A member asked:
Once the patient's mouth is numb, about how long does it take to remove a wisdom tooth that's erupted/not impacted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variables: Depends on training, skill, and experience of the practitioner, angle of the tooth, shape of the roots, health of the patient, and so many other factors. Simple extraction, just a few minutes. But the more complex the surgery, yeh longer it will take. See a specialist Oral Surgeon for examination and determination of complexity.
