Wisdom Tooth Removal FAQs
1. When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth should be removed if they’re impacted, infected, painful, or pushing on other teeth. Many patients have them removed between ages 17–25.
2. Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
No. The area is numbed with local anesthesia, and sedation is available. Most patients feel pressure but no sharp pain during the procedure.
3. How long does the procedure take?
Most extractions take 30 to 60 minutes depending on how many teeth are removed and whether they’re impacted.
4. Can I be awake during the procedure?
Yes. You can be awake with local anesthesia or choose sedation if you prefer to relax or sleep through it.
5. What is dry socket and how do I prevent it?
Dry socket occurs when the blood clot dislodges, exposing the bone. Avoid drinking through straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing for a few days to prevent it.
6. How long is recovery?
Most patients feel better in 3–5 days. Full healing may take 2–3 weeks depending on the case.
7. What can I eat after wisdom tooth removal?
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, eggs, and smoothies. Avoid anything crunchy, hot, or spicy for a few days.
8. Can wisdom teeth cause headaches or jaw pain?
Yes. Impacted or erupting wisdom teeth can cause headaches, jaw tightness, or radiating pain around the ears and neck.
9. Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not always. If they’re healthy, fully erupted, and don’t cause issues, they may not need removal—but regular checkups are key.
10. What are signs of infected wisdom teeth?
Swelling, pain, bad breath, difficulty opening your mouth, or pus around the area may indicate infection. Seek treatment promptly.
11. Do you remove wisdom teeth in one visit?
Yes. In most cases, we remove all 4 in a single visit, unless your situation calls for staged extractions.
12. Will I have stitches after surgery?
Possibly. Some extractions require dissolvable stitches to help with healing. We’ll let you know what to expect before surgery.
13. What happens if I don't remove impacted wisdom teeth?
They can lead to crowding, tooth decay, infection, cysts, or damage to nearby teeth and bone.
14. Can I brush my teeth after surgery?
Yes, but avoid the extraction site for the first day. After 24 hours, you can gently brush around the area.
15. How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?
It varies based on how many teeth, impaction, and sedation. We offer payment plans, cash discounts, and accept most insurance.
16. Can I go back to work or school after?
Plan to rest the day of surgery and the next day. Many patients return to light activity within 48 hours.
17. Do you offer sedation dentistry?
Yes. We offer oral sedation to help you feel calm and comfortable during your wisdom tooth removal.
18. Will I need a ride home?
Yes, if you receive sedation. Patients using local anesthesia alone can usually drive themselves home safely.
19. Can wisdom teeth cause sinus problems?
Upper wisdom teeth can occasionally affect the sinuses, especially if impacted. We evaluate each case individually.
20. Why do wisdom teeth even exist?
They were useful to early humans who needed extra chewing power, but modern diets and smaller jaws make them unnecessary today.
