Dependable wisdom teeth extractions in Roswell, GA
Wisdom teeth extractions are a very common procedure that involves the removal of your third molars. Your doctor may recommend removing these teeth for several reasons, like if they are causing pain. However, not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. Many people have four wisdom teeth, while others have three, two, one or none at all.
Dr. Attia can properly examine these teeth, take X-rays and talk through your symptoms to determine if extraction is right for you.
After wisdom teeth extraction
After your wisdom teeth are removed, you will feel some soreness. Leave gauze in the area for at least 30 minutes after treatment, rest as much as possible and apply ice to your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid drinking through a straw, and skip hard or crunchy foods while the sites heal.
