A Procedure to Safely Extract Wisdom Teeth and Prevent Dental Complications
What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure that involves extracting one or more of the third molars located at the back of the mouth. For many patients, these teeth can cause problems such as crowding, misalignment, or pain due to lack of space. In some cases, wisdom teeth remain impacted, meaning they fail to fully emerge from the gums, which can lead to infection or damage to nearby teeth.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps maintain overall oral health and prevents long-term issues.

Wisdom Tooth Removal Process
When you choose Whittier Dental Studio for wisdom tooth removal, you can expect a straightforward and comfortable process.
The procedure begins with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging so Dr. Amir Jamsheed can evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth. Once your treatment plan is confirmed, local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options may be available for anxious patients. The wisdom tooth is then carefully loosened and removed, with sutures placed if necessary to support healing.
After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to minimize swelling, manage discomfort, and promote faster recovery. Most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few days.

- Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling.
- Stick to soft foods and stay hydrated.
- Avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, or disturbing the surgical site.
- Take any prescribed medications as directed.
Follow-up visits with Dr. Jamsheed ensure proper healing and lasting results.

Answers to Common Questions About Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom Tooth Removal Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
At Whittier Dental Studio, Dr. Amir Jamsheed often recommends removing wisdom teeth when they lack sufficient space to grow properly. Without enough room, they can become impacted, grow at an angle, cause crowding, or lead to infection.
At What Age Should Wisdom Teeth Be Evaluated?
Dr. Jamsheed suggests having wisdom teeth evaluated in the late teens or early twenties. At this stage, removal is typically more straightforward, and early detection can help prevent more complicated issues.
How Can I Tell if My Wisdom Teeth Are Causing Problems?
Common signs include pain, swelling in the back of the mouth, gum tenderness, jaw stiffness, or shifting teeth. However, Dr. Jamsheed notes that some wisdom tooth issues may occur without symptoms, which is why regular checkups at Whittier Dental Studio are essential.
What Is Recovery Like After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Most patients experience mild swelling or discomfort for a few days. Dr. Jamsheed provides detailed aftercare instructions, including rest, the use of ice packs, and guidance on medication, to help you recover smoothly.
Can Wisdom Teeth Be Left in if They Aren’t Causing Pain?
In some cases, healthy, fully erupted wisdom teeth can stay in place. However, Dr. Jamsheed recommends ongoing monitoring at Whittier Dental Studio since even symptom-free wisdom teeth can cause issues later on.
