WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS IF I HAVE IMPACTED WISDOM TEETH?
Having wisdom teeth can be a mixed experience. On one hand, they can be helpful in chewing tough foods, but on the other hand, they can cause a great deal of pain/discomfort if they become impacted. If you have impacted wisdom teeth, it’s important to consider having them extracted. This can help prevent future oral health problems, such as infections, gum disease, and damage to nearby teeth.

WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION PROCESS
Anesthesia
Before the procedure, Dr. Zaidi will administer anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free. Depending on the complexity of the extraction, you may receive local anesthesia or sedation.
Tooth Removal
Once you are numb, Dr. Zaidi will use specialized tools to carefully remove your wisdom teeth. In some cases, the tooth may need to be broken into smaller pieces for easier removal.
Cleaning and Stitching
After the tooth has been removed, Dr. Zaidi will clean the area and stitch the gum tissue back together. The stitches will dissolve on their own over time.
Recovery
After the procedure, you will need to rest for a period of time while your mouth heals. Dr. Zaidi will provide you with instructions on how to care for your mouth during this time, including tips for managing pain and swelling.
Types of Tooth Extractions
Basic extractions
Are typically performed on wisdom teeth that have already erupted and can be easily accessed. This type of extraction is relatively simple and can often be completed with just local anesthesia.
Surgical Extractions
On the other hand, are performed on impacted wisdom teeth or teeth that are still below the gum line. This type of extraction requires a more extensive procedure and may require general anesthesia.
