‍

When to Remove Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth typically erupt between ages 17 and 25. However, not everyone has room in their mouth for these molars, which can lead to serious complications if not removed. Removal may be recommended when:

• You feel pain or pressure in the back of your mouth
  
• Wisdom teeth are impacted or partially erupted
  
• They’re causing swelling, infection, or jaw stiffness
  
• Your orthodontist or dentist sees risk of future problems
  

Removing wisdom teeth early—before they fully develop—often leads to faster healing and fewer complications.

‍

What to Expect Before Surgery

Before your procedure, our team will ensure you’re fully prepared and at ease:

• Comprehensive Consultation – Digital X-rays and CT scans help us evaluate root position, impaction, and extraction strategy.
  
• Pre-Surgery Instructions – We’ll go over medications, eating restrictions, and what to expect on surgery day.
  
• Transportation Planning – If sedation is used, you’ll need a trusted person to drive you home safely.

‍

During the Procedure

Your comfort is our top priority. Depending on your case, we may use:

• Local Anesthesia – Numbs the surgical site for a pain-free procedure.
  
• Sedation Anesthesia – Keeps you calm and relaxed, with minimal awareness during extraction.
  

Dr. Wright will gently remove the wisdom teeth. For impacted molars, a small incision may be needed. The entire process is designed to minimize discomfort and promote quicker recovery.

‍

Post-Surgical Recovery & Home Care

After your procedure:

• Swelling and mild discomfort are normal and peak around 48 hours post-op.
  
• Use ice packs in the first 24 hours.
  
• Avoid strenuous activity and follow your medication instructions.
  
• Brush gently and avoid rinsing forcefully for the first 24 hours.

‍

Diet After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Stick to soft, nourishing foods:

• Soups, broths, mashed potatoes, applesauce, and scrambled eggs
  
• Smoothies (no seeds or straws)
  Avoid spicy, acidic, hard, or crunchy foods. Skip alcohol and hot beverages until cleared by your doctor.
