What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction removes one or more wisdom teeth that are impacted, causing pain, or crowding surrounding teeth. Since wisdom teeth often do not have enough room to come in properly, removing them can prevent infection, damage to nearby teeth, and other complications.

Signs You May Need This Treatment

  • Pain or swelling near the back of the mouth
  • Difficulty fully opening your mouth
  • Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  • Repeated infections around a partially erupted wisdom tooth
  • Your dentist has identified impacted wisdom teeth on an X-ray

What Is Included

  • An exam and X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth
  • A discussion of your extraction options
  • Removal of the affected wisdom tooth or teeth
  • Guidance on managing discomfort during recovery
  • A follow up if needed to check on healing

The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia, so discomfort is generally well managed, and any post treatment soreness is manageable with the aftercare guidance provided.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not necessarily. Some wisdom teeth come in without issue, while others cause pain or crowding and need to be removed. Your dentist can advise based on your specific situation.
Can all wisdom teeth be removed in one visit?
In many cases, yes, though this depends on the position of the teeth and your dentist's recommendation.
