Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?

The procedure itself is not painful as it is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. Mild discomfort during recovery can be managed with prescribed medications.

How long does it take to recover from wisdom tooth extraction?

Most patients recover within a week, with noticeable improvement in pain and swelling after the first few days. Complete healing may take a few weeks.

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Not necessarily. Wisdom teeth that are healthy, fully erupted, and properly aligned may not require removal. Your dentist will evaluate your specific situation.

What are the risks of delaying wisdom tooth extraction?

Delaying extraction can lead to infections, cyst formation, gum disease, damage to adjacent teeth, and worsening pain or misalignment.

What should I eat after a wisdom tooth extraction?

Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hard, chewy, or spicy foods to protect the extraction site.
