What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, our third set of molars, typically appear between 17 and 25 years – the age 'we' are deemed 'wise'. However, not all of us will experience this dental 'rite of passage'. Indeed, it's possible you may be among the 35% of people who are 'missing' these teeth altogether. A genetic quirk, not having wisdom teeth is nothing to fret about; it simply means they've never developed below the surface. So, you're not alone.
Is it necessary to remove wisdom tooth?
If you're feeling discomfort near your molars, ears, or if there's inflammation, it's likely your wisdom teeth are coming in. Sometimes, they're no trouble. However, if they're improperly aligned or impacted, you may need professional wisdom teeth removal services. We're here in Half Moon Bay, ready to make the process comfortable and hassle-free. You don't have to struggle with these symptoms alone.
How do they remove wisdom teeth?
In a wisdom teeth removal surgery, we first numb the area with a local anesthetic. With a small incision in the gum tissue, we extract the tooth; if your tooth is impacted, we may have to remove surrounding bone to access it. To minimize bleeding, we use sutures that also help ensure a clean surgical site, all while you're safeguarded under our watchful care.
Aftercare recommendations
Recovering from wisdom teeth surgery is a process. It's important to rest, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activity. Swelling and discomfort are normal after surgery, yet will usually subside after a few days. Using ice packs can help with swelling and pain. By strictly following post-surgical instructions from your dentist, you can speed up recovery and prevent possible complications. Besides, allowing yourself enough recovery time, usually a week, is vital to ensure a thorough healing process.
Safe foods to eat post-extraction
After wisdom teeth removal, it's vital to stick to a liquid diet to allow the gums to heal. Nevertheless, soft yet nutrition-packed alternatives like cooked couscous or cheese grits can be included. It's a trade-off but remember, our goal is to guard your recovery. For about a week, this regimen should prevail. Don't give in to the craving for crunchy food, your perseverance will pay off.
How much does it cost to remove wisdom teeth in Half Moon Bay?
In Half Moon Bay, the cost for wisdom teeth removal depends on a number of factors, namely whether they've fully emerged or are impacted. If you're dealing with impacted wisdom teeth, the procedure is more complicated, requiring oral surgeons for extraction. Therefore, it's typically more expensive than the removal of fully erupted wisdom teeth. It's important to discuss these considerations with your oral healthcare provider to fully understand the potential expenses.
Urgent wisdom tooth extraction in Half Moon Bay
While wisdom tooth pain isn't usually classified as an emergency, it can feel downright unbearable after hours when help seems distant. Don't fret; we empathize with the unease and discomfort you could be experiencing. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen can afford temporary relief. Nonetheless, for a more permanent solution, a skilled dentist for wisdom tooth extraction in Half Moon Bay is imperative. Remember, we are here for you, even during your most painful moments.
