Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge in the back of the mouth. They can cause problems if they do not have enough room to grow in properly. At Oyster Dental, we offer wisdom teeth removal to help alleviate any pain or discomfort caused by these teeth.

Symptoms that may indicate the need for wisdom teeth removal include pain and swelling in the back of the mouth, difficulty opening the mouth, or infection.

During the wisdom teeth removal procedure, our dentist will numb the area around the teeth to ensure your comfort. The teeth will then be carefully removed, and any necessary stitches will be placed. Depending on the complexity of the case, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia.

After the procedure, you will be given instructions on how to care for yourself and manage any pain or discomfort. The recovery time varies depending on the individual and the complexity of the case, but most people are able to return to normal activities within a week or two.

Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices can help to prevent the need for wisdom teeth removal. Please contact us to schedule your appointment today and our dentist will evaluate your case and recommend the best course of action for you.
