Frequently Asked Questions

Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?

Most patients feel pressure during the procedure, but not pain because the area is numbed. Mild soreness afterward is normal and usually improves within a few days.

How long is the recovery after wisdom teeth extraction?

Initial healing typically takes a few days, with most swelling resolving within a week. Our Havre de Grace wisdom tooth removal dentist provides guidance to help you return to normal activities comfortably.

When is impacted wisdom teeth extraction needed?

Impacted extraction is recommended when a wisdom tooth is trapped under the gums or bone and cannot erupt normally. These teeth are more likely to cause pain and infection if left untreated.

What should I do if I have sudden wisdom tooth pain?

Sudden or severe pain may signal infection or inflammation. Contact our office for an evaluation or emergency dental care (including emergency wisdom tooth removal), especially if swelling or fever is present.

Understanding simple vs impacted wisdom teeth extraction

The approach to wisdom teeth removal depends on the tooth position and its accessibility.

Simple wisdom tooth extraction

When a wisdom tooth has fully erupted and is easy to reach, it can often be removed with a straightforward extraction. This one is typically quicker and involves minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue.

Impacted wisdom teeth extraction

An impacted wisdom tooth extraction is needed when a tooth is partially or fully trapped beneath the gumline or bone. These teeth may grow sideways or remain stuck below the surface, increasing the risk of pain and infection. Surgical techniques allow the tooth to be removed safely while protecting nearby structures.

Our team explains which approach is right for you and why, so there are no surprises on the day of your procedure.
