What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually come in during the late teens or early twenties. They are the last teeth to appear and can be found at the back of the mouth. Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort or pain when they don't have enough space to grow properly. Sometimes they can even become impacted, which means they get stuck under the gums. Taking care of wisdom teeth is important for maintaining a healthy mouth.
Is extraction necessary for wisdom teeth?
When wisdom teeth start to grow, you might feel discomfort and pain in the back of your mouth, similar to a pebble stuck in your shoe. Sometimes, these teeth can cause swelling, redness, or even infections. However, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, it depends on the individual's situation. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's best to visit your local Holly Springs dental office for a check-up.
How does wisdom tooth removal work?
Wisdom teeth are typically removed through a surgical procedure. The dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue, remove any bone covering the tooth, and then extract the wisdom tooth. Potential risks of this surgery include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and dry socket. However, the dentist will take necessary steps to minimize these risks and ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
Wisdom tooth aftercare
To speed up recovery from wisdom teeth removal, it is crucial to follow the post-operative care instructions provided by the oral surgeon. Rest and avoid any strenuous activities, maintain a soft food diet, and rinse gently with warm saltwater frequently. Applying cold compresses to the face and taking prescribed pain medications as directed can help manage swelling and discomfort. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and address any concerns promptly.
Post-extraction meal ideas
After wisdom teeth removal, it is generally recommended to consume a soft diet for the first few days to promote healing. You may gradually return to eating normally within 3-7 days, depending on individual healing progress. However, it is important to avoid hard, chewy, and sticky foods during the initial recovery period. Soft foods like mashed kiwi and subtly sautéed mushrooms can be incorporated into your diet once your dentist or oral surgeon gives you the green light.
How much should I expect to pay?
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in Holly Springs can vary depending on factors such as the type of extraction needed (simple or impacted) and any additional costs for dental care. Coverage by dental insurance may vary, but our dental office can help you determine if your insurance provides any benefits for wisdom teeth removal. For those without insurance, our goal is to provide affordable options to help you receive the necessary dental care you need.
Urgent wisdom tooth extraction in Holly Springs
Wisdom tooth pain can be considered an emergency if it is accompanied by severe swelling or difficulty in breathing and swallowing. However, mild to moderate pain can generally be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers until a dental evaluation is possible. The duration of wisdom tooth pain varies, but it typically lasts for a few days to a couple of weeks. If you are experiencing wisdom tooth pain, we recommend seeking advice from our walk-in clinic to determine the best course of action. Our team of experienced dentists in Holly Springs can provide expert wisdom tooth removal services.
