What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually erupt sometime in your late teens or early twenties. Because your jaw is often too small to fit them comfortably, these teeth may come in at an angle, get stuck under your gums, or cause inconvenient crowding. And even if they don’t hurt yet, our team may monitor them and suggest removing them as a preventive measure.
Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but many people do. When these molars are impacted or poorly positioned, they can trap food and bacteria, leading to cavities, gum disease, and infection.
They may also push against other teeth, potentially undoing years of orthodontic work or damaging underlying structures. For example, in some cases, cysts can form around impacted teeth and damage your jawbone.
So, removing problem wisdom teeth isn’t just about pain management—it can also protect your oral health and prevent more serious complications later.
What to Expect From the Wisdom Teeth Procedure
Before your treatment, our team will take detailed X-rays and review your medical history so we can plan a safe, efficient procedure. On extraction day, your dentist will numb the area completely to ensure you don’t feel any pain.
Each tooth is then gently separated from the socket and rocked back and forth to remove it. In more complex cases, such as impaction, an incision will be made in your gums to access the tooth before removing it in small sections.
Once your teeth are out, we’ll clean the site, place stitches if necessary, and send you home to rest and recover.
Recovering From Wisdom Teeth Extraction
While the process of removing your wisdom teeth isn’t generally painful, it can be tiring. Many patients feel groggy the first day and notice some swelling for several days after wisdom tooth extractions. However, this is all normal and will fade in a few days.
Until then, plan to rest, use cold compresses, and take a few generic pain relievers to help manage any discomfort. Also, plan a menu of soft foods, avoid drinking through straws, and don't smoke or vape while you heal. If you feel something isn’t right, we’re only a phone call away, so don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance and peace of mind.
