Wisdom teeth removal in Montreal
Wisdom teeth aren't always a problem. When they run out of room, though, they can hurt, get infected or push your other teeth around. An exam and an X-ray are enough to know whether they should come out.
Do they need to come out?
Not all wisdom teeth must be removed. An exam and an X-ray determine whether they are erupting properly or risk causing problems that justify removal.
Surgery and recovery
Removal is done under local anesthesia. Mild swelling and discomfort are normal for a few days; clear instructions and follow-up support good healing.

Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia and is not painful. Discomfort in the following days is managed with usual painkillers and rest.
How long is the recovery?
Most people resume their activities within a few days. Full healing takes a few weeks.
