Can I eat and drink after my extraction?

Do tooth extractions hurt?
Our team will ensure you are numb and comfortable during the procedure. After the extraction, we may prescribe medications to manage any discomfort or infection.
Is it good to remove wisdom teeth?
Every person is unique. If your wisdom teeth aren’t causing any problems, then there’s usually no reason to have them removed. If your wisdom teeth are causing problems, we’ll recommend removing them as soon as possible. Especially for teenagers, getting wisdom teeth extracted is a proactive way to prevent painful impaction, gum inflammation, and other issues in the future.
