In most cases, impacted wisdom teeth must be removed by an\u00a0oral surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HAVING YOUR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your oral surgeon might recommend general anesthetic or may extract your teeth under local anesthetic with or without sedation. Talk to your oral surgeon about the best options to ensure your comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your recovery, you will be prescribed antibiotics as well as painkillers. You will need to eat soft foods for a few days. If the extraction has left behind an empty tooth socket, be sure to take precautions against dry socket. Avoid using straws to drink, avoid brushing the area where the tooth was removed, and follow all the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth The wisdom teeth are the last set of molars, which usually emerge during the late teens or early twenties.
