How long does it take to remove wisdom teeth

The time required for wisdom tooth extraction varies slightly depending on the location of the wisdom tooth and the resistance; usually it can be completed in about ten minutes to two hours. 1. Maxillary Wisdom Teeth: When the growth direction of maxillary wisdom teeth is normal and the resistance is small, the wisdom teeth can be extracted within ten minutes; if there is an abnormal growth direction or greater resistance, the time for wisdom teeth extraction may be extended to about one hour. 2. Mandibular wisdom teeth: the difficulty of extracting mandibular wisdom teeth is greater than that of extracting maxillary wisdom teeth; when mandibular wisdom teeth do not have abnormal growth direction and resistance is small, the extraction can usually be completed in less than half an hour; when the situation of mandibular wisdom teeth is more complicated, there is serious resistance or abnormal growth direction, compression of the dental nerve and other abnormalities, the time for extracting mandibular wisdom teeth may be extended to one to two hours. When extracting wisdom teeth, you should cooperate with the doctor to carry out relevant examinations, and after extraction, you should follow the doctor’s instructions to protect the extraction socket in order to avoid infection; if there are abnormalities in the teeth, you should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
