Removal of Wisdom Teeth is Important to those in Toronto

Wisdom teeth, your third and last set of molars, are found in the back of the mouth. They can come in at the wrong position or even impacted. Sometimes, they can crowd out other teeth or be embedded in the jawbone. Removing them can prevent:

Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQ

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
The procedure has no pain because we numb the area. You will feel some discomfort later. We try to make you as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
How long does it take to recover?
Most recover in a few days but some may have swelling and stiffness for a week. Stitches are removed about two weeks later. At that point, you should be fully recovered.
What can I eat after getting my wisdom teeth removed?
You will need to stick to a pretty strict diet for a few days. It should be soft food that is either cold or lukewarm. You will need to stay away from spicy, crunchy or hard foods and straws should be avoided.
Are there complications?
The majority of these types of extractions go smoothly with no complications. Every procedure comes with risks and these types of procedures carry a risk of infection but this is rare.
Why do we need follow-ups?
A follow-up visit is important to monitor healing and remove stitches. It is also a good opportunity to ask dentists questions about your recovery and restoration.
