What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to grow in the back of our mouth. Most people have four wisdom teeth, but some might have fewer or none at all. These teeth usually come in between the ages of 17 and 25, which is why they're called "wisdom" teeth. Sometimes, they can cause problems like pain or crowding, which is why some people need to have them removed. It's important to take good care of our teeth, including our wisdom teeth, to keep our smile healthy and happy.
Should you have your wisdom teeth removed?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth emerging include pain, swelling, bad breath, difficulty opening mouth, and pressure in the jaw. Impacted wisdom teeth, which don't have enough space to grow, should be removed to avoid problems like decay, gum infection, and crowding. Extraction offers benefits like pain relief, prevention of complications, and improved overall oral health. Seek assistance at a South San Francisco dental office for expert guidance and care.
Impacted wisdom teeth removal
During the wisdom teeth removal procedure, the surgical site is accessed by creating a small incision in your gums. We ensure your comfort by using local anesthesia to numb the area. The teeth are then carefully removed using specialized instruments and techniques. Our skilled team will ensure a safe and gentle extraction process, helping you feel at ease throughout the procedure.
Wisdom teeth removal aftercare
After a wisdom teeth surgery, it is crucial to follow specific steps for recovery. Take prescribed pain medication and use ice packs to reduce swelling. Rest and avoid strenuous activities to aid healing. Replace gauze pads as instructed and maintain oral hygiene without disturbing the surgical site. Consume soft foods and liquids, gradually reintroducing a normal diet. Avoid smoking, using a straw, or spitting forcefully. Rinse gently with warm saltwater and take ibuprofen for pain management if advised. Follow all post-operative instructions provided by your oral surgeon.
What to eat post-op?
After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to stick to a soft-food diet until the surgical area has healed properly. Typically, you can start eating normally after about two weeks. In the meantime, you can enjoy gentle options like tilapia and custard, which are soft and easy to chew. Remember to follow any specific dietary instructions provided by your healthcare professional for a smooth recovery.
How much should I expect to pay?
Wisdom teeth removal costs in South San Francisco can vary based on factors such as the type of extraction needed, whether it is a simple or impacted extraction, and any additional necessary treatments. Dental insurance coverage varies, and some plans may partially or fully cover wisdom teeth removal. We recommend contacting our dental office to discuss your specific insurance coverage and benefit details. If you don't have dental insurance, we can still help you by offering affordable options for the procedure and providing necessary dental care.
