Removal of maxillary wisdom teeth needs to be carried out under local anesthesia, after anesthesia, the extraction process is generally not painful.
1. The first step in removing maxillary wisdom teeth is to administer anesthesia, which generally involves blocking the upper posterior alveolar nerve and the palatine nerve, plus local infiltration anesthesia if necessary. After the anesthesia takes effect, the extraction will be carried out, at this time there will only be a numb feeling, and no pain will be felt.
2. In addition, the alveolar bone at the maxillary wisdom teeth is generally looser, which may be easier to remove than the mandibular wisdom teeth. The current clinical practice emphasizes minimally invasive extraction, i.e., the trauma of tooth extraction is very small. Therefore, after the extraction, the anesthesia effect disappears, and generally will not be very painful, and the pain level is within the acceptable range of most people.
