Why Wisdom Teeth Extraction Matters

Wisdom teeth—also known as third molars—often erupt between the late teens and early twenties. While not always problematic, they can cause:

Pain and Discomfort if they’re impacted or growing in at an odd angle
Infection & Swelling from trapped bacteria
Damage to Nearby Teeth by crowding or pushing them out of alignment
Jaw Stiffness and difficulty opening or closing your mouth

Removing troublesome wisdom teeth can prevent these complications, reduce the risk of infection, and safeguard your overall dental health.

FAQ

Common Questions About Wisdom Teeth Extraction

How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth extraction?

Most patients find that initial healing takes around 3 to 5 days, though complete recovery can span 1 to 2 weeks depending on factors like overall health, complexity of the extraction, and aftercare compliance. Following our post-operative guidelines will help speed up your recovery.

How painful is wisdom tooth extraction?

Thanks to local anaesthesia or sedation, you’ll typically feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness or swelling afterwards is normal, but it’s manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll ensure you have a clear understanding of aftercare to keep pain at bay.

Why is day 3 the worst after wisdom teeth?

Many patients report increased swelling and tenderness around day 3, which is a natural phase of the healing process. Inflammation peaks as your body intensifies its repair efforts. By day 4 or 5, symptoms usually start to subside—especially when you follow aftercare instructions diligently.

Why do experts now say not to remove your wisdom teeth?

Not all wisdom teeth need extraction. If they’re healthy, fully erupted, and properly aligned, they might not cause problems. However, impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth often lead to infection, decay, or crowding. Our dentist can assess your unique situation to recommend the best course of action.

When is dry socket no longer a risk?

Dry socket typically arises 2 to 4 days after extraction if the protective blood clot dislodges. By the end of the first week, the gum tissue often stabilises enough to greatly reduce the risk. Following our care instructions—like avoiding straws and smoking—significantly lowers your chances of developing dry socket.

Can I speed up wisdom teeth recovery?

Yes. Plenty of rest, sticking to soft foods, staying hydrated, and following good oral hygiene practices without irritating the extraction site can all help you heal faster. We’ll go over specific do’s and don’ts tailored to your procedure.
