Do I Need Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is recommended to prevent long term dental issues such as:

• Pain and discomfort – Crowded wisdom teeth can cause pressure and soreness.
• Infection and decay – Partially erupted wisdom teeth are prone to bacterial buildup.
• Damage to adjacent teeth – Impacted teeth can push against surrounding molars.

Many dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth at a younger age as healing is more predictable and recovery is faster. If you’re experiencing symptoms, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ash to discuss your options.

Pre Procedure

To ensure a smooth procedure and recovery follow these steps before your appointment:

1. Consultation & Pre-Surgery Instructions – Talk to Dr. Ash and Dr. Wright and disclose any medications that may interact with anesthesia.
2. Relaxing Attire – Wear loose fitting clothes for comfort during the procedure.
3. Arrange for a Ride – Anesthesia can make you groggy so have someone to drive you home.

The Procedure

Your procedure will start with a comprehensive exam using digital X-rays and CT scans for precise planning. You may receive:

• Local anesthesia – Numbs the mouth for pain free extraction.
• Sedation anesthesia – Keeps you relaxed with minimal awareness of the procedure.

We will carefully extract the wisdom teeth making small incisions if necessary for impacted teeth. The whole process is designed for minimal discomfort and fast healing.

Post Procedure and Recovery

After surgery some swelling and discomfort is normal and typically peaks within 48 hours. Here are a few tips to aid in your recovery:

• Apply ice packs – Reduces swelling and relieves discomfort.
• Rest and avoid strenuous activities – Let your body heal.
• Follow pain management – Take meds as directed by Dr. Wright.

Most patients can resume gentle activities in a few days but always check with your dentist before doing strenuous exercise.

Diet after Wisdom Teeth Removal For a smooth recovery stick to soft foods and liquids in the days following your procedure. Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the surgical site. Recommended foods are:

Soups and broths – Warm, nourishing and easy to eat.
Mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs – Soft and gentle on the healing gums.
Smoothies (without seeds) – Nutrient rich and easy to drink.

No alcohol or hot beverages until cleared by your dentist.
