What to Expect on the Day of Your Wisdom Teeth Removal

Before the Procedure

• Fasting: You will be asked to refrain from eating or drinking (except essential medications with a sip of water) for at least six hours before surgery to minimize anesthetic risks.
• Sedation Options: Most patients choose sedation to ensure a comfortable experience. Your consultation will cover the best anesthesia option for you.

During the Procedure

• Sedation & Local Anesthesia: An IV is usually placed for sedation, followed by local anesthesia to guarantee a pain-free procedure.
• Procedure Duration: The extraction typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, with the total time in the office being around 90 minutes.
• Modern Techniques: State-of-the-art sterilization and infection control techniques are used to promote rapid healing and minimize discomfort.

After the Procedure

• Post-Operative Care: You may experience some swelling and discomfort as the local anesthesia wears off. Dissolvable stitches, if used, will typically disappear within 3 to 5 days.
• Recovery Essentials:
• Have a responsible adult accompany you and stay for the remainder of the day.
• Begin with a liquid diet (clear liquids, jello, broth) and gradually progress to solid foods.
• Avoid dairy products immediately after surgery as they might increase the risk of nausea.
• Pain Management: Non-narcotic anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, are recommended initially, with prescription pain relief if necessary.

In Summary

Timely removal of impacted wisdom teeth can prevent infection, cyst formation, crowding, and damage to nearby teeth. By opting for early extraction, especially in your teens or early twenties, you benefit from faster healing, lower complication rates, and a more straightforward procedure.

• This comprehensive approach to wisdom teeth removal is essential for maintaining long-term oral health and avoiding more complex dental issues later in life.
