What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, they're our most mysterious set of molars. These latecomers usually erupt during our late teens or early twenties. This process can be like opening a surprise gift, as we never know when exactly they'll appear. However, the suspense and excitement typically last until we hit the ripe old age of 25. So, you might even be anticipating their grand entrance right now.
Do you really need to extract wisdom teeth?
You might feel pain at the back of your jaw, notice swelling, sensitivity, or difficulty opening your mouth when your wisdom teeth come in. Need removal? It's usually when they're impacted, causing discomfort, or posing a threat to other teeth. In Santa Clarita, we're top-tier wisdom teeth extraction specialists, ensuring minimal pain during the process.
How's a wisdom tooth extracted?
Hang in there. We understand how much you might be worrying about this. An oral surgeon makes a small cut in your gum to expose the wisdom tooth. If the tooth is still under the bone, we'll carefully remove that portion. This is done to clear a path for us to remove the tooth. It usually takes about 45 minutes, and just know that you'll be absolutely ok.
Aftercare recommendations
After your wisdom teeth removal, you'll initially feel discomfort and some swelling, which subsides within few days. You're advised to rest, avoiding strenuous activity to facilitate faster healing. It’s beneficial to include routine visits to ensure the region is healing properly. Remember, oral hygiene is crucial, but be gentle around the surgical site. Experiencing pain, bleeding, or fever? You should reach us immediately. Moreover, how easy was your recovery process? We’d love to hear.
Food suggestions after wisdom tooth surgery
After wisdom teeth removal, it's best to start with soft foods like silken tofu and tangy lemon curd. Gradually progress to a normal diet, considering your comfort. It typically takes about 1-2 weeks to comfortably eat solid foods. However, be mindful to avoid high-risk foods that could trigger infections or dry socket, as we recover differently.
