What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last teeth to come in the mouth. They usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25, although some people may never get them. Wisdom teeth can be interestingly unique because they often don't have enough space to fully emerge, causing them to become impacted or grow sideways. This can lead to discomfort and require their removal.
When wisdom tooth extraction is needed?
When your wisdom teeth start to come in, you may experience symptoms such as pain in the back of your mouth, jaw stiffness, or swollen gums. Sometimes, these teeth don't have enough space to grow properly, causing them to become impacted. In such cases, extraction (removal) might be necessary to avoid further complications. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's a good idea to visit a San Ramon dental office for an examination and professional advice.
How does wisdom tooth removal work?
Wisdom teeth removal involves a surgical procedure. The dentist makes an incision in the gum to access the bone where the tooth is rooted. Sometimes, a small part of the bone needs to be removed to take out the tooth. Stitches or sutures are then used to close the incision made in the gum. However, stitches are not always necessary and it depends on the case.
Aftercare instructions
After the extraction of wisdom teeth, the recovery typically occurs in stages. Initially, patients may experience bleeding and are advised to apply gauze to control it. Swelling and discomfort may follow, which can be alleviated with ice packs and pain medication. As healing progresses, the jaw may stiffen, making it difficult to open the mouth fully. Ultimately, the mouth should heal completely within a few weeks, allowing patients to resume their normal activities and oral hygiene routine.
Food to eat after wisdom teeth removal
After wisdom teeth removal, it typically takes about 24 to 48 hours before you can start eating normally. However, it is important to avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods during this time to prevent any complications. While chicken salad is a good option due to its soft texture, it is best to wait a few days before consuming mango as it may be too fibrous initially. Instead, opt for softer foods to ease the healing process.
