FAQs
What are wisdom teeth and why do they need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually appear in late teens or early twenties. They often cause crowding, infection, or pain, which leads many dentists to recommend removal before complications arise.
Is wisdom teeth extraction painful?
We ensure your comfort by using local anesthesia or sedation during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterward are normal, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days with proper care.
How long does recovery take after wisdom teeth removal?
Most patients recover within one to two weeks. Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions, such as eating soft foods and avoiding strenuous activity, helps speed up healing.
Can I eat before my wisdom teeth removal appointment?
If sedation will be used, it’s usually recommended to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before your appointment. Our staff will provide specific guidelines tailored to your treatment plan.
When should I schedule a wisdom teeth evaluation for my child?
Many dentists suggest evaluating wisdom teeth development around ages 16 to 18. Early assessment can prevent complications and allow for timely extraction if needed.
