F.A.Q.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Your questions before and after treatment.
How long does a tooth extraction take?
It is difficult to give a standard duration for a tooth extraction. The procedure time depends on the condition of the roots and the extent of the extraction.
Will the procedure be painful?
Appropriate anesthesia is used. Pain and swelling may occur after the procedure; a check-up plan and advice are provided.
How long does recovery take?
This varies with the extent of the procedure and the individual. It is important to follow care advice during the first few days.
When should I contact the clinic?
Contact the clinic for bleeding that does not stop, increasing pain, fever or significant swelling. Seek emergency help if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Does every wisdom tooth need to be removed?
Not every wisdom tooth requires extraction. Pain, infection, decay, effects on neighboring teeth and the tooth’s position are assessed through an examination and any necessary imaging.
What information should I provide before surgery?
Share the medicines you take, your allergies and any existing medical conditions with your dentist. Do not stop taking regular medicines on your own; obtain preparation instructions from your dentist.
