So, your wisdom teeth have decided to show up late to the party—typical, right? At Prairie Oral & Facial Surgery, we’ve seen it all when it comes to those extra molars that just don’t know when to quit. If you’re Googling “wisdom teeth removal Fargo” while nervously poking at a sore spot in your mouth, we’ve got you covered. Our team makes the process simple, smooth, and dare we say… almost enjoyable?
Whether you have impacted teeth, teeth crowding the rest of your smile, or teeth overstaying their welcome, our surgeons know how to step in with precision and care. Dr. Haas and Dr. Smart bring a calming, confident energy to every visit because we know the words “oral surgery” can be a little intimidating.
Why Do We Even Have Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are those mysterious third molars that usually appear between ages 17 and 25, right when you think you’re done growing. Once useful to our ancestors who needed more chewing power for raw plants and roots, these teeth have mostly outlived their purpose.
Today, most jaws don’t have room for them. So, instead of helping you munch on kale, they crowd your smile, grow sideways, or get stuck under the gums (impacted). And that’s where our Fargo team comes in.
When Is It Time to Say Goodbye?
Some people have all four wisdom teeth, some have none, and a lucky few get just one or two. But if you’re feeling pressure, jaw pain, swelling, or noticing your other teeth shifting, it’s probably time.
Our patients often say:
- “It feels like something’s pushing my back molars.”
- “I have jaw pain on one side, especially when chewing.”
- “My gums are sore or swollen in the back.”
- “My orthodontist told me they need to come out.”
If any of these sound familiar, book a consultation with our Prairie Oral & Facial Surgery team. We’ll take a look and walk you through everything step-by-step.
The Process of Wisdom Teeth Removal in Fargo
Here’s what to expect when you come in for wisdom teeth removal in Fargo:
Step 1: The Consultation
The surgeon examines your mouth, reviews digital X-rays, and explains your wisdom teeth positions. We’ll answer all your questions—like how long you’ll need to rest and what foods are safe (hello, mashed potatoes).
Step 2: The Day of Surgery
You’ll arrive at our welcoming office, where we’ve designed the space to feel calm and supportive. The doctor walks you through what’s happening, and our team makes sure you feel comfortable with sedation or anesthesia options.
Step 3: Recovery Mode
After the procedure, our staff provides detailed instructions for aftercare. Most patients take it easy for a few days, rest with good movies, and stick to soft foods. Within a week, you’ll feel like yourself again—just with fewer teeth.
