Frequently Asked Questions

While many consider wisdom teeth removal a traditional milestone, the truth is that wisdom teeth only require extraction if they become impacted or cause interference with your jaw and existing teeth.

Assuming no unexpected complications arise, a standard tooth extraction usually takes approximately 45 minutes or less.

During your appointment, we will furnish you with personalized aftercare instructions tailored to your specific needs. However, here are some general guidelines you can follow after a tooth extraction or dental surgery to minimize the chances of complications and promote a swift recovery:

    • Refrain from spitting, mouth rinsing, blowing your nose, using a straw, or smoking within the first 24 hours following the tooth extraction.

 

    • Avoid touching the extraction site with your finger or tongue.

 

    • Steer clear of hot foods and beverages.

 

    • Do not take aspirin, as it can impede blood clotting.

 

    Minimize physical activities and exercise for the time being.

 

Approximately an hour after the procedure, you can remove the gauze sponges placed in your mouth and have a meal. However, it is important to stick to soft foods for the initial 24 hours. Additionally, avoid consuming hot foods and using straws for several hours following the extraction.

Thanks to advancements in dental techniques and equipment, tooth extractions are now nearly painless. Patients often find the procedure to be quicker and easier than anticipated. While some discomfort is normal, we will supply you with aftercare instructions to ensure your comfort and facilitate a speedy healing process.

Typically, the recovery period for a simple tooth removal ranges from 7 to 10 days. However, in the case of more intricate procedures like surgical tooth extraction or wisdom tooth removal, the recovery time may extend to approximately 2 weeks. Regardless of the procedure’s complexity, you can expect minimal discomfort during the recovery phase.
