Using advanced imaging and surgical technology, our experienced dentists ensure your comfort from consultation through recovery.
Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth become problematic due to lack of space or improper alignment. Common reasons for extraction include:
- Impacted Teeth – Wisdom teeth that fail to fully emerge through the gums
- Pain and Swelling – Due to pressure on surrounding teeth or infection
- Crowding – Causing shifting or misalignment of other teeth
- Decay or Gum Disease – Difficult-to-clean areas that trap food and bacteria
- Jaw or Sinus Pressure – From growing teeth pressing against surrounding structures
By removing wisdom teeth early, patients can avoid pain, infection, and future orthodontic issues.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
At our Rockville office, we make every step of your procedure safe, smooth, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:
- Comprehensive Examination: Digital X-rays or 3D scans to assess tooth position and bone structure.
- Customized Sedation Options: Local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia based on your comfort and case complexity.
- Precise Surgical Removal: Our skilled team carefully extracts the tooth while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue.
- Thorough Aftercare Guidance: We provide detailed instructions to promote healing and prevent complications.
Our priority is to keep you comfortable and ensure a quick recovery with minimal discomfort.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing after wisdom tooth removal typically takes several days. To support a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips:
- Use ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Eat soft foods and stay hydrated.
- Avoid straws, smoking, and vigorous rinsing for 24–48 hours.
- Gently clean your mouth with warm saltwater after the first day.
- Take prescribed or recommended medication as directed.
Most patients feel significantly better within three to five days, with full healing in about two weeks.
