Wisdom Teeth Removal - Safe and Comfortable Procedure
At Warrington Dental PC, we provide expert care for wisdom teeth removal, a common procedure to address issues caused by the emergence of these final set of molars.
What are Wisdom Teeth and Why Might They Need to be Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. They may need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, creating crowding, or leading to other dental issues.
How Do I Know if My Wisdom Teeth Need to be Removed?
Common signs include pain, swelling, difficulty opening your jaw, and sometimes infection. Regular dental check-ups with X-rays can help determine if your wisdom teeth are likely to cause problems.
What is the Process for Wisdom Teeth Removal?
The procedure involves numbing the area around the tooth with anesthesia. If the tooth is impacted, a small incision may be made in the gum to access it. The tooth is then carefully removed, and the area is cleaned and sutured if necessary.
What Can I Expect After Having My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
After the procedure, some swelling and discomfort are normal. We will provide aftercare instructions, including pain management and dietary recommendations. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
How Can I Prepare for Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery?
Preparing for surgery includes discussing anesthesia options with your dentist, arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure, and following any pre-operative instructions given by your dental team.
