Getting Your Wisdom Teeth Pulled
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last to emerge, often causing overcrowding, pain, or infection if they don’t have enough space to grow properly. At Carriage Family Dental, we provide gentle and effective wisdom tooth extractions to prevent future dental complications and ensure your comfort throughout the process. Whether your wisdom teeth are impacted, partially erupted, or causing discomfort, our experienced team will assess your needs and recommend the best course of action. With proper care and a smooth recovery plan, you’ll be back to feeling your best in no time.

Can wisdom teeth grow back after removal?
No, they do not grow back once wisdom teeth are fully extracted. However, in rare cases, people may have extra (supernumerary) teeth that can emerge in the same area, creating the illusion of regrowth. If you notice any discomfort after removal, schedule a follow-up to ensure proper healing.

What are signs of infection after wisdom teeth removal?
Signs of infection may include:
- Persistent pain or swelling
- Foul taste or odor
- Fever or chills
- Pus or discharge
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact us right away for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.

How can I speed up the recovery process?
To heal faster after wisdom teeth removal, follow these tips:
- Rest and take it easy for the first few days
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling
- Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing near the extraction site
- Avoid smoking, drinking through straws, or vigorous rinsing to prevent dry socket
- Follow all post-op instructions, including prescribed medications and cleaning guidelines
Most patients recover within a week or two, but following these steps will help ensure a smooth healing process.
