Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth, typically emerging in late adolescence or early adulthood. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, for others, these teeth can cause discomfort, pain, and other dental problems due to lack of space, impaction, or improper eruption. In such cases, wisdom teeth extraction can offer significant advantages, including:
- Preventing Pain and Discomfort: Wisdom teeth can cause pain from impaction, swelling, and pressure on surrounding teeth, which removal helps avoid and alleviate.
- Reducing the Risk of Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, leading to infections.
- Preventing Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Wisdom teeth can crowd or push against neighboring teeth, causing damage.
- Improving Oral Hygiene: Wisdom teeth can be hard to clean, causing gum disease or cavities.
- Avoiding Cysts or Tumors: Impacted wisdom teeth can develop cysts or tumors and removing them prevents potential damage to surrounding tissue.
Our Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
Our wisdom teeth extraction process begins with a consultation, where our dentist will assess the condition of your wisdom teeth. During this evaluation, we'll review your medical history, take x-rays, and determine the most appropriate approach for your situation. On the day of the procedure, we offer both oral and IV sedation to enhance your comfort. Once the sedation takes effect, our dentist will carefully remove your wisdom teeth, and if necessary, bone grafts will be placed to support your healing. After the procedure, we will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to help guide you through your recovery.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery FAQs
We understand you may have questions regarding our wisdom tooth surgery. Our compassionate team is by your side throughout your treatment to answer your questions and offer support to enhance your comfort. We aim to help you regain your oral health and make you feel as comfortable as possible during your care. Common questions include:
The initial recovery typically takes about 3-5 days, with most discomfort and swelling subsiding during this time. Full recovery can take a few weeks, during which you'll need to follow our post-operative care instructions, such as avoiding hard foods and practicing good oral hygiene.
After surgery, eating soft foods such as mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies is important. Avoid hard, spicy, or crunchy foods that may irritate the surgical site or get stuck in the healing areas.
We recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise for at least 5-7 days after the surgery to reduce the risk of complications like increased swelling or bleeding. Light activities, like walking, are generally fine after a few days.
For the first 24 hours, you should avoid rinsing your mouth. After that, you can rinse gently with warm salt water to help with healing. Follow our dentist's instructions on when and how to start brushing your teeth again.
To aid with your recovery, you should rest, follow your post-operative care instructions, and avoid hard foods, smoking, or excessive physical activity. Keeping your head elevated and using ice packs during the first few days will help with swelling.
