What exactly are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are those late bloomers making their appearance usually between the ages of 17 and 25. They're hangers-on at the back of the mouth, those third molars waiting for their chance to shine. Yet, not everyone's destined to meet these belated guests. Yes, indeed, there are fortunate souls who never get wisdom teeth. However, whether you're greeting these latecomers or in the "never-got-wisdom-teeth" squad, we're all part of the vibrant, varied world of teeth.
Is wisdom tooth extraction a necessity?
While wisdom teeth coming in, you might notice swelling, discomfort, and difficulty chewing. They may not be problematic but sometimes it's necessary to remove them, particularly if they're causing pain or crowding. In Evergreen Park, we provide reliable wisdom tooth extraction services, ensuring you're comfortable throughout. After all, your oral health is vital.
How do you take out wisdom teeth?
In wisdom teeth removal, we first make an incision in your gum, exposing both the tooth and bone. If it's covered by bone, we'll remove it so the tooth is accessible. Sometimes, the tooth is cut into smaller pieces to ease its removal. Once removed, we clean the area, stitch it up, and you're done.
Aftercare recommendations
Following wisdom teeth surgery, your recovery journey usually spans a few weeks. Initially, you might experience some swelling and discomfort, but that's completely normal. Painkillers that we prescribe will help with this. You'll also notice blood in your saliva, but don't worry; it's usual to experience light bleeding for about 24 hours or so. However, it's crucial to avoid strenuous activities and get plenty of rest. You're going to need it. Brush your teeth gently to avoid infection, and in a couple of weeks, you'll begin to feel like yourself again.
What to eat after wisdom tooth removal?
After wisdom teeth removal, it's best to consume soft foods like rice cereal and soft-cooked lentils. You should avoid food that's either too hot or too cold. Plain rice cereal, blended and cooked over a low flame, or mashed lentils can be gentle on your tender mouth. Moreover, it's wise to eat slowly and chew carefully.
How much is the average wisdom teeth removal cost in Evergreen Park?
In Evergreen Park, wisdom teeth removal cost can vary widely per tooth, depending largely on your individual case. We reckon simple procedures are less pricey than impacted wisdom teeth. However, additional costs come into play such as X-rays, anesthesia, and potential aftercare. Don't forget, your dental insurance might cover a portion of the cost. It's vital to check with your insurer prior. Moreover, we always ensure you're fully aware of any potential extra charges beforehand.
