What exactly are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that grow at the back of our mouths. They used to be helpful long ago when humans ate tough foods like roots and leaves, so they needed the extra teeth for chewing. But over time, our diet changed, and now we don't need them anymore. In fact, they often cause dental problems like crowding and infections, so sometimes they need to be removed. Taking care of our dental health is important to keep our teeth strong and healthy.
Do I need to have my wisdom teeth removed?
When wisdom teeth come in, you may experience symptoms like jaw pain, swelling, headaches, and difficulty opening your mouth. These teeth can also cause crowding, tooth decay, and infections. Sometimes, wisdom teeth come in fine and don't need to be removed. The best way to know is by scheduling a consultation at our La Verne dental office, where our experts can evaluate your specific case and advise you accordingly.
How's a wisdom tooth extracted?
During wisdom teeth removal, the oral surgeon or dentist first makes a small incision in the gum to access the surgical site. Then, they may need to slightly cut away any bone that is covering the tooth. To remove the wisdom tooth itself, the dentist uses special tools to carefully loosen it from its socket and gently pulls it out. This process is repeated for any additional wisdom teeth that need to be removed.
Wisdom tooth healing
After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to follow proper instructions for a smooth recovery. Rest and avoid engaging in strenuous activities. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and eat only soft foods. Avoid using straws, smoking, or drinking alcohol to prevent complications. Take prescribed pain medication and antibiotics as instructed. Rinse your mouth gently with warm saltwater, and maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing gently and avoiding the extraction sites. Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled.
Best foods to eat after wisdom tooth removal
After wisdom teeth removal, it is advisable to consume soft and easy-to-chew foods to avoid causing irritation or discomfort. Foods like grits can be a good option as they are soft and comforting. Additionally, incorporating tangerines into your diet can provide some refreshing and vitamin-rich benefits. Remember to avoid foods that are too hot or cold, and opt for easy-to-swallow options that won't disrupt the healing process of the surgical site.
Typical cost of wisdom tooth extraction in La Verne
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in La Verne varies depending on the type of extraction required, such as simple extraction or impacted extraction. Additional costs might apply depending on the specific dental care needed. Dental insurance may cover a portion of the procedure, but coverage and benefits can vary. Our dental office can help you navigate insurance options if you're unsure. For patients without insurance, we strive to provide affordable treatment options.
Emergency wisdom tooth extraction in La Verne
Wisdom tooth pain should be evaluated by a dentist to determine the urgency of the situation. TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, can cause similar symptoms such as jaw pain and headaches. It is important to seek proper care from a qualified dentist who can differentiate between the two conditions. For the best wisdom teeth removal dentists in La Verne, we recommend conducting research, reading reviews, and consulting with friends or family for reliable recommendations.
