Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQ

When Is Wisdom Teeth Surgery Necessary?

Wisdom teeth removal isn’t a necessary treatment for every patient. These are some of the most common reasons to get your wisdom teeth extracted. However, we won’t know for sure if you need an extraction until we can examine your teeth in our office.

• Impacted Wisdom Teeth — When wisdom teeth are impacted that means that they are stuck underneath your gums, which can cause damage or infection.
• Wisdom Teeth Causing Crowding — If you don’t have enough room, your wisdom teeth can push on your surrounding teeth and change the alignment of your bite.
• Wisdom Teeth Erupting at an Angle — Sometimes your wisdom teeth can grow in at an angle and put pressure on the teeth around them.

Does Wisdom Teeth Removal Hurt?

Before we remove your wisdom teeth, we’ll numb the area so the most you’ll feel is pressure, not pain. Your comfort is our priority, so let our team know if you need any special accommodations before your procedure. After your oral surgery, you may experience temporary discomfort and swelling in the area of the extraction. Depending on your needs, we’ll either write you a prescription for pain medication or give you a list of recommended over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s important for you take it easy after your wisdom teeth removal and to follow the aftercare instructions. Ignoring the guidelines can cause infection, or damage to the area.

What Precautions Should I take After Wisdom Teeth Removal?

• Eat soft foods. Gradually add solid foods to your diet as healing progresses.
• Do not use a straw for the first few days. Sucking on a straw can loosen the blood clot and delay healing.
