What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, situated at the back of your mouth, are the last to emerge, usually in our late teens or early twenties. They're a part of our dental health archetype signifying maturity, hence the name 'wisdom.' However, you might even be among the 35% of people who never get wisdom teeth. Isn't it interesting how we're all a little different in the dental department?
Is extraction necessary for wisdom teeth?
We've noticed that wisdom teeth coming in can cause an array of symptoms. You may experience pain in the back of your mouth, red or swollen gums near the area, and even a swollen face. However, not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. It's only necessary when they're causing problems like discomfort or crowding of other teeth. To ensure you're receiving the best care, we recommend seeing expert oral surgeons for wisdom teeth in Greenlawn.
How does wisdom tooth removal work?
We begin the procedure by numbing the area around your wisdom tooth with a local anesthetic so you're comfortable. With the area numb, we make a small cut in your gum to expose the tooth and the surrounding bone. Using a special tool, we remove any bone that is blocking access to the root of the tooth. Finally, we carefully extract the wisdom tooth. Despite sounding a bit dramatic, this procedure is commonly performed and generally doesn't cause any permanent damage to the surrounding bone. While you might feel a bit of pressure, rest assured, we're here to make the process as smooth and painless as possible for you. The trickiest part? It’s deciding what movie to watch when you're taking it easy afterward.
Aftercare instructions
After removing your wisdom teeth, we anticipate some discomfort and swelling, which is perfectly normal. You might see a bit of blood, but don't worry, it's part of the healing process. It's essential to rest for a couple of days, allowing your body to focus on recovery. Gradually, discomfort will fade, swelling will decrease, and normalcy will return. We're always here to support you throughout this journey. However, remember, each recovery is unique, be patient with yourself.
Post-extraction meal ideas
We know it's tricky to decide what to eat after wisdom teeth removal, but foods like cauliflower mash are a great choice. They're soft, easy to eat, and hearty enough to fill you up. You might think roast beef is off the cards but slow-cooked and shredded, it's both soft and packed with iron to aid healing. As for vitamins, you'll want a lot of vitamin C and K – these support your immune system and blood clotting. Foods like bell peppers, oranges, and leafy greens can get you those. Supplements work, too, if they've been okayed by your healthcare provider.
