Question:

Can anyone explain the procedure(s) of having your wisdom teeth pulled out and how long is recovery?


Answers:

well its depends on what the dentist has to do....he or she can either remove it without sugery or with surgery. I believe it depends on how your wisdom tooth has grown. I've had only one removed so far, manually, so the healing time was about a day or two. The numb the area so you really dont feel anything other than the extraction, you cant speak for a few hours cuz you have gauze in your mouth from the bleeding. So for me it wasnt all that bad. As for the other three remainging wisdoms in my mouth, well they require surgery (cutting of my gums) since they are positioned underneath my gums. The healing time is longer, but my dentist said that some people are back to normal the next day and others require a little longer. I remember someone who was in so much pain that he was only drinking milkshakes from a straw for a few days. So tell me, is your tolerance level high?? thats really how you will know how bad it will be, also if your wisdom teeth will be difficult to extract.
