What follows wisdom tooth extraction isn’t pretty but the pain, swelling and discomfort that comes afterward is a normal part of the healing process.
Wisdom Tooth extraction is a form of major surgery. While in general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia options are used to make wisdom teeth removal a more comfortable procedure, excess pain and discomfort are part of the process, especially after the anaesthesia wears off. Your dentist at Claremont should teach you how to take care of your mouth for the recovery period. You may be told to avoid brushing, spitting, flossing and rinsing for 24 hours.
