Planning wisdom tooth surgery? Take advantage of time off from school or work during winter break to recover comfortably.

Before surgery, be sure to:
- Follow your oral and maxillofacial surgeon’s instructions – especially about eating, drinking and medications.
- Brush your teeth before the appointment.
- Wear loose, comfy clothing.
- Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home.

Being prepared helps everything go smoothly!

Getting your wisdom teeth evaluated between the ages of 15 and 25 can help prevent future problems. At this age:
- Roots aren’t fully formed.
- Surrounding bone is softer.
- There’s a lower risk of nerve damage.

The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) recommends a yearly check-up with a specialist to catch issues early – before they cause pain, crowding or infection.
