<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Understanding Wisdom Teeth Extraction</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>"Wisdom teeth" is the colloquial term for the third set of molars that sit in the back of the mouth. They are called such because they come between the more "mature" ages of 17 and 21. The emergence of wisdom teeth can be uncomfortable, <a title="Read more about Wisdom Teeth" href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/w/wisdom-teeth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Wisdom-Teeth-Extraction">even if they are emerging correctly</a>. Wisdom teeth do not always necessitate extraction. On the contrary, properly aligned wisdom teeth may assist in chewing.</p>
<p>However, if there is no adequate space for the wisdom teeth to emerge or if the teeth are coming through in the wrong position, they may become impacted (or trapped in the jaw or under the gums). This may cause cysts, damage to neighboring teeth, gum disease, infection, pain, tooth, decay, and tumors. A dentist needs to monitor the patient’s wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action.</p>

<p>Wisdom teeth extraction is <a title="Read more from the ADA" href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/w/wisdom-teeth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Wisdom-Teeth-Extraction">commonly performed and generally safe</a> when carried out by qualified doctors. However, like any other surgery, it does carry a small risk of complications. These include bleeding, dry socket, and infection. Our team will do everything we can to minimize these risks even further. However, patients should contact our office immediately if they find themselves experiencing any of the following symptoms after their extraction:</p>
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li>Absent or dislodged blood clot at the extraction site after surgery</li>
<li>High temperature</li>
<li>Yellow or white discharge from the extraction site</li>
<li>Persistent pain and swelling</li>
<li>Persistent, heavy bleeding that does not subside over time</li>
<li>Throbbing pain in the gum or jaw</li>
<li>Unpleasant smell or taste in the mouth</li>
</ul>
<p>Most potential complications following wisdom teeth extraction are easily treatable when reported to the doctor.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Extraction</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Generally, wisdom teeth extraction begins with the doctor injecting the patient with a local anesthetic to numb them to the pain of the procedure. The doctor will then cut into the gum tissue to expose the tooth and bone, making sure to remove any bone blocking access to the tooth root. Depending on how severely impacted the tooth is, the tooth may be divided into sections to be removed little by little.</p>
<p>After extracting the tooth, the doctor will clean the extraction site of any debris. Afterward, the wound may or may not need stitches, and the doctor will pack gauze over the extraction site to control bleeding and to aid in the formation of a blood clot.</p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">This varies from person to person and the type of anesthesia used. Some patients who were only under a local anesthetic may feel alert enough to drive back home after their procedure, while some may not. However, those who have undergone general anesthesia will need to make arrangements for someone to drive them to and from the operation.</span></p>
