Your wisdom teeth, also known as your third molars, are located at the back of your mouth and typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they’re your last teeth to erupt, they can often cause problems if they don’t have enough space to grow in properly. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth.
The good news is that wisdom teeth are no longer necessary and can be safely removed with fast and effective oral surgery to prevent future problems.

The main benefits of getting your wisdom teeth removed include:
The prevention of complications such as pain, infection, and damage to other teeth.
Root canals save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for more expensive procedures like implants or bridges. They are also a time-efficient solution, requiring fewer follow-up visits compared to alternatives.
Alleviates discomfort caused by impacted, infected, or overcrowded wisdom teeth.
Extraction eliminates the risk of infections or cysts caused by impacted wisdom teeth.
The process typically begins with a consultation where we can evaluate the need for removal. The surgeon will discuss anesthesia options and provide preoperative instructions.
Patients should follow the preoperative instructions we provide. This may include avoiding certain medications, eating a light meal before the procedure, and arranging for someone to drive them home.
During the procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered to the gum line to ensure comfort, and the surgeon will make a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the impacted tooth. The tooth will be carefully removed, and the extraction site will be closed with stitches if necessary.
Patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort after the procedure. The healing process typically takes a few days and recovery can be smooth if the post-extraction instructions are followed.
Proper care is essential for a smooth and comfortable recovery. To ensure the quickest recovery and minimize the risk of complications, it’s important to follow post-operative instructions, including pain and swelling management, diet restrictions, oral hygiene, and rest.
A cold compress can be applied to the cheek to reduce swelling, and patients should avoid using a straw to protect the empty socket. Soft foods should be eaten for a few days after the procedure to avoid discomfort.
Patients should also monitor for signs of infection, such as increased pain, swelling, or bleeding, and attend any follow-up appointments.

Some of the main questions surrounding wisdom teeth:
Wisdom teeth often cause problems like overcrowding, impaction, or infection when they don’t have enough space to grow properly. Removing them can prevent pain, swelling, and potential damage to surrounding teeth.
With modern anesthesia and sedation options, the procedure itself is painless. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur during recovery, but this can be managed with prescribed medication and proper aftercare.
Recovery typically takes a few days, during which rest and soft foods are recommended. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions is crucial to promote healing and avoid complications.
Most people have their wisdom teeth removed in their late teens or early twenties, as the roots are not fully developed and recovery is faster. However, the timing varies depending on individual dental needs and the presence of symptoms.
Wisdom teeth removal can be a life-changing procedure for patients who experience pain or discomfort due to impacted wisdom teeth.
With a focus on comfort and care, we can help alleviate discomfort and prevent future problems with professional wisdom teeth removal with a personal touch. Our experienced oral surgeon specializes in wisdom teeth removal, so you can relax knowing you’re in the safest hands possible.
