What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. They are the last teeth to come in and can be found at the back of the mouth, usually one on each side. Some people may have all four, while others may have fewer or none at all. Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort and may need to be removed if they don't have enough space to grow properly or if they become impacted.
Is extraction necessary for wisdom teeth?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in include swelling and pain in the jaw, headache, bad breath, difficulty opening the mouth, and a bad taste. Sometimes, there may be no symptoms at all. Whether to remove wisdom teeth depends on their position and if they cause problems. Visit the Frankfort dental office for an examination, as they can provide the best advice based on your specific situation.
How do you take out wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are removed through a surgical procedure. The dentist begins by making an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and the surrounding bone. Next, the tooth is carefully extracted from its socket in the jawbone. The dentist may need to gently drill the bone to access and remove the tooth completely. Throughout the procedure, the surrounding bone may experience some pressure and movement. However, the dentist exercises caution to minimize any damage to the bone.
Aftercare recommendations
After wisdom teeth removal, following these instructions will help speed up recovery: apply an ice pack to reduce swelling for the first 24 hours, take prescribed pain medication as directed, gently rinse with warm saltwater starting 24 hours post-surgery, avoid using straws or spitting forcefully, consume soft foods gradually, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and maintain oral hygiene by brushing gently and avoiding the surgical sites.
Post-extraction meal ideas
After wisdom teeth surgery, it is recommended to consume soft and easy-to-chew foods. Cooked squash, which is easy to mash, and cashew butter, a smooth and creamy option, are both excellent options. These foods provide necessary nutrients while being gentle on the healing gums. Remember to avoid hot or spicy foods, as well as hard and chewy substances, to ensure a smooth recovery process.
How much does it cost to remove wisdom teeth in Frankfort?
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in Frankfort may vary depending on several factors such as the type of extraction required, whether it is a simple or impacted extraction, as well as any additional costs for dental care. Whether or not dental insurance will cover this procedure and to what extent will depend on your specific insurance plan and coverage benefits. Our dental office can help you navigate through these details and provide affordable options, even if you are without insurance.
