What to Expect During a Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Everything will start with Dr. Phadnis giving a patient an exam. If she determines that the wisdom teeth need to come out, then the extraction will proceed as follows:
- First, a patient’s mouth will be completely numbed with local anesthetic
- Then, a small incision will be made in the gum tissue covering a tooth
- If there is any bone still holding onto the tooth, it will be cleared away as well
- Then, the tooth itself will be extracted
- Finally, the treatment site will be close using self-dissolving sutures
A patient will likely experience a little swelling and bleeding for about three to four days afterward, but in less than a week, they should feel completely normal and be able to resume their regular diet and routine.
