What exactly are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that appear at the back of our mouths usually between the ages of 17 and 25. They were pretty useful in the past when our ancestors needed to chew tougher foods, but nowadays they often cause troubles. Not everyone has wisdom teeth, and sometimes they can be impacted, which means they don't have enough space to grow properly. To keep our teeth healthy, it's important to take good care of them by practicing regular dental care.
Is wisdom tooth extraction a necessity?
When wisdom teeth start to come in, you may experience symptoms like jaw pain, swelling, and tenderness in the back of your mouth. Sometimes, these teeth don't have enough space to fully emerge, causing discomfort or even infections. Removal may be necessary to avoid further problems. Visit Concord Dental Office to get expert advice and keep your smile healthy and bright.
How do they remove wisdom teeth?
To have your wisdom teeth removed, you'll typically undergo a procedure in which the dentist will make an incision in your gums, if necessary, to access the tooth. The tooth may be divided into sections to facilitate removal. Once the tooth is removed, your dentist will close the incision with stitches. To prep for the surgery, follow your dentist's instructions regarding fasting, taking prescribed medications, and arranging for transportation.
Aftercare instructions
Wisdom teeth recovery typically involves three stages: initial healing, swelling and discomfort, and complete recovery. After the extraction, blood clots form in the extraction sites, leading to initial healing. Swelling and discomfort may occur within the first few days, but gradually decrease with time. Complete recovery involves the gum tissue fully closing over the extraction site, which can take up to two weeks. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the oral surgeon and maintain good oral hygiene to facilitate a smooth recovery process.
What to eat after wisdom tooth removal?
After wisdom tooth extraction, it is important to follow a soft food diet for the first 24 hours. Some suitable options include mashed carrots, cauliflower mash, and other pureed vegetables. These foods provide the necessary nutrients while being gentle on the healing tissues. Remember to avoid hot or spicy foods, as well as tough and crunchy items that can irritate the extraction site. Additionally, drink plenty of water and opt for cool beverages such as smoothies or milkshakes to stay hydrated.
