Do I need surgery to fix my wisdom tooth problems?
In the majority of cases, it is recommended to remove a wisdom tooth, especially if it is causing pain or is impacted. Untreated and complicated wisdom teeth can cause various problems like pain, tooth infection, gum disease, and tooth decay. Therefore, wisdom teeth are removed to prevent them from negatively affecting your oral health. READ MORE
How long after wisdom teeth removal can I eat normally?
You can eat as soon as the procedure is over. However, remember that the lip, tongue, and gum numbness will last up to three hours after the procedure. So if you eat, do so with caution as you might unintentionally bite your lip or tongue. A soft diet (anything that has the consistency of mashed potato, boiled egg or pasta) that is not too hot or too cold is recommended in the first three days following the procedure. READ MORE
