What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the back of our mouths. They usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Whether we get wisdom teeth or not is determined by genetics. Some people may have all four, some just a few, and others might be lucky to have none at all. However, not everyone's mouth has enough space for these teeth, causing them to become impacted and potentially leading to dental care issues.
When is wisdom teeth removal necessary?
The symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in are usually pain, swelling, and soreness at the back of the mouth. Some people may also experience difficulty in opening their mouths fully or have a bad taste in their mouth. In some cases, there may not be any symptoms at all. Whether or not it is necessary to remove wisdom teeth depends on various factors, such as the angle at which they are growing, available space in the mouth, and potential complications. To know for sure, it is best to schedule a consultation at a Redlands dental office where a dentist can evaluate your specific situation and provide personalized advice.
What's the process for taking out wisdom teeth?
During a wisdom teeth removal, the oral surgeon will access the surgical site by making a small incision in the gum near the tooth. Then, using special instruments, the teeth will be carefully loosened and gently rocked back and forth to loosen the roots. Once the teeth are free, they will be lifted out of the jawbone and taken out of the mouth. This procedure helps to prevent problems and discomfort caused by wisdom teeth.
Wisdom tooth healing
During wisdom teeth recovery, it is crucial to follow proper post-operative care. After surgery, gently bite down on the provided gauze pads to control bleeding and change them every 30-45 minutes until it subsides. Avoid touching the surgical area with your fingers or tongue to prevent infection. Apply an ice pack for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off to reduce swelling. Take prescribed pain medication as directed and limit physical activity for a few days to aid the healing process. Drink plenty of fluids and eat soft, cool foods. Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled.
Soft foods to eat after wisdom teeth removal
After wisdom teeth removal, you can typically start eating normally within a few days, but it's important to follow your dentist's instructions. Soft-cooked pasta and cooked quinoa can be included in your diet if they are not too hot or chewy. Remember to chew on the opposite side of your mouth and avoid any hard or crunchy foods. Stick to soft, easy-to-chew options and avoid using straws or consuming overly hot beverages.
How much should I expect to pay?
Wisdom teeth removal costs in Redlands can vary based on factors such as the type of extraction required, whether it is a simple or impacted extraction. Additional costs may be incurred for sedation and post-operative dental care. Dental insurance coverage may vary, so it is best to check with your provider regarding the specific benefits and coverage for wisdom teeth removal. Our dental office can help provide you with affordable options, even if you do not have insurance.
