Is wisdom teeth removal painful?
The procedure itself is not painful due to anesthesia. Some mild discomfort during recovery is normal and manageable.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients recover within a few days, though full healing may take about a week.
Does every child need their wisdom teeth removed?
Not always. Removal is only recommended if the teeth are causing or likely to cause problems.
