Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth.
If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow, resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon.
To prevent potential future problems, some dentists and oral surgeons recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren't currently causing problems.
What to Expect After a Procedure After having your wisdom teeth removed and as you being to heal, follow your surgeon’s instructions on:
Bleeding Pain Management Swelling and bruising Beverages
Food Cleaning your mouth Tobacco use Stitches
