What are wisdom teeth, and why do they sometimes need to be removed?

Wisdom teeth are the third and final molars most patients see erupt between ages 17 and 25. While these teeth can grow without complications for some, many patients will experience issues with impaction, infection, cysts, tumors, overcrowding, gum disease, and more.

What are the benefits of wisdom teeth removal?

In many cases, removing wisdom teeth can help patients avoid or reduce pain and discomfort and prevent overcrowding and misalignment issues. It can also help keep their jaw healthy by avoiding the spread of infection that can arise with impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth.

How long does recovery time take?

The recovery period for wisdom teeth removal is usually a few days, but it can vary depending on the individual. We recommend sticking to a soft diet and avoiding strenuous activities during this time. Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen can help ease some post-operative discomfort, as can applying a cold compress against the cheek.
