What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are adult teeth that fit in the back of your mouth. These are the last adult teeth that come into your mouth. Many patients deal with four wisdom teeth, two on the top and bottom, but the number that comes in might differ depending on the person.
Why Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Sometimes wisdom teeth don’t cause problems, but if they do, they need to be removed. If they’re impacted, crowded, or causing pain, you’ll need to get your wisdom teeth removed. These are some of the adverse health risks you might experience if wisdom teeth are not properly treated.
Impacted Teeth
Sometimes your wisdom teeth grow in crooked. These are called impacted wisdom teeth. Your body tends to treat impacted wisdom teeth like a foreign item in your mouth. This condition often leads to serious tooth infections, toothaches, and gum pain.
Wisdom teeth removal will even out your smile and help to reduce the swelling caused by impaction. Most patients will recover from impacted teeth in under two weeks.
Pain and Sensitivity
Persistent pain, discomfort, or swelling around the wisdom teeth may indicate the need for removal to alleviate these symptoms. Persistent pain can also lead to your teeth becoming more sensitive to cold or hot foods and beverages.
This pain is caused by the growth location and the direction of your wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are inconveniently present in the back of your teeth where gum nerves are more sensitive. Many patients also find their wisdom teeth grow at an angle that pushes on neighboring teeth, causing the nerves surrounding other teeth to flare up.
Crowding
Wisdom teeth can cause crowding in the mouth, leading to alignment issues with other teeth. Removal may be advised to maintain proper dental alignment. Prompt treatment can result in reducing the need for orthodontic treatment or tooth damage in the years to come.
Even minimal misaligned teeth can make it difficult to perform daily functions. Wisdom teeth tend to affect the back molars the most. These molars are often the teeth that put in the most effort breaking up foods you eat throughout the day.
Infection
Wisdom teeth are susceptible to infection due to their hard-to-reach location. If you have an infected tooth, removal may be necessary to prevent the risk of infection spreading. Infections caused by wisdom teeth usually affect your teeth or your gums.
Late-stage oral infection can lead to missing and loose teeth as well as gum disease. Gum disease reduces the amount of bone growth around your jawline, which significantly impacts your appearance and your ability to speak and chew normally.
Difficulty Cleaning
Wisdom teeth tend to grow a bit at an angle towards your back molars. Many patients note that this awkward position makes cleaning with wisdom teeth harder to manage. Your wisdom teeth also put your back molars in a difficult position to be cleaned properly.
When wisdom teeth aren’t cleaned properly, patients often notice that cavities start to form. These cavities can lead to additional dental procedures and even additional teeth being removed. Protect your teeth with wisdom teeth extraction.

Ease Discomfort with Sedation Dentistry
We understand that anxiety can accompany dental procedures, especially those involving extractions. That’s why we offer intravenous (IV) sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the wisdom teeth removal process. IV sedation provides a relaxed and anxiety-free experience, allowing you to undergo the procedure with ease.
IV sedation is administered through a vein on the arm or the back of the hand. You will feel a bit drowsy when the administration begins. Once the anesthetic kicks in, you will fall into a state of deep relaxation—it will feel as if you were asleep the whole time!

Your journey to relief begins with a comprehensive consultation at Benage Dental Care. During this initial appointment, our experienced dentists will assess the positioning of your wisdom teeth, evaluate potential issues, and discuss the best course of action for your oral health.
To help you visualize where your wisdom teeth are located, we will show you imaging of your teeth and discuss whether or not you would like to have them removed. We understand that wisdom teeth removal is a big commitment, and we want you to feel ready for it.
Follow Sedation Instructions
Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage may give you some instructions before the wisdom teeth removal appointment. These instructions make dental sedation safe and effective.
Because you will be under sedation during the procedure, you will need to get a ride to and from the dentist’s office from a friend or family member. After using dental sedation, you will not be able to drive yourself until the product wears off. We also recommend specific diet restrictions before and after the appointment to aid in the healing process.
In-House Extractions
At Benage Dental Care, we perform wisdom teeth extractions in-house. This means you can have your wisdom teeth removed by our skilled team, eliminating the need for additional visits to an oral surgeon. Dental sedation will be administered before the extraction takes place.

After the Removal
The extraction process usually takes about an hour to complete. Once you’ve woken up and recovered from the anesthesia, Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage will send you a list of instructions on what to do next. It’s best to give yourself a few days of rest to speed up the healing process.
The instructions will typically consist of a specific diet and cleaning regimen to follow. If you have any questions about how to properly take care of your wisdom teeth, feel free to reach out to our office. We’re happy to answer any questions on your way to a greater smile!

Frequently Asked Questions
We’re right beside you to take the leap towards a smile without wisdom teeth. We’ve listed a few concerns that patients experience when they take the steps toward removing their wisdom teeth. If any other questions come up, don’t hesitate to call our office.
How much does it cost to get my wisdom teeth removed?
See above for our simple, affordable pricing and competitive financing options.
How long does the procedure take?
The length of your procedure will depend on how many wisdom teeth need to be removed and the location of each tooth. We make it convenient for you by doing the exam, x-rays, and removal all in one appointment.
How long is the recovery process?
The recovery process will depend on the type of removal that was performed but most patients will be fully recovered within a week. To learn more about the recovery process and what to expect
Does Wisdom Teeth Removal Hurt?
Wisdom teeth can cause pain mainly for the first few days after the procedure takes place. This three-day period helps the gums adjust without the wisdom teeth, which will ultimately improve your comfort levels long-term.
We recommend using ice packs, eating soft foods, and taking pain relievers during this time. It shouldn’t take longer than a couple of weeks for the wisdom teeth to completely heal.
What Is the Ideal Age For Wisdom Teeth Removal?
We generally recommend wisdom teeth removal for teens and young adults ages 15 to 22 years old. This age range typically recovers more quickly because their tooth roots haven’t completely formed since their wisdom teeth usually have just come in.
If you or your family member is dealing with wisdom teeth pain, however, it might need to be done sooner. Unsure of whether you need your wisdom teeth out? Feel free to call our office. We are happy to assess your needs and create a treatment plan.
What If I’m Dealing with Impacted and Sensitive Teeth?
Impacted or sensitive teeth may make patients feel a bit more hesitant about wisdom teeth extraction. But, rest assured—we are still able to perform wisdom teeth extractions under these circumstances.
Impacted wisdom teeth often require a longer recovery period following the removal treatment, so our dentists will instruct you accordingly. Because impacted teeth require a more intensive procedure, we will use sedation throughout the procedure to reduce pain from tooth sensitivity.
What Does the Recovery Process Look Like?
During the recovery process, many patients will first experience some pain and swelling for the first week. We advise that you or your child take at least three days off work or school to ease the transition following the procedure. Our office also recommends limiting physical exercise for about a week after the removal.
Everyone’s recovery will look a bit different, depending on their health history and the state of their wisdom teeth. If you have any other concerns, our office is available to ease any stress you may be experiencing.
