When do wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth can be painful, whether they are erupting or impacted. This pain could come about frequently or spontaneously. A lot of times, the gums around the wisdom teeth will get infected due to a patient's inability to clean all the way into the back of the mouth. This is a condition called pericoronitis.
If you have wisdom teeth pain, please come in ASAP to see us so that we can talk about removal options and help preserve the surrounding teeth. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain medication to manage your discomfort.

What are the most common wisdom teeth questions in Bucks County?
Wisdom teeth are often removed if they are impacted, causing pain, or crowding nearby teeth. Early removal can help prevent infection, cysts, and other complications. Our dentists will evaluate your X-rays and recommend whether extraction is necessary based on your individual case.
Oral surgery is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to keep you completely comfortable. You may experience some soreness, swelling, or mild discomfort afterward, but these symptoms usually fade within a few days. Our team will provide personalized pain management and aftercare instructions to help you recover comfortably.
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure undertaken. Simple tooth extractions may heal within a week, but recovery from other complex oral surgeries may take several weeks. We will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing and provide detailed post-operative care instructions for a fast and comfortable recovery.
Before your appointment, we will provide clear instructions tailored to your treatment. This may include fasting if sedation is planned, arranging transportation, and avoiding smoking. Following these guidelines helps ensure a safe procedure and optimal healing afterward.
Some oral surgeries require stitches to close the surgical site. In many cases, we use dissolvable sutures that disappear on their own within a week or two. If non-dissolvable stitches are used, we will schedule a short follow-up visit to remove them safely.
Immediately after surgery, it is best to stick to soft foods such as soups, smoothies, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for several days. As healing progresses, you can gradually return to your normal diet based on your dentist recommendations.
Contact our office right away if you experience severe pain, persistent bleeding, excessive swelling, fever, or signs of infection such as pus or a bad taste.
