In your initial consultation your dentist will evaluate your mouth and inspect your wisdom teeth. He or she will be looking to see if the wisdoms are impacted, if there is any infection present or if there are signs of decay.
If your case is straightforward you will probably have the procedure performed in your dentist’s chair. Your gum will be numbed with local anaesthetic so that your dentist can cut into it. Your dentist will extract your tooth after cleaning the area up. Because of the anaesthetic you will probably feel the pressure of the tooth being removed but you should not feel any pain.
If your wisdoms are impacted, or your jaw is too small for the dentist to access he may recommend a general anaesthetic. If you are going to have multiple wisdoms extracted at the same time you may also be given general anaesthetic.
