What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in our mouths, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. As part of our dental health, we typically have four wisdom teeth - two on the top and two on the bottom. However, some of us may have fewer or even none at all. In essence, your total count can vary based on individual genetic differences.
Is it necessary to remove wisdom tooth?
We understand you're curious about wisdom teeth symptoms. Common signs include swollen, tender gums, pain in the jaw, difficulty opening your mouth, and a feeling of crowding among your back teeth. While it's normal to experience discomfort, persistent pain may signal problems. You're probably asking, "are extraction services necessary?" Here in Mishawaka, we offer renowned wisdom teeth extraction service, but removal isn't always the answer. It's case by case.
How do they remove wisdom teeth?
We understand that getting your wisdom teeth removed may seem daunting, but it's mostly a straightforward procedure. First, we'll nudge you into dreamland with either local, sedation or general anesthesia, so you won't feel a thing. Then, a small incision is made in the gum tissue in order to expose the tooth, which is then removed. It's not as scary as it sounds, we promise. Trust us, you're in capable hands.
Wisdom tooth aftercare
After wisdom teeth surgery, we usually experience some swelling. Right after the surgery, we'll use a cold pack to help curb that pesky swelling, easing discomfort and promoting healing. During the initial days, we'll rest and take it easy, but don't fret - it's completely normal to feel a bit out of sorts. If the swelling persists or increases, it's important to call your healthcare provider; they're there to help. However, most of us see the swelling subside and start feeling like ourselves again within a week. Simple routines, such as gentle mouth rinses and careful dental hygiene, can also aid in speedy recovery. But remember - don't rush the recovery process. After all, our body needs time to heal.
Safe foods to eat post-extraction
Post wisdom tooth extraction, it's all about comfortable eating. Opt for soft foods like custards, spelt porridge -it's so nutritious- and yogurt. Steamed clams, mashed potatoes too, they're gentle on swollen gums. Stay hydrated; drink lots of fluids, but no straws. On the other hand, avoid hard, crunchy foods like chips and popcorn. Avoid spicy and acidic foods. Overall, a gentle diet will speed your recovery.
How much is the average wisdom teeth removal cost in Mishawaka?
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in Mishawaka varies, depending on your very specific circumstances. Moreover, the initial estimate might not cover everything; for example, it's possible you'll need follow-up visits, meds, or even specialized care. However, don't worry about covering all these costs at once as we provide payment plans tailored to fit your budget. You're never left in the dark with us - we'll ensure you're aware of any potential additional charges, so there are no surprises.
Emergency wisdom tooth extraction in Mishawaka
While wisdom tooth pain can certainly be uncomfortable, it's not usually treated as an emergency unless there's sudden, severe pain after hours. However, this doesn't always mean the tooth is impacted or infected. We want to reassure you that wisdom teeth removal specialists in Mishawaka are ready to diagnose and treat whatever issue you're facing. You're not alone.
