Wisdom tooth questions, answered.
Sedation or just local?
Most extractions are local-only. Impacted or multi-tooth removals may use IV sedation, especially for nervous patients.
How long is recovery?
3–7 days for most cases. Avoid hot food, smoking, and straws for the first 24 hours.
Should I take time off work?
Yes, ideally 1–2 days for surgical removals. Routine extractions usually one day rest.
