There is a popular belief that wisdom teeth are painful and the removal of them is even worse. A lot of people are terrified when it comes to having their wisdom teeth removed from watching horrible YouTube videos, because their friend had a bad experience or from the pain they’re anticipating. Our Dr. Matteo Bignamini, General & Cosmetic Dentist DDS (Italy) tries to put your mind at ease by answering common questions on wisdom teeth extraction.
A wisdom tooth extraction, in experienced hands, is a generally quick and painless procedure. Before it starts, Dr. Matteo will ensure you are fully numb so you won’t feel anything. Most of his patients at the end of the procedure are surprised at how quick and painless the procedure was.
As your mouth is fully numb during the whole operation you won’t experience any pain, although you may be aware of the movement and actions happening inside your mouth. Of course, you can stop the dentist at any stage by raising your hand if you are feeling uncomfortable.
If your wisdom tooth is impacting the jawbone, the gum may need to be lifted away, the tooth sectioned in pieces and have the gum stitched back together. Again, it sounds painful but you won’t feel anything.
After having extracted a few thousand teeth, Dr. Matteo can reassure you that the dental extractions in our hands are quick and painless procedures.
Most wisdom teeth are removed within a couple of minutes and the operation is relatively quick. Wisdom teeth that are more difficult to remove can take up to twenty to thirty minutes.
