A member asked:
I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed soon, how long will the effects last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too long: If you are talking about the local anesthetic, it usually lasts about 6-7 hours on the lower jaw. If you are asking about discomfort after extraction, it depends on the type of extractions and if bone was removed.
