The wisdom tooth removal procedure varies depending on whether the tooth has fully erupted or is still under the gum. For erupted teeth, we can perform a simple extraction under local anesthesia. Impacted wisdom teeth require a surgical extraction where we make a small incision in the gum, remove any bone blocking the tooth, and extract it in sections if necessary. We offer sedation options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients recover within 3-5 days and can return to normal activities within a week..
Signs you need emergency wisdom tooth removal include severe pain in the back of your mouth, red or swollen gums around the wisdom tooth, jaw pain or stiffness, bad taste or smell coming from the area, difficulty opening your mouth, and swelling in your jaw or cheek. Don’t ignore these symptoms—impacted wisdom teeth can lead to serious infections, cysts, and damage to neighboring teeth.
