What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third and last set of molars that we usually see occurring in our late teens or early twenties. Now, these teeth can be a valuable asset if they're healthy and properly aligned. However, it's not uncommon to have wisdom teeth that don't appear at all. Yes, indeed. There are people who never get wisdom teeth, a condition we call 'agenesis.' It's a natural state and nothing to worry about. So, whether you're sporting those extra molars, or you're one of the select few who aren't, rest assured it's all perfectly normal.
Is extraction necessary for wisdom teeth?
The symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in may vary but generally include pain, inflammation, and discomfort. But do you have to remove them? Not always. In Ann Arbor, we perform wisdom teeth surgery when they're causing severe problems. However, there are benefits to keeping them if they're healthy and properly aligned. It's crucial to consult with us regularly to monitor their growth and address potential issues early on. Are you experiencing any discomfort?
How are wisdom teeth removed?
When removing wisdom teeth, we first ensure your comfort with a local anesthetic. This minimizes sensation as we gently extract the tooth. Sometimes, there may be incisions involved, and in these cases, we use stitches or sutures to promote healing. Stitches aren't always necessary, though. It's highly dependent on how your tooth is positioned. This procedure is straightforward, and we make every effort to ensure it's as stress-free for you as possible.
Aftercare recommendations
After wisdom teeth surgery, it's natural for us to observe a little blood in your saliva for the first 24 hours, yet we make sure it's controlled and not worrisome. Do rest and keep your head slightly elevated. Don't drink through a straw which can dislodge the clot that forms over the surgical area. You'll heal progressively and should feel more comfortable after three days.
Post-extraction meal ideas
We're diving right into the mushy world after your wisdom teeth removal – it's all smooth sailing from here. Did you know protein aids in healing? So, how about a smoothie with Greek yogurt and mango chunks, a tropical treat that's soft, easy to consume, and protein-rich. You're also good to go with scrambled eggs drizzled with caramel sauce. Unexpected, right? Even mashed beans, a surprising protein powerhouse, won't trouble your tender mouth. Remember, it's about eating protein, not hard-to-chew meats. Stay adventurous with your menu while your mouth mends.
Wisdom teeth removal cost in Ann Arbor

So, you'll need to check with your insurer and the dental office before anything else—better safe than sorry.
