What Are Wisdom Teeth & Why Remove Them?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to grow in, usually between 17 and 25. While some people have no issues, others experience serious problems:
- Impacted wisdom teeth (stuck under gums or at the wrong angle)
- Jaw or gum pain
- Tooth decay from trapped food
- Infection and swollen gums tissue
- Pressure on other teeth or shifting alignment
- Cysts or fluid-filled sacs around the tooth
Even if there’s no pain yet, your wisdom tooth removal dentist may recommend early removal to avoid future complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my wisdom teeth are causing a problem?
Problem wisdom teeth may cause pain at the back of the mouth, swollen or tender gums, jaw discomfort, difficulty chewing, or trouble cleaning around the tooth. A dental exam and X-rays can help determine whether a wisdom tooth is causing the symptoms.
Why would my wisdom tooth need to come out?
Removal may be recommended if a wisdom tooth is impacted, repeatedly infected, badly damaged, or causing problems with the surrounding gums or nearby teeth. The decision depends on the position and condition of the tooth.
My wisdom tooth is only partly through the gum. Does it need to be removed?
Not necessarily. A partially erupted wisdom tooth should be evaluated if it causes pain, swelling, infection, or is difficult to keep clean. The dentist can check its position and determine whether removal is appropriate.
Do I have to remove my wisdom teeth if they aren’t bothering me?
No. Wisdom teeth do not automatically need to be removed. If they are healthy, properly positioned, and can be kept clean, removal may not be necessary. A dentist can monitor them for changes over time.
What actually happens when a wisdom tooth is removed?
The treatment area is numbed before the tooth is removed. How the tooth is taken out depends on whether it has fully erupted, is partially covered by gum tissue, or is impacted beneath the gum or bone.
Will I feel anything while my wisdom tooth is being pulled?
Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area. You may notice pressure or movement during the procedure, but the area should be numb.
How long will it take to remove my wisdom tooth?
The time depends on the tooth’s position and how difficult it is to remove. A fully erupted wisdom tooth may be more straightforward to extract than one that is impacted.
Can I have more than one wisdom tooth removed during the same appointment?
Yes. Multiple wisdom teeth may sometimes be removed during one visit. The dentist will consider their positions, the complexity of the extractions, and your individual treatment needs.
How will I feel after having a wisdom tooth removed?
Some soreness, swelling, and tenderness are common during the first few days. These symptoms generally improve as the extraction site begins to heal.
How many days will I need to recover after wisdom tooth removal?
Recovery varies depending on the number of teeth removed and the complexity of the procedure. Many people begin feeling better within several days, although the extraction sites continue healing for longer.
What can I eat while my wisdom tooth extraction site is healing?
Soft foods that require little chewing are usually easier at first. Options may include yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, eggs, and lukewarm soup. Follow the specific eating instructions provided after your procedure.
What should I avoid so I don’t get dry socket after my wisdom tooth is removed?
Follow your post-extraction instructions carefully and avoid activities that can disturb the blood clot forming in the socket. Smoking, using straws, and forceful rinsing or spitting are commonly avoided during the early healing period.
My wisdom tooth suddenly hurts and my gum is swollen. Should I have it checked today?
Yes. Pain and swelling around a wisdom tooth can occur when the surrounding tissues become irritated or infected. Prompt evaluation is particularly important if the symptoms are becoming worse.
Can I get a painful wisdom tooth checked the same day in Upland?
Same-day appointments may be available for wisdom tooth pain, swelling, or other urgent symptoms. Call (909) 285-9850 to ask about the earliest available appointment.
When does wisdom tooth pain need urgent attention?
Seek prompt dental care if the pain is severe or occurs with increasing swelling, fever, drainage, a bad taste, or difficulty opening your mouth. Difficulty breathing or swallowing requires immediate medical attention.
Will the dentist remove my wisdom tooth at the first appointment?
Same-day removal may be possible in some cases, but the dentist will need to examine the tooth and may take X-rays first. The tooth’s position, your symptoms, and the complexity of the extraction help determine whether it can be removed during that visit.
How do I schedule a wisdom teeth removal appointment in Upland?
Call (909) 285-9850 or use the online appointment form to request a visit. When scheduling, describe where you are having pain.
