Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Third molars, aka wisdom teeth, typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. When there's not enough room, they can cause dental problems, including: Pain or swelling in the back of the jaw
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
- Tooth decay due to difficulty cleaning
- Infections or gum disease
- Cysts or damage to the surrounding bone
Removing wisdom teeth early can prevent these complications and save you from more complex procedures later.
What to Expect from Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
We'll begin with a comprehensive exam and take X-rays to determine the best plan for you. When it's time for the procedure, we'll use local anesthesia, or sedation—whichever makes you most comfortable. When the area is numb, the dentist removes the wisdom teeth, using a small incision if needed. So, searching for wisdom tooth extraction near me?

Wisdom Teeth Removal Recovery Time
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is about the recovery time following wisdom teeth removal. While recovery varies from person to person, most individuals begin to feel better within 3 to 5 days after the procedure. However, full healing can take up to 2 weeks. Here's a general timeline:
-
FIRST 24 HOURS:
Expected bleeding and swelling. Rest is crucial.
-
2–3 DAYS:
Swelling usually peaks and begins to subside. Use cold compresses.
-
3–5 DAYS:
Most discomfort decreases. You can start eating soft foods with greater comfort.
-
1–2 WEEKS:
Stitches may dissolve or be removed; most healing is complete.
-
Full healing may take up to 4 weeks.
Following your dentist's wisdom tooth extraction aftercare instructions is crucial to avoiding complications, such as dry socket or infection.
