FAQS
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not necessarily. Some wisdom teeth erupt properly and cause no issues, in which case they can be monitored. Your dentist will evaluate their position and health to determine if removal is recommended.
Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia or sedation, so you won't feel pain during it. Some swelling and soreness afterward is normal and manageable with medication and rest.
How long is recovery from wisdom teeth removal?
Most patients feel significantly better within a few days to a week, though complete healing of the extraction site can take a few weeks.
At what age should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth are often removed in the late teens to early twenties, when roots aren't fully formed and recovery tends to be easier, though it can be done at any age if needed.
