Wisdom Teeth Causing Trouble? We Can Help
Wisdom teeth don’t always grow in the way they should. When they become impacted or misaligned, they can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and even damage to nearby teeth. If you’ve been dealing with discomfort or your dentist has recommended extraction, now is the time to take action.
Our Towson wisdom tooth removal is a quick, routine procedure that prevents future dental issues and brings lasting relief. Visit us today at Towson Smile Care.
Why Wisdom Teeth Removal Matters
Stop crowding before it starts
Wisdom teeth can shift your existing teeth, leading to misalignment and undoing years of orthodontic work.
Reduce the risk of cavities
Their hard-to-reach position makes wisdom teeth difficult to clean, leaving them prone to decay and cavities.
Prevent gum disease
Trapped food and bacteria around impacted wisdom teeth can cause inflammation and increase the risk of periodontal disease.
Minimize future dental costs
By removing problematic wisdom teeth early, you can prevent more costly and complex dental issues down the line.
FAQs
How many days does it take to recover from wisdom teeth removal?
Most people feel significantly better within 3–5 days. However, full healing of the gums and bone can take a few weeks. Following aftercare instructions helps speed up recovery.
How painful is a wisdom tooth removal?
During the procedure, you won’t feel pain due to anesthesia. Afterward, you may experience mild to moderate discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.
Is it true that days 2 and 3 are typically the most painful after getting your wisdom teeth removed?
This is when the anesthetic has fully worn off, and swelling and inflammation peak. If you experience a significant increase in pain, bleeding, or oozing between days three and five, contact your oral surgeon.
Is it a good idea to remove wisdom teeth?
It depends. If your wisdom teeth are impacted, causing pain, or affecting nearby teeth, removal is often the best option to prevent future problems.
What can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soups for the first few days. Avoid crunchy, spicy, or hot foods that could irritate the area.

The wisdom teeth are carefully removed to prevent crowding, pain, and potential infections.
