At our office, wisdom teeth extraction should not hurt. For starters, your dentist is highly skilled in this procedure and will use the latest technology to plan your surgery with extreme precision. We also make sure you are fully numb before we begin. On top of that, we can offer you sedation to keep you perfectly calm.
You can expect to experience tenderness and swelling for several days. You’ll want to relax and avoid any type of strenuous physical activity. We’ll offer you instructions on diet, dental hygiene, and other elements of recovery. Swishing gently with lukewarm salt water will ease discomfort and help clean your mouth out. Complete recovery takes up to two weeks.
Wisdom teeth come in years after your other teeth. This can mean there just isn’t enough room for them in your jaw, which can cause pain and crowd your other teeth. It’s also not uncommon for wisdom teeth to only partially emerge from your jaw. This makes you more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.
