Why Get My Wisdom Teeth Out?
If you are not experiencing any pain now, then you might be thinking, why should I get my wisdom teeth removed? Insufficient room for wisdom teeth to grow correctly can result in:
- Third molar teeth cause tooth crowding because of pressure on neighboring teeth.
- Impacted wisdom teeth might be stuck under your gums, leading to inflammation and discomfort. If you have a wisdom tooth causing problems, it’s best to have it removed to reduce the risk of inflammation or dry socket.
- Your third molar teeth may cause bacterial infections due to the space they create between your tooth socket.
- Wisdom teeth can make your teeth crooked and lead to other dental problems, sometimes requiring immediate dental implants.
Did you know wisdom tooth extraction prevents many potential complications, such as misaligned teeth, tooth decay, and severe pain?
Recovery is not too long, and you can return to your brush and floss routine. These molars are also known as adult teeth, so they have a high risk of disturbing your long-term tooth structure.

What to Expect When Having Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Having your wisdom teeth removed is actually a remarkably simple experience. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Consultation: We will schedule a consultation visit a week or two before you have your third molar teeth removed. During this visit, we will likely take some X-rays of your teeth and walk you through the instructions for the day.
- Preparation: On the day of your wisdom teeth removal, you will come in, and we may use nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: Once you are given novocaine, our dentist will safely and quickly remove your third molar teeth. You will feel better after the procedure is done.
- After the Procedure: You may feel slightly puffy or drowsy around your jaw. The drowsiness will wear off in the next couple of hours, and the puffiness will wear off in less than a week.
We recommend eating soft foods and avoiding straws for the first couple days after your third molar teeth removal. You can begin to eat solid foods as soon as you can comfortably do so. We seek to make your experience of removing your third molar teeth as comfortable as possible.
Wisdom Teeth FAQs
How Long Do Wisdom Teeth Extractions Take?
The entire visit is often about an hour and a half long, but this can vary depending on how complicated the extraction is. The team at Pickens Family Dentistry will prepare you for the visit and monitor you afterward.
How Much Does Wisdom Tooth Removal Cost?
Thankfully, most insurance companies cover at least a portion of third molar teeth removal, but if that is not the case for you, we will work with you on a personalized finance plan. The cost can vary depending on how detailed the procedure is, so we recommend you come in for a consultation to get a specific quote for your circumstances.
Wisdom Tooth Pain: How Much Will It Hurt?
We seek to make the wisdom tooth removal process as painless as possible. The most painful part is not the procedure but the slight ache you can have the day after your removal.
Over-the-counter painkillers should minimize the recovery pain. If you are concerned about recovery pain, we can also prescribe a stronger, one or two-day pain reliever.
What If My Wisdom Teeth Are Impacted?
If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, the procedure may take longer, and so may your recovery time. In this case, we will refer you to a trusted oral surgeon with the specialized training to handle complex cases like this in our area. Our oral surgeon partners share our ideals of giving you a comfortable and safe experience while restoring your oral health.
We recommend that you get your third molar teeth out as soon as possible if they are impacted. This will help you avoid wisdom tooth pain.
