If you have any questions about wisdom teeth removal, we’ve got answers.
Most dentists recommend evaluating wisdom teeth between ages 16-25. Your North Hollywood dentist can assess whether early removal would be beneficial in your case.
We will assess your case thoroughly to determine the best course of action. Sometimes we only need to remove one or two, and sometimes three or four.
We take special steps to make sure our patients are comfortable during their wisdom tooth removal appointment. We use numbing and sedation medications to help patients feel as little discomfort as possible. In addition, we will provide you with appropriate post-procedure medications and instructions for pain relief.
Wisdom teeth are harder to remove than other teeth because they’re not just one simple extraction but four teeth located in the back of the mouth, usually close to major nerves. Typically, wisdom tooth extraction is performed by our dentist or an oral surgeon, with the option of sedation during the procedure.
Start with soft foods like yogurt, smoothies, and soup for the first few days. We’ll provide a comprehensive list of recommended foods and those to avoid during recovery.
Most patients recover within a few days, but full healing may take a couple of weeks. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to promote healing and manage discomfort.
