Common Queries on Wisdom Tooth Removal

When is the right time to remove my wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are usually extracted from ages 17 to 25, but your dentist can advise the ideal timing for your case.

How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?

Typically, recovery spans 3-5 days, but complete healing may require several weeks, depending on how complex the extraction was.

What’s the purpose of wisdom tooth extraction?

Wisdom teeth may need extraction when they are impacted, leading to discomfort, infections, or harm to adjacent teeth. Insufficient space can result in misalignment, which can create dental health issues.

When is the right age for wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth are usually extracted between ages 17 and 25 when their roots are not fully developed, allowing for easier removal and faster recovery. Nonetheless, the ideal timing for extraction differs for everyone.

Will the process cause pain?

The procedure is conducted with local anesthesia, ensuring no pain is felt. Additionally, some patients may choose sedation to enhance relaxation. It's normal to experience mild discomfort or swelling afterward, which can be alleviated with pain relief medication.

What is the recovery duration?

Initial healing usually requires about 3-5 days, while complete recovery may take a few weeks. Expect swelling and discomfort to lessen after a few days.

Will I need stitches post-surgery?

Often, dissolvable stitches are employed, disappearing on their own in about one to two weeks. If non-dissolving stitches are utilized, they will be removed at a follow-up appointment.

"I cannot recommend Dr. Rafaela enough.. I had extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and had such bad experiences that I avoided going for 7 years. I have really sensitive teeth which makes cleanings usually very painful for me but she was so gentle while also being very thorough. When I went back to her for fillings it was the same relaxing and enjoyable experience. I am so happy that I found her she really changed the way I feel about dental visits and now I will bring my kids for their cleanings here as well."
