About this treatment
Wisdom Teeth at Yes Dental
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in, usually in the late teens or twenties. If there is not enough room, they can become stuck, painful or infected.
We examine your teeth and X-rays, explain whether removal is the right choice, and carry out extractions with care to keep you comfortable and help you recover quickly.

FAQs
Questions about wisdom teeth
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. If they are healthy, in a good position and easy to clean, they may be left in place and checked regularly.
Is the procedure painful?
The area is numbed, so you should not feel pain. Some soreness and swelling are normal for a few days.
How long is recovery?
Many people feel better within a few days, but healing takes longer. We will give you clear aftercare steps.
What can I eat afterwards?
Soft, cool foods for the first days, such as yogurt, soup and mashed potatoes. Avoid straws and hard or crunchy foods.
When should I call you after treatment?
Call us if you have severe pain, heavy bleeding, fever or swelling that gets worse after a few days.
