Question 1

Do impacted teeth always need to be extracted?

Accepted Answer

They should be removed if they carry risks such as pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, or cyst formation. Teeth that are completely embedded in the bone and cause no issues can be monitored with periodic X-rays.

Question 2

Is impacted tooth surgery painful?

Accepted Answer

Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, you will not feel any pain during the operation. After the procedure, the prescription provided by your doctor and ice application ensure a comfortable recovery.

Question 3

Will my face swell significantly after extraction?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the difficulty of the operation, mild to moderate swelling is normal. Cold compresses applied for the first 24 hours help keep the swelling to a minimum.

Question 4

How long does the recovery process take?

Accepted Answer

There may be slight discomfort for the first 2-3 days. Stitches are usually removed after 1 week, and the tissues in the area are completely healed within about 10 days.

Question 5

When does the anesthesia wear off? When can I eat?

Accepted Answer

The effect of anesthesia usually lasts 2-3 hours on average. You should not eat during this time to avoid biting your tongue or lips; afterwards, warm and soft foods should be consumed for that day.
