What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in your mouth. People have four wisdom teeth, but it's possible to have extra ones or none at all. They usually show up in your late teens or early twenties. These teeth can cause problems because they might not have enough space to grow properly. Some people might need to get them removed if they cause pain or damage to other teeth.
When wisdom tooth extraction is needed?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth emerging include pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness at the back of the mouth. It can also lead to difficulty opening the mouth, bad breath, and headaches. In some cases, gum disease and tooth decay can occur due to the difficulty in cleaning the area. While wisdom teeth removal is not always necessary, it is often recommended to prevent complications and maintain oral health. Visit a Belleville dental office for a professional evaluation and guidance.
How does wisdom tooth removal work?
Wisdom teeth are usually removed through a surgical procedure to alleviate pain and prevent future problems. The dentist will administer anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. With lower wisdom teeth, a small incision is made in the gum, where the tooth is then carefully extracted. Upper wisdom teeth often require a different approach as they are closer to the sinuses, involving bone removal. Following surgery, a few stitches may be needed to close the incision. Recovery time may vary, but the overall aim is to ensure a smooth and comfortable procedure.
Wisdom tooth aftercare
The fastest way to recover from wisdom teeth removal is to follow these essential tips: rest for the first 24 to 48 hours after the surgery, apply ice packs to reduce swelling, take prescribed pain medications as directed, rinse your mouth gently with saltwater, avoid smoking or using straws, eat soft foods for the first few days, and maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing and flossing after the initial 24 hours. Recovery typically takes around two weeks.
Food to eat after wisdom teeth removal
Soft foods are ideal 24 hours after wisdom tooth extraction. You can enjoy cooked quinoa, as it is easily chewed and swallowable. Jell-O is another suitable option due to its smooth consistency. Remember to avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that can irritate the extraction site. Stick to a soft, gentle diet to promote healing and prevent any complications.
