What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are an extra set of molars that typically appear in the back of the mouth during the late teenage years or early twenties. They are the last teeth to emerge, and some people may have none at all. Wisdom teeth were helpful for our ancestors to chew tough, uncooked foods, but due to the evolution of our diet and smaller jaws, they often cause problems and may need to be taken out.
Should you have your wisdom teeth removed?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in include pain, swelling, redness, jaw stiffness, and difficulty opening the mouth. Removal may be necessary if there are problems like overcrowding, cavities, infections, or cysts. Also, if the wisdom teeth are impacted or causing pain, removal should be considered. For personalized advice, it's best to consult with a qualified dental professional at a Floral Park dental clinic.
Impacted wisdom teeth removal
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure performed to ensure the well-being of patients. When wisdom teeth are deeply impacted, surgery becomes necessary. The procedure involves making a small incision in the gum to access the tooth, followed by gently removing the tooth, and closing the incision with dissolvable stitches. Sedation or anesthesia is used to ensure a comfortable experience. The surgery is performed carefully, with focus on minimizing any discomfort to the patient.
Wisdom tooth healing
After wisdom teeth removal, it is common to experience some bleeding, which should be controlled by placing a gauze pad over the affected area and biting down firmly for about one hour. It is important to avoid rinsing, spitting, or using a straw during the first 24 hours to ensure proper blood clot formation. Swelling and discomfort can be managed with ice packs, pain medications, and following a soft food diet.
What to eat post-op?
After wisdom teeth removal, it is recommended to consume easy-to-eat, soft foods that won't irritate the surgical sites. Foods like oatmeal, mashed potatoes, and blended soups are good options. Avocado can also be a great choice, as it is smooth and gentle on the healing areas. Be sure to avoid hot foods and drinks, as they can disrupt the healing process. It is best to stick to a soft diet until you have fully recovered.
