What Are Wisdom Teeth & Why Remove Them?

Wisdom teeth are your third molars, typically emerging between ages 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, many deal with impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth that can lead to:

• Jaw pain or stiffness
  
• Crowded or shifted teeth
  
• Gum infection or inflammation
  
• Tooth decay or cyst development
  

Removing wisdom teeth early can help prevent more complex oral health problems later. Our team uses state-of-the-art CT imaging to assess your condition and determine the safest course of treatment.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removed

You may need your wisdom teeth removed if you notice:

• Pain or swelling near the back of your mouth
  
• Bleeding or swollen gums
  
• Headaches or jaw stiffness
  
• Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
  
• Recurring infections or bad breath
  

Not all symptoms are obvious. Routine X-rays and evaluations can help detect problems before symptoms arise.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal is an outpatient procedure performed in our office. Most patients choose IV sedation or general anesthesia, which means you sleep through the entire procedure. You arrive at the office, the sedation takes effect within minutes, and you wake up when it is done. Most patients remember nothing about the procedure itself.

The surgery typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number and position of the teeth. Our surgeons remove the teeth through small incisions in the gum tissue, and the sites are closed with dissolving sutures. You go home the same day with a responsible driver. Recovery instructions are provided before you leave.

Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for the first 2 to 3 days after surgery. Prescription pain medication manages discomfort effectively, and swelling typically peaks on day 2 before gradually improving. A soft food diet is recommended for the first week (soups, smoothies, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes). Most patients return to school or work within 3 to 5 days. We schedule a follow-up visit to check healing and remove any non-dissolving sutures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?

You may need removal if you're experiencing pain, crowding, swelling, or recurring infections. Our surgeons use CT imaging and X-rays to evaluate whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or misaligned.

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

No. With sedation options like IV sedation, nitrous oxide, or general anesthesia, most patients feel no discomfort during the procedure. Post-operative soreness is common but manageable with prescribed medication.

What type of anesthesia will I need?

Your surgeon will discuss the best option based on your medical history and level of comfort. We offer local anesthesia, IV sedation, nitrous oxide, and general anesthesia.

How long is the recovery period?

Most patients recover in 3 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the extraction. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery.

Can I get all four wisdom teeth removed at once?

Yes. It's common—and often recommended—to remove all four wisdom teeth in one visit, especially under sedation. This reduces the need for multiple recovery periods.
