Feeling pressure in the back of your mouth? Trouble chewing or sudden jaw discomfort? These could be signs your wisdom teeth are acting up. At Medford Square Dentistry & Implants, we provide gentle, efficient, and stress-free wisdom tooth extractions right here in Medford.

Wisdom teeth usually erupt between ages 17 and 25, and more often than not, they cause complications. If you've been putting off that appointment, consider this your sign—it’s time to take action.

Why Are Wisdom Teeth Even a Problem?

Your mouth likely doesn’t have room for four extra molars. When there’s no space, these teeth become impacted—meaning they can’t fully erupt and may grow at odd angles.

Impacted wisdom teeth can:

• Cause pressure or pain against nearby teeth
• Grow sideways or partially emerge
• Trap food and bacteria in hard-to-clean areas
• Lead to gum swelling, infection, tooth decay, or gum disease

Many patients come to Medford Square Dentistry & Implants after weeks or months of discomfort—only to learn the delay worsened their condition. Don’t let that happen to you.

The Procedure – What to Expect

Nervous about surgery? Don’t be. Wisdom tooth removal at our Medford clinic is a common procedure performed with care and precision to ensure your comfort throughout.

Here’s what the process typically includes:

• Consultation: We perform an oral exam and digital X-rays to understand the tooth position.
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia (and sedation if needed) keeps you relaxed and pain-free.
• Extraction: The tooth is gently removed. If it’s impacted, a small incision may be made for access.
• Aftercare: We provide full post-op care instructions, medication if needed, and continued support.

What About Recovery?

Most patients fully recover within 3–5 days. Some swelling or mild pain is normal, but following our aftercare guidelines will promote faster healing.

Tips for Smooth Recovery:

• Stick to soft foods like yogurt and mashed potatoes.
• Avoid straws, smoking, and intense physical activity.
• Rinse gently and contact us if anything feels unusual.
