If you experience any of these, seek urgent dental care immediately.
The procedure usually takes between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the tooth’s condition and the complexity of the wisdom tooth or wisdom teeth removal.

Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or hot foods. Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, and mashed potatoes in the first few days to reduce the risk of irritation or dental infection.
