Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?
You will feel no pain during surgery due to local anesthesia and sedation. Post-operative soreness is normal and easily managed with standard medication.

Most patients return to school or work within 3 to 5 days, with full soft tissue healing occurring over 1 to 2 weeks.
What is a dry socket and how do I avoid it?
