Monday I am having 2 wisdom teeth extracted. Both haven't erupted yet but the dentist said they are starting to push against the other teeth as they don't have enough space to come out. Can any of you who went through this, tell me how long does the procedure last? Is it painful after the surgery? Is the bleeding that bad? How long does it take to heal? I am going to need to extract the other 2 as well in a few weeks :(

Thank you!

Answer:

First let me say that you will be fine. Also did you know that the wisdom teeth are the smallest rooted tooth in the mouth? Being small makes them easier to remove and the fact that yours haven't formed completely it makes them smaller and easier to remove since they aren鈥榯 fused in the bone.

They will start by getting you good and numb in the whole mouth, and probably have N20 available. Just remember to breathe through your nose not your mouth or you'll lose the effects of it. The dentist will open an area of tissue just above where the teeth are and push the tissue back some, then he will elevate them out by use of one or two different instruments. It can take from 2-3 minutes to 10-20 it just depends on how difficult yours are to lift out. Then he will scrape around the socket area to clean it out good and cause it to bleed so the clot can form. You may or may not get sutures it just depends on how large the opening is. Before you leave the office we make sure the bleeding has just about stopped. You may leave with some gauze in your mouth that is used to keep pressure on the extraction site until you鈥檙e settled at home. By then you can remove it and use the ice packs.
