    Most wisdom tooth issues are treated by removal of the offending tooth...

    Upper wisdom teeth tend to be easier to remove and quicker to heal but this varies from person to person. Easier cases will have no post op discomfort and no recovery time to more difficult removals being sore for a day or two but most likely able to work the next day....
