Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Painless Dental Surgery

Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Painless Dental Surgery 

I just had my impacted wisdom tooth extracted this past week and I wanted to talk about my overall experience with the procedure and the healing process.  

Here is my Facebook Post from the day of the dental procedure: "❤️Heartfelt thank you to Dr. David Geiger and Andrea Willis for taking such good care of me today. Not gunna lie I was a little nervous this morning, but in the end, there was absolutely nothing to worry about!" 

The day of my wisdom tooth surgery, I was a little nervous. Dr. Geiger recommended that I use Nitrous Oxide to help me relax during the procedure. At LADD Dental Group, we offer multiple forms of sedation dentistry, but I felt like Nitrous was the best sedation dentistry option for me.  

During the procedure I didn't feel any pain. There were certain times that I felt pressure and could feel them applying force to get the tooth out, but I never felt pain. Dr. Geiger made sure I was comfortable to entire time, and kept me informed during the surgery.  

As you can see in the video, I didn't even feel the tooth come out. The entire procedure took about 35 minutes and it was a much better experience than I was expecting. Dr. Geiger and his dental team deserve a ton of credit and I am so grateful for the level of care they provided me. 

After the procedure I was a little sore, but nothing major. It was a little tender to eat, but other than that, it really has not been a bad post-op healing process.  I was given some pain pills and a few other medications to help with the healing, but overall I have felt pretty well. 

I have had a little bit of swelling the past 48 hours, but again, nothing major. My wife and I even got a little bike ride and walk in the past few days. 

All things considered, I have had a very good wisdom tooth surgery experience. The level of care I received at LADD Dental Group in McCordsville was exceptional, and the healing process has been very smooth. 

If you are struggling with wisdom teeth pain, give the experts at LADD Dental Group a call today!
