At some point in their lives, most people will require the removal of their wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the back of the mouth. Sometimes, they can cause pain, swelling, and infection. Wisdom teeth may also grow in at an angle, causing crowding and shifting of other teeth. The procedure for removing wisdom teeth is straightforward and can usually be done under local anesthesia. However, sedation is also available upon request for those who are nervous or anxious about the procedure.
During the wisdom teeth extraction procedure, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue and remove any bone that is covering the tooth. The tooth is then removed, sometimes in pieces, and the area is cleaned of any debris. The dentist will then stitch the gum tissue back together, and gauze is placed over the extraction site to control bleeding. After the procedure, patients are provided with post-operative instructions, such as how to care for the extraction site, what foods to avoid, and when to return for a follow-up appointment.
It is important to address any tooth pain or discomfort as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection. Our experienced team of dental professionals uses the latest techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and efficient extraction process. Sedation is also available upon request to help alleviate any anxiety or discomfort. If you think you may need a tooth extraction, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with one of our knowledgeable dentists to discuss your options and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs.

Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that usually emerge in the late teens or early twenties.
Many people do not have enough room in their mouth to accommodate their wisdom teeth. When the teeth do not have enough room to grow in properly, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Your dentist or oral surgeon will perform a thorough examination and determine whether or not your wisdom teeth need to be extracted.
Most people experience some pain and discomfort after wisdom tooth extraction. However, your dentist or oral surgeon will provide pain medication to help manage any discomfort.
Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the complexity of the procedure. Most people can return to normal activities within a week or two.
You should wait until the anesthesia wears off before eating anything. After that, you can start with soft foods and gradually move on to more solid foods as your mouth heals.
Your dentist or oral surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your mouth after surgery. This usually involves gentle rinsing with saltwater and avoiding strenuous activity for a few days.
Like any surgery, there are risks associated with wisdom tooth extraction, such as infection and nerve damage. However, these risks are relatively rare and can usually be managed effectively.
Sedation options vary depending on the individual and the complexity of the procedure. Your dentist or oral surgeon will discuss the available options with you and determine which one is best for your situation.
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in the back of your mouth or have noticed any swelling or infection, you should consult with your dentist or oral surgeon to determine if wisdom tooth extraction is necessary.
