Uijeongbu Wisdom Teeth, Analysed with 3D CT First
If you are looking into wisdom tooth extraction in Uijeongbu, it is known that prior diagnosis matters, because the difficulty varies with the position of the wisdom tooth and its distance from the nerve. Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital is at 181 Hoeryong-ro, Uijeongbu-si, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, and we assess the distance to the inferior alveolar nerve canal in advance with 3D CT, which helps in reviewing the risks beforehand.
Wisdom tooth extraction in Uijeongbu — what should you check?
A wisdom tooth that has come through straight is relatively simple to remove with an ordinary extraction, but it is known that an impacted wisdom tooth buried in the jawbone or one lying close to the nerve is more demanding. Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital confirms the distance between the wisdom tooth and the inferior alveolar nerve canal in advance with 3D CT, which helps in reviewing risks such as altered sensation beforehand, and specialists including oral & maxillofacial surgery take part in the care.
Where fear of extraction is considerable, or where several teeth need to be removed at once, extraction under conscious sedation can be applied as an option. Suitability varies with overall health, so it has to be checked in advance, and swelling and pain after extraction are reported generally to improve within a few days, though they may last longer with an impacted tooth.
We are a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hoeryong Station in Uijeongbu, and with night hours until 20:00 on Mondays and Thursdays and weekend hours on Saturdays and Sundays, you can have the extraction and follow-up checks after weekday work or at the weekend. After the extraction we also explain precautions such as avoiding straws and vigorous rinsing, to help prevent a dry socket (loss of the blood clot).

Frequently asked questions
- Q. Do wisdom teeth always have to be removed?
- Not every wisdom tooth has to be removed, and it is known that a tooth that has come through straight and can be kept clean is sometimes simply monitored. However, extraction is often recommended where the tooth is impacted, where the surrounding gum swells frequently, or where it pushes the tooth in front or causes decay or gum disease. At Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, we confirm the position and the distance from the nerve with 3D CT and then explain whether extraction is needed.
- Q. Does wisdom tooth extraction hurt a lot? Can it be done under sedation?
- Extraction is carried out under local anesthesia, and it is known that there may be swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards. Where fear of extraction is considerable or several teeth need to be removed at once, extraction under conscious sedation can be applied as an option, and its suitability is checked in advance according to overall health. We also explain pain-management methods during the consultation.
- Q. How should I look after the site after a wisdom tooth extraction?
- For about 24 hours after the extraction, bite on gauze to control bleeding, and it is recommended that you avoid straws and vigorous rinsing, as these risk dislodging the blood clot and causing a dry socket. It is better to eat soft foods and to finish the medication as prescribed. If swelling or pain steadily worsens, or if you have a fever, we recommend having it checked without delay.
