Is it recommended to remove 4 wisdom teeth at one go?

Doctor's Answer

Thank you for your question. I get this question a lot and I am happy to give you my opinion.

Firstly, as with any proposed treatment, your dentist should be aware of the indications, and contraindications.

At my practice, it is not unusual to remove all the wisdom teeth at a go (when indicated) under Intra-venous sedation for guaranteed comfort during the procedure. For many of our patients, dental anxiety is a major concern and they have an option for them to be sedated.

If you prefer not to be sedated, removing all wisdom teeth can also be done under local anesthesia.

I hope this answer helps you.

Kind Regards,

Dr. Gerald Tan
