DENTAL SURGERY · HORIZON CENTER
Impacted wisdom teeth · A decision based on your assessment.
A wisdom tooth may lack space, remain beneath the gum or grow in an unfavourable position. At Horizon Center in Casablanca, Dr Houda Agunaou assesses your situation before discussing monitoring or removal. The consultation helps you understand the reason for treatment, precautions and stages of care.
YOUR DENTIST
At Horizon Center, Dr Houda Agunaou assesses your wisdom teeth and explains the proposed care. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss discomfort, expectations and the stages of your proposed care.
YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
Assessment and reviews take place at the practice, which you can explore before your visit.
Assessment establishes the position of the tooth and its roots. A panoramic X-ray and, in selected situations, 3D imaging may be indicated. The practice has 2D radiology and 3D cone beam equipment; each examination is chosen according to its usefulness in your case.
Anaesthesia and technique are discussed before the procedure. Depending on the position, access may require an opening in the gum and dividing the tooth into sections. Stitches may be placed. Cases requiring specialist management may be referred.
Pain, swelling or difficulty opening your mouth can occur afterwards. Follow personalised instructions on food, hygiene and medication. Smoking can affect healing. Ask when to resume your activities and how to contact the practice if difficulties arise.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Anaesthesia aims to control pain during treatment, although pressure sensations may remain. Report any pain immediately during the procedure. Recovery varies, and your dentist will explain how discomfort can be managed.
Recovery depends on the difficulty of the procedure and your circumstances. Allow time to rest and ask for advice suited to your work or sporting activities. Returning to daily activities does not mean healing is complete.
Risks include bleeding, infection and dry socket. Some lower wisdom teeth close to a nerve carry a risk of altered sensation in the lip, chin or tongue, which may sometimes be lasting. Assessment allows risks specific to your case to be discussed.
Contact the practice promptly for significant bleeding, severe or increasing pain, fever or worsening swelling. Difficulty breathing or swallowing requires urgent medical attention. Do not wait for a scheduled review if these signs occur.
This depends on the teeth involved, their position and the planned care setting. Ask about the benefits and constraints of one session or several appointments, particularly for eating and recovery.
An estimate depends on the number of teeth, complexity and required investigations. Ask what follow-up is included. For an assessment at Horizon Center, City Office CFC, first floor, office A6, call 06 64 52 32 41 or contact the practice on WhatsApp.
