Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to emerge, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth can cause problems such as overcrowding, impaction (teeth that don’t fully erupt), or pain and swelling in the back of the mouth. Additionally, wisdom teeth can increase the risk of infection, decay, or gum disease. Wisdom teeth removal is a routine surgical procedure designed to extract these problematic teeth, alleviating discomfort and preventing future complications.
At Dentistry on Main Street, our experienced team uses advanced techniques to ensure your procedure is safe and as comfortable as possible.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation to ensure you are comfortable. Mild discomfort during recovery is normal but can be managed with prescribed pain relievers and following aftercare instructions.
Most patients recover within 7-10 days. Swelling and soreness are common during the first few days and typically subside with proper care.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, and soup for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that may irritate the surgical site.
Many dental insurance plans cover wisdom teeth removal if deemed medically necessary. Our team will help you navigate your benefits and provide an estimate of any out-of-pocket costs.
Don’t let wisdom teeth cause discomfort or jeopardize your oral health. Call Dentistry on Main Street or schedule your consultation online today.
