Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that is usually not painful. This is because you will be given a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. You may also be given a sedative to help you relax. However, you may experience some discomfort and soreness after the procedure. Our team will provide you with pain medication to help manage any discomfort you may feel.
At WestLake Dental Care, we recommend getting your wisdom teeth removed as soon as possible if they’re causing any type of issue. This is because it is easier to remove wisdom teeth before they become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to your other teeth.
