: Choose soft, lukewarm or cold foods, such as soups, yoghurt and purées, for the first few days.
  • Oral hygiene: Avoid brushing the treated area on the first day. After that, gentle brushing with a surgical toothbrush and prescribed antiseptic mouthwash will be recommended.
  • Rest: Plan to rest for one or two days to allow your body to recover.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs): Wisdom teeth extraction

Is it advisable to have all four wisdom teeth removed at the same time?

Yes. This is the most common approach. It means going through only one recovery period and simplifies follow-up care. Local anaesthesia is sufficient in most cases, although the procedure can be carried out in two stages depending on the circumstances or the patient's preferences.

Will I need time off work after the procedure?

Resting for 1 to 3 days is recommended to support recovery and limit post-operative discomfort, particularly if your work involves physical activity. A medical certificate can be provided if necessary.

What are the risks associated with wisdom teeth extraction?

Complications are uncommon. The main risk for lower wisdom teeth involves the mandibular nerve and may result in temporary loss of sensation. At Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine, 3D radiography allows us to assess this risk accurately and reduce it to a minimum.

At what age can wisdom teeth extraction be considered?

Between the ages of 17 and 22, when the roots are not yet fully formed. As the bone is more flexible, healing is faster. Extraction remains possible later if necessary.

Is the procedure covered by French national health insurance and private health insurance?

Yes. French national health insurance covers the procedure, although the practitioner may charge an additional fee. Your private health insurer may reimburse the remaining amount. You will receive a detailed quotation before the procedure.
