I have been seeing Dr Kitts for at least 30 years, since I was a very small child and he was still at the previous office location. Even when I was living in another state, I timed my dentist appointments for my visits back to WA when possible. You cannot find a better dentist. The new office is very well equipped with the latest tech. The team is fantastic - typically I see Brett. I've never had a negative experience, not even when I was a little kid.

Frequently asked questions
Here are responses to questions patients often ask about wisdom teeth removal. This information helps explain the process and recovery, but we’ll provide more specific details based on your particular case.
What are wisdom teeth and why do they need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge at the back of the mouth, usually in the late teenage years or early twenties. Sometimes there isn’t enough room in the mouth for them to come through properly, which can cause pain, infection, and damage to other teeth. That’s why they often need to be removed.
How long does it take to recover from a wisdom tooth removal?
Typically, the recovery time for the extraction of wisdom teeth is about three to four days. There will be some moderate discomfort. For impacted teeth or those that came in at an awkward angle, the recovery time could be as long as a week.
Is wisdom tooth removal painful?
During the procedure, you will be completely numb in the area being worked on. Our dentist will use a local anesthetic to ensure you have a pain-free experience. If at any time you experience pain, we will stop, and give you more anesthetic.
What are the risks associated with wisdom tooth removal?
Like any surgical procedure, wisdom tooth removal carries some risks. These can include excessive bleeding, infection, nerve damage, or damage to nearby teeth. Your dentist or oral surgeon will discuss these risks with you and take steps to minimize them.
How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?
Your dentist or oral surgeon can evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth through an X-ray and determine if they need to be removed. Common signs that indicate the need for wisdom teeth removal include pain or swelling in the back of the mouth, difficulty opening the mouth, or pressure on the surrounding teeth.
What should I do to take care of my mouth after wisdom tooth removal?
Following the procedure, you’ll need to take extra care of your mouth to promote healing and prevent infection. This may include using ice packs to reduce swelling, eating soft foods, avoiding smoking, and practicing good oral hygiene. Your dentist or oral surgeon will provide specific instructions based on your individual case.
What can I expect during the wisdom tooth removal procedure?
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, and the surgeon will make an incision in the gum to access the tooth. They may need to remove some bone or cut the tooth into smaller pieces to make it easier to remove. Once the tooth is removed, the incision will be closed with stitches, and gauze will be placed over the extraction site to help stop the bleeding.
