ORAL SURGERY · NEW WINDSOR, NY
Wisdom teeth, handled before they hurt.
Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth rarely fix themselves — we'll let you know if and when extraction makes sense for you.
Why it matters
Why we often recommend removal
Prevents crowding
Impacted wisdom teeth can push against neighboring teeth over time.
Reduces infection risk
Partially erupted wisdom teeth trap food and bacteria, raising infection risk.
Avoids future pain
Removing problem wisdom teeth early is often more comfortable than waiting.
X-rays confirm the need
We only recommend extraction when imaging shows it's actually necessary.

Why might wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Removal may be recommended for pain, infection, decay, crowding, gum problems, cysts, or an impacted position that threatens nearby teeth.
What should I expect after wisdom tooth extraction?
Swelling, soreness, and mild bleeding are common during early recovery. Follow the provided instructions for medication, diet, cleaning, and activity.
How long does wisdom tooth recovery take?
Most patients improve significantly within several days, although complete soft-tissue healing takes longer. More complex impactions may require additional recovery time.
