Frequently Asked Questions
What are wisdom teeth?
These are the last set of adult molars to emerge, appearing in the late teens or early twenties, with most people developing four at the back of the mouth.
How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to come out?
Pay attention to symptoms such as jaw soreness, swelling near the back of the mouth, and difficulty chewing. These are also among the most common first signs of wisdom teeth coming in, indicating a closer look is needed. Removal is sometimes recommended even in the absence of symptoms.
How long does wisdom teeth removal take?
Most extractions take between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on the number of teeth and whether they are impacted.
What should I expect during recovery?
Mild soreness and swelling are normal for 2 to 3 days. Usually, patients resume regular activities within a week, and full healing takes about a month. Following your aftercare instructions closely will support the best outcome.
Can all four wisdom teeth be removed at the same time?
Yes, removing all four in a single visit is common and often more convenient, allowing you to complete your recovery in a single healing period.
