What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25, typically referred to as a "mature age." They are the last teeth to come in and can be found at the back corners of the mouth. Interestingly, not everyone gets wisdom teeth, and some people only get one or two instead of a full set of four. The eruption of wisdom teeth can sometimes cause discomfort and may require removal if they become impacted or cause other dental problems.
When wisdom tooth extraction is needed?
When wisdom teeth come in, you may experience symptoms like swelling, pain, and discomfort at the back of your mouth. Sometimes these teeth don't have enough space to fully erupt, causing them to become impacted. Removing impacted wisdom teeth is necessary to prevent complications like crowding, shifted teeth, and gum disease. It's like removing a blocked road to keep the traffic flowing smoothly and avoid traffic jams in the future. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's best to visit a Yorba Linda dental office for a check-up.
What's the process for taking out wisdom teeth?
During wisdom teeth removal, the surgeon carefully extracts the teeth from their sockets using special instruments. Experience plays a crucial role as the surgeon must navigate around delicate nerves that are nearby. The surgeon takes great care to visualize and identify the precise location of these nerves through X-rays and other imaging techniques. By using this information and employing their surgical skills, the surgeon ensures that the nerves remain undamaged throughout the procedure.
Wisdom tooth aftercare
During wisdom teeth recovery, it is important to follow specific guidelines to promote healing and prevent complications. After the surgery, rest and avoid strenuous activities. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and take prescribed pain medications as directed. Maintain good oral hygiene by gently rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater and avoiding tobacco products. Stick to a soft food diet and drink plenty of fluids. Attend follow-up visits for proper monitoring and care.
Food to eat after wisdom teeth removal
After wisdom teeth removal, it is recommended to consume soft and easy-to-swallow foods to avoid any irritation or discomfort. Some good options include silken pumpkin soup, which provides a comforting and soothing effect, and papaya, which is gentle on the healing gums. These foods help in maintaining a nutritious diet while allowing for a smoother recovery. Remember to follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider and consult them if you have any concerns or questions.
