Wisdom Teeth Extraction
A wisdom tooth/teeth extraction is a service that our Beachwood Dental office provides for wisdom teeth that are shifting, painful, crowding. Most likely, these teeth need to be removed. The wisdom tooth removal process can involve either general or local anesthesia or sedation if the patient requests it. Most patients are awake during the procedure and should not experience any discomfort or be able to feel the extraction process. The procedure will involve one of our exceptional dentists making incisions in the gums and removing the teeth and any connecting bone. If needed our dentist will then close up the wound with sutures to help the healing process, though this may not be necessary. Patients should expect to rest for the next 24 hours and only consume a liquid diet, plus avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks. It should take about a week before patients can resume strenuous activity. Pain medication can be prescribed to help with comfort, and ice packs are recommended to ease any swelling.
