Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure that involves the extraction of one or more of the third molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, but they can cause a variety of issues if there isn’t enough space in the mouth for them to grow properly. Impacted wisdom teeth, which don’t have enough room to erupt or grow in the correct alignment, can lead to pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. Even if the teeth come through correctly, they can be difficult to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. The removal of wisdom teeth is typically performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Recovery times vary, but most patients can expect mild discomfort and swelling for a few days. Wisdom teeth removal helps prevent long-term dental issues and can improve overall oral health, especially if the teeth are impacted or causing problems.
Your dentist or oral surgeon will assess the condition of your wisdom teeth through X-rays and a detailed examination to determine the need for removal.
The wisdom teeth are carefully extracted under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case.
Post-surgery instructions will help manage pain, swelling, and ensure proper healing, with follow-up visits to monitor recovery.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth. Removal can also prevent overcrowding and improve overall oral health.
Wisdom teeth removal is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience some discomfort, but it can be managed with prescribed pain relievers.
Recovery time varies, but most people heal within 3-7 days. Full recovery can take a few weeks, with swelling and discomfort typically decreasing within the first few days.
It is advised to stick to soft foods and liquids for the first few days after surgery to avoid disturbing the extraction site. Avoid hot, hard, or chewy foods until your mouth heals.
