Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically emerge at the back of the mouth during the late teens or early twenties. They often require extraction due to various reasons, such as lack of space, impaction, misalignment, or the potential for causing damage to neighboring teeth.

If you experience symptoms like pain, swelling, infection, or difficulty properly cleaning your wisdom teeth, it’s advisable to schedule a consultation with our dental professionals. Through a thorough examination and X-rays, we can determine if your wisdom teeth need to be extracted.

Our dental professionals utilize local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the extraction procedure. You may experience some pressure and mild discomfort during the process, but we take every measure to minimize pain. After the procedure, our team can prescribe painkillers to treat any post-operative discomfort.

The recovery process varies for each individual, but typically it takes a few days to a week to heal fully. You may experience some swelling, discomfort, and mild bleeding initially, which gradually improves. 

Like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with wisdom tooth extraction. These can include infection, dry socket (a condition where the blood clot is dislodged from the extraction site), nerve damage, or prolonged swelling. However, our experienced dental professionals take every precaution to minimize these risks and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a successful recovery.
