Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Overview: Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth. When they do not have enough space to emerge or grow properly, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. At All Heart Dental, we specialize in the gentle extraction of wisdom teeth to prevent future dental issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Extractions

When should I get my wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are typically removed between the ages of 17 and 25, but your dentist can help determine the best timing for you.

What is the recovery time for wisdom teeth removal?

Recovery usually takes 3-5 days, but full healing can take a few weeks depending on the complexity of the extraction.

Why do I need my wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are often removed if they are impacted, causing pain, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. If there isn't enough space in your mouth, they may become misaligned, leading to oral health problems.

At what age should I get my wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth are typically removed between the ages of 17 and 25 when the roots aren’t fully formed, making extraction easier and recovery quicker. However, the best time to remove them varies for each person.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Some patients may also opt for sedation to help them relax. Mild discomfort or swelling is common afterward but can be managed with pain medications.

How long does the recovery take?

Recovery typically takes about 3-5 days for the initial healing, although full recovery can take a few weeks. Swelling and discomfort should decrease after the first few days.

Will I have stitches after the surgery?

In many cases, dissolvable stitches are used that will naturally dissolve within a week or two. If non-dissolving stitches are used, they will be removed during a follow-up visit.
