Expert wisdom teeth removal at Riccobene Goldsboro

At Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry in Goldsboro, NC, we provide expert wisdom teeth removal to relieve your pain and protect your smile.

What is wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure that helps in removing your third molars, the last set of teeth to grow in. While some people may be able to accommodate wisdom teeth, the experience is largely painful for most. There is usually not enough space for the third molars, leading to discomfort through pain, crowding, and infection. Removing wisdom teeth is necessary to protect your overall oral health and keep your surrounding teeth healthy and aligned.

Signs you may need wisdom teeth removal

Most people may not have a problem with wisdom teeth, but they can cause serious problems for some, including impaction, partial growth, and crowding. Your wisdom teeth may need to be removed if you face any or all of the following issues:

  • Pain in or near your wisdom teeth 
  • Damage to nearby teeth 
  • Periodontitis 
  • Widespread tooth decay 
  • Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully 
  • Overlapping or crooked teeth alignment 
  • Persistent bad breath 
  • Persistent headaches

What to expect during wisdom teeth removal

Your wisdom teeth removal procedure begins with a comprehensive dental examination, during which we discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, such as jaw pain, crowding, swelling, or difficulty chewing. We will ask you about your dental history and also observe how your wisdom teeth are developing. 

We take a few digital x-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and identify any impaction or other complications. Based on your individual needs, our team of experts clarifies whether you really need a wisdom tooth removal. We also discuss and clarify the treatment process, sedative options, aftercare instructions, and treatment cost.

Recovery after wisdom teeth removal

Recovering from a wisdom teeth removal takes a few days to about a week. You may experience mild swelling and soreness. We recommend resting, eating soft foods, using ice packs, and taking pain medications.

From check-in, to my actual appointment time with my dental hygienist, my experience was amazing! I not only felt heard by my hygienist, but I felt safe and appreciated. She took her time to explain my dental history, as well as the procedure that would take place, while answering all of my questions with patience. She made sure that I was okay, during the procedure, while letting me know that I was okay. I left with gratitude. Thanks so much!

What are the signs of impacted wisdom teeth?

Common symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include jaw pain, swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, crowding, and difficulty opening your mouth.

Is wisdom teeth removal painful?

Wisdom teeth removal is generally painless as it is performed under sedation with local anesthesia. Once it wears off, you may experience soreness, swelling, and some discomfort. Post-procedural pain is normal for the first two days after the procedure, and it can be managed using pain medications.

What should I expect during wisdom teeth removal in Goldsboro?

Your treatment begins with a detailed examination and x-rays to understand the alignment of your wisdom teeth. Our team reviews your treatment plan, explains your treatment options, and gently removes the teeth. Before you leave, we provide aftercare guidance and answer any questions about recovery.

Recovery from wisdom teeth removal may take a few days or up to a week. Healing time can vary based on the number and position of the teeth removed.

Can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?

Yes, but you must wait until the anesthesia completely wears off to avoid accidentally biting your tongue or cheeks. Stick to soft, easy-to-eat foods such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, applesauce, or smoothies.
