Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery that involves extracting one or more of your third molars—these are the last set of teeth to emerge, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they often lack enough room to grow in properly, wisdom teeth can become impacted (trapped under the gums), partially erupted, or grow in at an angle, causing pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. At MK&C Dental in Kettering, OH, we provide gentle, precise wisdom teeth extractions using advanced technology and sedation options to ensure a safe, stress-free experience.

Call to Schedule Connect with UsWisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are impacted (unable to emerge properly), causing pain, infection, or misalignment of other teeth. They may also need to be removed if there isn’t enough space in your mouth for them to grow properly.
The procedure involves numbing the area with local anesthesia or offering sedation, depending on your preference. The wisdom teeth are then carefully removed by our dentist or oral surgeon.
The procedure itself is painless because of the anesthesia or sedation. After the procedure, some swelling and discomfort are normal, but this can be managed with pain medication and proper aftercare.
Most people experience some swelling and discomfort for 2-3 days following the extraction. Full recovery may take a few weeks, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
While complications are rare, possible risks include infection, dry socket (when the blood clot is dislodged), or damage to surrounding teeth or nerves. Following the post-procedure care instructions can help minimize these risks.
