Wisdom Teeth Removal
At Abundant Dental Care, we carefully assess your wisdom teeth to determine if wisdom tooth removal in Utah is necessary. If they are properly positioned and not causing issues, extraction may not be needed. However, if you have impacted wisdom teeth and they pose a risk to your oral health, our team will recommend timely removal to prevent future complications. We also specialize in the removal of non impacted wisdom teeth. For those keeping their wisdom teeth, we emphasize the importance of thorough oral hygiene, including flossing all the way to the back teeth, to maintain a healthy smile.
FAQ
Do I need to have all of my wisdom teeth removed?
Not always. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, properly positioned, and not causing any issues, extraction may not be necessary. However, impacted or problematic wisdom teeth should be removed to prevent infection, pain, or long-term dental complications.
Is oral surgery painful?
Our highly trained dentists use advanced techniques and anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during oral surgery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and manageable soreness afterward, which can be treated with prescribed medications.
How long is the recovery time after wisdom teeth removal?
Recovery typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Swelling and minor discomfort are common but usually improve within a few days. Following your dentist’s post-surgery care instructions helps ensure a smooth recovery.
Can I get emergency oral surgery if I’m in severe pain?
Yes. Abundant Dental Care offers 24/7 emergency dental services in Utah. If you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, or signs of infection, our team is ready to provide immediate care, including oral surgery if necessary.
