What does wisdom teeth extraction consist of?
If wisdom teeth have surfaced above the gum-line, usually they can be extracted simply by your dentist using local anesthesia and forceps. Treatment is usually completed in one visit. If the wisdom teeth are impacted, meaning well under the gum-line, oral surgery conducted by a licensed Redondo Beach oral surgeon will be necessary. Because the oral surgeon will be required to make incisions into the gums, sedation or even general anesthesia is used to relax the patient during care.
