PREPARING FOR WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
- Your dentist or oral surgeon will explain how to prepare for your procedure. For example, if you smoke, you may be asked to stop as smoking increases your risk of getting a wound infection, which can slow your recovery.
- The operation is usually done under local anesthesia. This completely blocks pain from your gums and you will stay awake during the procedure. You may be offered a sedative to help you relax during the operation. If you go to a hospital and your wisdom teeth are particularly challenging to remove, you may be given general anesthesia. This means you will be asleep during the procedure. Your dentist or oral surgeon will talk with you about which type of anesthesia is most suitable for you.
