What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that grow at the back of our mouths. They usually appear in our late teens or early twenties. Not everyone gets wisdom teeth, and it's quite normal. Some people may have one, two, three, or none at all. When wisdom teeth grow properly, they can help us chew food, but sometimes they cause problems and need to be removed by a dentist.
Is it necessary to remove wisdom tooth?
When your wisdom teeth begin to come in, you may experience symptoms such as pain, swelling, and tenderness in your jaw. These teeth can also cause crowding, which leads to difficulty in cleaning properly or maintaining oral health. Sometimes, removing your wisdom teeth is recommended to prevent future problems. If you're experiencing severe pain or complications like infections, it's important to seek the advice of a dentist or visit a West Milford dental clinic for evaluation and recommendations.
Impacted wisdom teeth removal
Wisdom teeth are usually removed through a surgical procedure. To extract impacted wisdom teeth, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue and may need to remove a small amount of bone that covers the tooth. Sometimes, the tooth may be divided into sections for easier removal. Once the tooth is extracted, stitches may be used to close the incision. This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia, and the experience can vary from person to person.
Aftercare recommendations
Wisdom teeth recovery involves several stages. Initially, swelling and discomfort are common, which can be managed through ice packs and prescribed pain medication. Eating soft foods and avoiding strenuous physical activities are advised during the first few days. The third stage includes the gradual reduction of swelling and pain, typically around one week after the surgery. Complete healing typically takes a few weeks, during which it's important to follow post-operative instructions, such as maintaining oral hygiene and attending post-operative check-ups.
Safe foods to eat post-extraction
After wisdom teeth removal, it's important to stick to a soft diet. Opt for gentle foods that won't require much chewing, such as soft-cooked lentils and smooth gelatin-like Jell-O. These options provide nutrients without putting too much stress on the healing area. Remember to avoid hot foods and drinks, and opt for cold or room temperature liquids to aid in the healing process.
Typical cost of wisdom tooth extraction in West Milford
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in West Milford may vary depending on factors such as the type of extraction required (simple or impacted) and any additional costs associated with dental care. Insurance coverage can help reduce the financial burden, but this will depend on the specific benefits of each individual's dental insurance plan. At our dental office, we can help you navigate through the insurance process and provide affordable options for wisdom teeth removal, even if you don't have insurance.
Urgent wisdom tooth extraction in West Milford
Wisdom tooth pain can be an emergency if it is severe and accompanied by swelling or difficulty in swallowing and breathing. However, not all wisdom tooth pain indicates impaction or infection. It is important to seek care from wisdom teeth removal experts in West Milford to accurately diagnose the issue and determine the best course of action.
