What exactly are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are additional molars that usually emerge in the late teens or early twenties, considered to be a mature age. However, not everyone gets wisdom teeth, as some people may never develop them. These third molars were vital for our ancestors who had a different diet, but with the evolution of our jaws becoming smaller, wisdom teeth often don't have enough space to grow properly. In such cases, they can cause pain, infection, or misalignment of other teeth, leading to their removal.
Do I need to have my wisdom teeth removed?
When wisdom teeth start to come in, you may experience symptoms like pain and swelling in the back of your mouth, difficulty opening your mouth fully, or bad breath. Sometimes, they can cause crowding and push other teeth out of alignment. Whether you need to remove these wisdom teeth depends on factors like if they are impacted or causing problems. To be sure, it is best to visit Wallington Dental Clinic for an examination and consultation with a professional dentist.
Impacted wisdom teeth removal
During a wisdom teeth removal procedure, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue to access the teeth. Sometimes, a small portion of the surrounding bone may need to be removed as well to ensure complete extraction. This is done carefully to preserve the overall structure of the bone and maintain its strength. By removing the wisdom teeth and any necessary bone, it allows for optimal healing and prevents any future complications.
Aftercare recommendations
The quickest way to recover from wisdom teeth removal is to ensure proper blood clot formation in the surgical area. To achieve this, gently bite down on a gauze pad for around 30 minutes following the procedure, replacing it as necessary. Avoid spitting, rinsing forcefully, or using a straw for 24 hours as these may dislodge the clot. Additionally, adhere to prescribed pain medications, maintain good oral hygiene, and consume soft foods to aid in a speedy recovery.
Best foods to eat after wisdom tooth removal
Following wisdom teeth removal, it is important to wait until the anesthesia has completely worn off before eating. Once cleared by your oral surgeon, generally after 24 hours, you can slowly start eating normally. During the initial stages of recovery, soft foods like creamed spinach can be consumed. However, it is essential to avoid any hard or crunchy foods, such as cucumber, as they may disrupt the healing process or cause discomfort.
How much for wisdom teeth removal in Wallington?
