WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL

It is a very common procedure to fix or prevent problems with your last set of molars. Wisdom teeth removal is very common, and recovery can take up to a week, depending on your specific case. Recovery may take longer if your wisdom teeth are impacted. This means that they haven’t emerged from below the gums yet and aren’t visible.

Some complications could be a sign of infection or nerve damage. Seek help if you experience any of these symptoms:

• Trouble swallowing or breathing
• Fever
• Medication not effective at dulling the pain
• Swelling that gets worse over time
• Numbness
• Blood or pus coming out of your nose
• Bleeding that doesn’t stop when you hold gauze to it and apply pressure

Pain management

You will be instructed to take antibiotics while you recover. This is to prevent any infections while your mouth is vulnerable to germs. Be sure to take the full course of antibiotics as instructed by our dentists.
