Why do I Need to get My Wisdom Teeth Taken Out?
You might question the purpose of wisdom teeth if they’re often removed. Thousands of years ago, wisdom teeth may have served a purpose when humans had larger jaws and poor dental care, necessitating the use of these additional teeth. Nowadays, with advancements in dental health and overall well-being, they’re usually not necessary. You may need to get your wisdom teeth taken out for a variety of reasons, including:
- Pain
- Crowding
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Cysts
Wisdom teeth often come in at the wrong angle, or they can be too close to other teeth. This makes them difficult to keep clean, so they can decay and develop cavities. Other times, there may not be enough room for all four wisdom teeth to fit in your mouth comfortably. Regardless, these teeth need to be extracted before they become a problem.
If allowed to become a problem, wisdom teeth can cause discomfort because of their position in your mouth. The pain may come from the pressure the wisdom tooth puts on other teeth or the surrounding gums. Sometimes, impacted wisdom teeth can even lead to severe infections or cysts.
What if My Wisdom Teeth are Impacted?
An impacted wisdom tooth has not fully emerged from the gums due to its growth direction into or against the jawbone or adjacent teeth. If you’re wondering what to do about your impacted wisdom teeth, we’re here to help.
We understand that this can be a daunting experience, and our highly experienced and caring dentist in South Calgary will make this process easy and comfortable for you.
You may need bone grafting after the tooth extraction.

With wisdom teeth removal, we want you to be well informed to make the best decision for you and your family. Our skilled wisdom teeth experts will talk to you before your procedure and give you post-treatment recommendations. But here are a few things to expect:
You’ll likely have to fast for a few hours before the procedure. After it’s over, you’ll be able to eat soft foods like ice cream and applesauce.

How Long Does It Take?
“How long do wisdom teeth extractions take?” is one of the most common questions we hear at our dental practice. The answer, of course, is that oral surgery depends on each individual case, as the time can vary based on the complexity.
We typically schedule each patient for about an hour and a half, even though we frequently do not use the full time for the procedure.
Wisdom tooth extractions are an exceedingly common procedure, but they can be tricky. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation and learn more about how our team of wisdom teeth experts can help you.
Does It Hurt?
During a wisdom teeth extraction, we’ll numb the area with a local anesthetic to ensure you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Afterward, you will likely be prescribed some medication for pain relief to get back to your normal routine as soon as possible.
The pain that comes from this surgical procedure happens because of inflammation. To counter this, our dental team places an anti-inflammatory where we pull the teeth out to minimize swelling and inflammation. This will help alleviate the pain after the extraction site.
What Is the Recovery Time for Wisdom Teeth Extractions?
After your wisdom teeth are removed, you might experience some swelling or discomfort. This is extremely common with any procedure, regardless of whether it’s a dental extraction or something else.
We’ll recommend some post-treatment care so that you can start feeling better as soon as possible.
Wisdom tooth extractions are common procedures, but they can be tricky because of the location of the wisdom teeth in the mouth. If the tooth-pulled extraction is not performed carefully, or if you smoke or use suction (like a straw), then dry sockets can form in the mouth, which in rare cases can be painful.
Meeting with our highly experienced East Mahogany dentist before your procedure is important so we can recommend plans based on each patient’s needs.
Do I Need to Take any Special Care After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
After removing your teeth, our wisdom tooth team will give you some post-treatment recommendations to keep your mouth as pain-free and healthy as possible. This includes instructions to avoid strenuous activities like heavy lifting or sports for at least two weeks after removal.
We also recommend attending follow-up appointments with us at our dental clinic in South Calgary. This is the best way to maintain your dental health and prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
