When Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge, typically appearing in the late teens or early twenties. When there is not enough room for them, they can become impacted, cause pain, or damage neighboring teeth. At MJ Dental Office, we provide wisdom teeth removal with a gentle approach and clear communication in English and Spanish.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
From evaluation to recovery, here is what to expect.
Imaging & Evaluation
Digital X-rays or 3D imaging assess tooth position, root structure, and relationship to nerves.
Anesthesia
The area is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Access & Removal
If the tooth is impacted, a small incision is made. The tooth is carefully loosened and removed, sometimes in sections.
Cleaning & Sutures
The site is cleaned and sutured if needed to promote proper healing.
Aftercare Guidance
Detailed aftercare instructions are provided before you leave our office.
Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. To support healing:
- Apply ice packs in 20-minute intervals to reduce swelling
- Eat soft foods for the first several days
- Avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing for at least 24 hours
- Take pain medication as directed
- Gently rinse with warm salt water starting the day after surgery
Common Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impaction
The tooth is trapped beneath the gum or bone, unable to emerge properly.
Crowding
Not enough space in the jaw, pushing other teeth out of alignment.
Partial Eruption
The tooth has broken through only partially, creating a pocket for bacteria and infection.
Recurring Infections
Cysts, infections, or damage to the adjacent second molar from wisdom tooth pressure.
