What exactly are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are our third molars, right at the back of the oral cavity. We typically have four - one in each corner of our mouth. However, it's not unusual for some of us to have less or even none at all. Given their late arrival, often when we're in our late teens, they've been dubbed 'wisdom teeth.' They can be quite the unseen neighbors, causing no disturbance, or they may play up, just like a rowdy roomie at night.
Is wisdom tooth extraction a necessity?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth emerging include swelling, pain in your mouth, headaches and difficulty opening your mouth. It's not always necessary to remove wisdom teeth. However, we may recommend extraction if they are causing discomfort, are badly positioned, or at risk of causing infection. As a leading provider of wisdom tooth extractions in Lakeland, we assure you're in good hands.
How do they remove wisdom teeth?
We get started by numbing your mouth with a local anesthetic, so you won't feel a thing during the procedure. Then, we gently open up the gum tissue over the wisdom tooth, revealing the tooth and its surrounding bone. But here's the interesting part: to remove the tooth, we might have to break it into smaller pieces - don't worry, you won't feel this either. Meanwhile, the surrounding bone remains unaffected, as we're super careful to only target the wisdom tooth and cause minimal disturbances to your mouth. It's like a surgical masterpiece happening right inside your mouth. Cool, isn't it?
Wisdom tooth healing
After wisdom teeth surgery, we initially encounter slight discomfort and swelling. Don't worry, this is normal. It's within the first 48 hours that you might notice a small quantity of blood: absolutely nothing to panic about. This is just your body's way of healing. Gradually, over the course of a week, these symptoms fade, leading to a full recovery. Remember, we're here for you throughout this healing journey, ensuring a smooth transition back to your normal self.
What to eat after wisdom tooth removal?
We urge you to stick to soft foods like mashed acorn squash, ripe bananas, or yogurt after wisdom teeth surgery. Even liquified foods like broths and applesauce are beneficial. It's okay to eat peaches, but make sure they're soft. However, avoid sweet candies or sugary drinks, they definitely raise the risk of infection.
How much does it cost to remove wisdom teeth in Lakeland?
We understand that the out-of-pocket costs for wisdom teeth removal in Lakeland can seem daunting, but it's crucial you understand that the total fee typically includes everything. This isn't just the initial procedure; it also involves any necessary post-operative care and follow-up appointments. Though we can't provide specific figures here, you're strongly advised to confirm this directly with your dental office. It's important that we all stay informed so no unexpected cost catches you off-guard.
Emergency wisdom tooth extraction in Lakeland
Wisdom tooth pain's an annoyance, but is it an emergency? Not always. But persistent, worsening pain? That's when we suggest getting on-call with a wisdom tooth removal specialist in Lakeland. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help in the meantime - ibuprofen's a popular choice. Remember, though: they're not a long-term solution. It's like plugging a dam with a thumb: wise to seek a proper fix sooner than later.
