What exactly are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that grow at the back of our mouth. Most people have four wisdom teeth, but some may have fewer or none at all. These teeth usually start to emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes, wisdom teeth can cause problems and may need to be removed by a dentist. Taking care of our teeth through regular dental care, like brushing and flossing, can help prevent issues with wisdom teeth.
Is wisdom tooth extraction a necessity?
When wisdom teeth come in, they can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discomfort in the back of the mouth. Other signs may include jaw stiffness, headaches, and difficulty opening the mouth fully. In some cases, wisdom teeth can become impacted or cause crowding, leading to complications like infections or damage to neighboring teeth. It is necessary to remove wisdom teeth if they cause persistent problems or pose a risk to oral health. To address these issues, it is recommended to visit a dentist, like the Avondale dental office, for a proper evaluation and advice.
How does wisdom tooth removal work?
Removing wisdom teeth involves a surgical procedure to extract the impacted teeth which are stuck beneath the gums. The dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth, and may also remove some bone if necessary. Through the incision, the dentist will carefully extract the wisdom tooth, ensuring minimal pain and discomfort. This procedure is done using different surgical techniques tailored to the specific case, ensuring a successful and smooth extraction of the wisdom tooth.
Wisdom tooth healing
To expedite the healing process after wisdom teeth removal, there are a few essential measures to take. Firstly, gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater to ensure cleanliness and promote healing of the wound. Apply an ice pack on the outside of your cheek periodically to reduce swelling. Stick to a soft food diet for a few days, avoiding crunchy or hard foods. Lastly, follow your dentist's prescribed medications and attend follow-up appointments for optimal recovery.
What to eat after wisdom tooth removal?
Following wisdom teeth removal, it's generally advised to wait until the anesthesia wears off before eating anything. Once the numbness subsides, you can gradually resume a normal diet. However, it's recommended to avoid hard and chewy foods for the first few days. Soft and easily chewable foods like rice pudding and tofu salad can be consumed as they do not require much chewing and help in maintaining adequate nutrition during the initial recovery period.
