FAQ

Frequently asked questions, honest answers

DL
RoDa Dental

Ideal time is late teens to early 20s (ages 17-25) when roots aren’t fully formed yet - easier surgery and faster healing. Common reasons for removal: impaction causing pain, recurring infections (pericoronitis), crowding other teeth, cysts around impacted teeth, or decay. Not all wisdom teeth need removal - Dr. Liu evaluates with 3D X-rays at our Zone 1 and Zone 9 Guatemala City clinics. If wisdom teeth are impacted, causing problems, or at risk for future issues, removal prevents complications. Schedule evaluation by age 18.

Wisdom teeth extraction costs depend on complexity, wether it’s a simple erupted wisdom tooth, partially impacted or fully impacted in bone. Most patients need 1-4 removed. Dr. Liu provides exact quote after 3D evaluation at our Zone 1 or Zone 9 clinic. Schedule your appointment today!

DL
RoDa Dental

Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) occurs when blood clot dislodges from extraction site, exposing bone - causing severe pain 3-5 days post-op. Prevention at our Guatemala City clinics: Don’t smoke 72 hours after extraction (smoking is #1 cause), don’t use straws (suction dislodges clot), don’t rinse vigorously first 24 hours, follow all post-op instructions, take prescribed antibiotics. If dry socket occurs, Dr. Liu treats with medicated packing. Our rate is <3% with proper protocols at Zone 1 and Zone 9 locations.
