When Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?

Wisdom teeth helped our early human ancestors chew tough, raw foods, but now that we soften our food by cooking it, modern humans no longer need these teeth. In fact, our jaws have shrunk to the point where most people don’t have room to accommodate the wisdom teeth. As a result, these teeth often become impacted. Not only can this be painful, but it can increase the risk of infection, misalignment (due to pressure against other teeth), and even cysts or tumors that permanently damage the jawbone.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Aftercare

You’ll most likely experience some residual discomfort, swelling, and bleeding following your wisdom tooth extraction. These side effects should fade with time, but please call us if they seem to be worsening. We’ll provide you with aftercare guidelines that may include:
- Don’t drink from a straw, smoke, or spit forcefully for a few days after your procedure.
- Take any medications that we have prescribed as instructed.
- Eat a soft food diet for several days.
- When brushing your teeth, be careful near the extraction site.
