What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that grow at the back of our mouths. Most people have four wisdom teeth, but some might have fewer or none. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause trouble as they can get stuck or grow at odd angles, leading to problems with oral health. It is important to take care of our oral health by brushing, flossing, and regularly visiting the dentist.
Is extraction necessary for wisdom teeth?
When your wisdom teeth (also called third molars) start to come in, you may experience various symptoms. These can include pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the back of your mouth. Sometimes, these teeth may become impacted, meaning they don't have enough space to fully emerge. In such cases, extraction of the wisdom teeth may be necessary to avoid further complications like tooth decay, infections, and damage to nearby teeth. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to consult a dental clinic in New Brunswick for guidance.
How do you take out wisdom teeth?
To remove your wisdom teeth, the dentist will make a small cut in your gum, called an incision, to access the teeth. Sometimes, the teeth may need to be divided into smaller pieces for better removal. After taking out the teeth, the dentist might use stitches or sutures to close the incision. These stitches help the gum heal properly and reduce bleeding. While stitches are commonly used, they are not always necessary. It depends on the dentist's judgment and the complexity of the procedure.
Aftercare instructions
During wisdom teeth recovery, it is important to follow proper aftercare. Be sure to rest and avoid any strenuous activities. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and take prescribed pain medication as directed. Gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater after 24 hours and continue doing so for a few days. Stick to a soft diet and avoid using straws, smoking, or touching the surgical area with your tongue or fingers. Attend follow-up appointments for assessment and removal of stitches if necessary.
Post-extraction meal ideas
After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to gradually transition to a normal diet. Start with soft foods like rice pudding and mashed vegetables. Avoid crunchy foods, such as cucumbers, for at least a week. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as advised by your dentist. Remember to follow any specific instructions provided to ensure a speedy and smooth recovery process.
