Ten plain points for the days after surgery

Sleep, food, hygiene, and the habits that make recovery harder.

Keep your head a little raised, eat soft lukewarm food, leave cigarettes aside, and do not inspect the site with your tongue or fingers. Take medicines as written, not more.

Keep brushing the rest of the mouth. If pain rises instead of settling, or a bad taste and fever appear, tell the clinic. This list does not replace your own after-care note.

Wisdom Tooth Surgery

Wisdom teeth usually erupt in late adolescence or early adulthood. Limited space, nerve proximity, or gum inflammation may lead to a surgical plan under local anesthesia or sedation. Imaging and clinical examination help explain timing, risks, and alternatives—always on an individual basis.

Frequently asked questions

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

No. If the tooth is healthy, cleansable, and free of gum problems, periodic monitoring may be enough.

What is reasonable to expect after surgery?

Mild swelling, temporary discomfort, and a soft diet are common in the first days. Medication and oral-hygiene instructions are tailored to you.

When should I contact the clinic urgently?

High fever, heavy persistent bleeding, breathing difficulty, or uncontrolled worsening pain need prompt evaluation.
