What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth that typically emerge at the back of the mouth during late teens or early twenties. Whether or not we get wisdom teeth is genetically determined, varying among individuals. In ancient times, wisdom teeth were necessary to chew tough foods, but with modern diets and smaller jaw sizes, they often cause problems like overcrowding or impacted teeth. Dentists sometimes recommend removing them to prevent potential issues.
When wisdom tooth extraction is needed?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in include jaw pain, difficulty opening mouth, swollen or tender gums, bad breath, and headaches. Wisdom teeth often lack space to fully emerge, leading to impaction or crowding, which can cause these uncomfortable symptoms. In some cases, removal is necessary to prevent further complications like infections or damage to nearby teeth. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's recommended to consult a dentist at the Owings Mills dental office for proper evaluation and guidance.
How are wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth are removed through a surgical procedure performed by a dentist. During the surgery, measures are taken to minimize bleeding and maintain a clean surgical site. The dentist starts by making an incision in the gum tissue to access the wisdom tooth. Small tools are then used to carefully loosen and remove the tooth. Throughout the process, sutures may be applied to control bleeding and promote proper healing. By taking these precautions, the dentist ensures a smooth and successful wisdom tooth removal.
Wisdom tooth aftercare
After having your wisdom teeth removed, it is important to take proper care of your mouth to aid in the healing process. You may experience bleeding for the first 24 hours, so gently bite down on a gauze pad placed on the extraction site to control it. Avoid spitting or rinsing forcefully to prevent dislodging the blood clot. Stick to soft foods and cold drinks, refrain from smoking, and maintain regular oral hygiene practices by gently brushing your teeth.
Food to eat after wisdom teeth removal
After oral surgery, it is advisable to avoid foods that can irritate or disrupt the healing process. Some foods to avoid include blended soups with chunks, as they can cause irritation to the surgery site. Additionally, it is better to avoid creamy peanut butter, as its sticky consistency may get stuck in the surgical area. Opt for soft foods such as mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies to aid in a smooth recovery.
