Most patients recover from wisdom tooth surgery within 3–5 days. You may experience mild swelling, discomfort, or sensitivity—but these are temporary and manageable with medication and rest.
We’ll schedule a follow-up visit to ensure your healing is progressing normally.
How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?
If you’re experiencing pain in the back of your mouth, swelling, or jaw tightness—or your dentist sees signs of impaction or crowding—you may need an evaluation for removal.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
With modern sedation and anesthetic options, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
Do all four wisdom teeth have to be removed at once?
Not always. It depends on their development, alignment, and potential impact on your oral health. Your dentist will guide you on the best course of action.
Will I be awake during the extraction?
You have options. Some patients choose local anesthesia only, while others prefer oral sedation or nitrous oxide for a more relaxed experience. We’ll help you choose what’s best for your needs.
Don’t ignore wisdom tooth pain—it can lead to more serious issues if left untreated. At Riverwalk Dental Group, we’re here to make the process smooth, safe, and stress-free.
