Trust Your Wisdom Teeth Extraction to Our Expert Team
Your wisdom teeth likely emerged in your late teens or early twenties. But thanks to evolution, we no longer need this set of third molars. While they may not cause any problems for some people, wisdom teeth can create future complications or pose oral health threats for others.
Third molars can sometimes cause pain if they're in the wrong position, create overcrowding in your mouth, and even damage your other teeth. Even if you have room for your wisdom teeth, they can still be hard to reach, making it hard to keep them clean and safe from decay and gum disease. Impacted wisdom teeth can be another common and particularly painful problem. But even then, our team is here to help you avoid these potential hazards with a safe, gentle extraction procedure.
At Eastside Smiles, you can count on a comfortable wisdom tooth extraction or other oral surgery. Not only will we numb the affected area completely, but we can also offer dental sedation to calm your nerves: inhaled sedation and oral conscious sedation. Both are safe and effective, and we can help you choose the method that suits your level of anxiety.
Wisdom teeth removal in Sioux Falls can be an easy experience in our expert hands. Call us today at 605-638-9986 for an appointment at Eastside Smiles.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal
At what age should you have wisdom teeth removal?
Generally, it's recommended to have wisdom teeth evaluated in your late teens or early 20s. At that age, the wisdom teeth roots are not fully formed, and the extraction process is typically easier with fewer complications. However, every individual is unique. Some people may need their wisdom teeth removed earlier or later depending on factors like overcrowding, impaction, or potential damage to nearby teeth.
Should I have my wisdom teeth taken out?
Our experts recommend extracting wisdom teeth if they are emerging at an incorrect angle, if they don't emerge entirely through the gums, or if there isn't enough space for them to come in without crowding other teeth. Considering that lots of people's wisdom teeth appear in their late teens or early 20s, this is the ideal time to remove them, if needed.
What is recovery like after wisdom teeth removal?
While you should feel much better within a day or two, it can take up to two weeks to fully recover. During this time you may experience mild discomfort and swelling. You can speed your recovery by avoiding smoking and alcohol and eating soft foods for the first few days. Rinsing gently with warm salt water also helps lessen gum tenderness and inflammation.
