Wisdom teeth removal is a very common procedure, but how it is performed varies from one person to the next. During a typical session, the patient is given local anesthesia around the teeth that are being removed. Some patients may be sedated consciously so theyโre more comfortable and relaxed yet still awake, while others may be sedated into unconsciousness and not remember anything about the procedure.
The time it takes to perform a wisdom tooth extraction depends on where and how the teeth are growing in. Teeth that have partially erupted through the gum tend to be easier to remove, while teeth that are growing sideways and under the gum require more invasive surgery.
The dentist will prescribe pain medications to relieve any lingering pain in the teeth and gums. Our dentist will also provide home care instructions on how to help minimize and manage pain and other after effects of wisdom teeth removal, as well as schedule a follow-up visit.
