What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. They are called "wisdom teeth" because they come in when we are older and hopefully wiser. Some people never get wisdom teeth at all, while others may have all four. They can cause problems like pain, infection or crowding if there isn't enough space for them in the mouth. That's when a dentist may recommend removing them.
Should you have your wisdom teeth removed?
The symptoms of wisdom teeth emerging can include gum inflammation, jaw pain, and difficulty opening the mouth fully. Occasionally, they may cause headaches or pressure in the ears. While not all wisdom teeth require removal, those causing pain, infection, or damaging adjacent teeth usually do. It's advisable to consult with a dental professional, such as the Sierra Madre dental office, to assess your particular case and determine the best course of action for your oral health.
How do they remove wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are removed through a surgical procedure. A small incision is made in your gum to expose the underlying tooth. The tooth is then carefully extracted by a dentist. Potential risks or complications may include infection, bleeding, damaged adjacent teeth, nerve damage, or jaw stiffness. The procedure aims to alleviate pain and prevent future dental problems.
Wisdom teeth removal aftercare
After wisdom teeth extraction, the recovery process involves several stages. Initially, small blood clots form at the extraction sites to promote healing. In the first 24 hours, it is normal to experience bleeding, but it should gradually decrease. Swelling and discomfort usually peak around the third day and gradually diminish. By the end of the first week, most patients are able to resume their normal daily activities and any residual blood or discomfort should be minimal.
What to eat post-op?
After wisdom teeth removal, it is recommended to consume soft and easy-to-eat foods that are gentle on the healing gums. Fruit smoothie bowls are a great option as they provide essential nutrients and hydration. Additionally, cream of tomato soup can be another suitable choice due to its smooth consistency. These options can provide nourishment and aid in a comfortable recovery process.
