Maybe: Depending on the position of the impacted tooth, the size of the surgical wound and your health status, the discomfort level may vary. Most of the time, it is discomfort rather than pain. The dentist will give you instruction and medication for post-op care.

Impaction surgery: The removal of impacted tooth is a serious surgical procedure. Sedation dentistry is used to provide a safe, comfortable relaxing and anxiety-free experience for certain people receiving any dental treatment. Depending on your degree of fear or anxiety, different levels of sedation may be required include general anesthesia. Take care and have a comfortable experience.
