What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that typically appear in the late teens or early twenties. They were useful for our ancestors who had larger jaws and needed the extra chewing power. However, due to evolution, many people don't have enough space in their mouth for these teeth to come in properly. About 35% of people are born without wisdom teeth, which is due to genetic factors. So, it's possible to be one of those lucky patients who never get wisdom teeth at all.
Is it necessary to remove wisdom tooth?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth emerging include pain, swelling, and tenderness around the back of the mouth. You may also experience jaw stiffness, difficulty opening your mouth, and headaches. In some cases, bad breath and an unpleasant taste can occur due to difficulty in cleaning the new teeth. Wisdom teeth often need to be removed if they cause pain, crowding, damage to neighboring teeth, or infection. Visit a Medford dental clinic to get proper advice and treatment for wisdom teeth concerns.
How does wisdom tooth removal work?
During the wisdom teeth removal procedure, the surgeon carefully numbs the area around the teeth to ensure you don't feel any pain or discomfort. Then, a small incision is made in the gum to access the impacted tooth. The surgeon skillfully removes the tooth, taking care not to damage any nearby nerves. Using their expertise and precision, they extract the tooth completely, allowing for a smooth and successful procedure.
Wisdom tooth healing
After the removal of wisdom teeth, the recovery process typically involves some discomfort and swelling, which can be managed through prescribed pain medication and ice packs. Patients should maintain a soft diet and avoid activities that may dislodge blood clots, such as using straws or smoking. It is essential to keep the extraction sites clean by gently rinsing with warm saltwater. It generally takes a few days to a week for the swelling and pain to subside, allowing patients to return to their normal daily activities.
Safe foods to eat post-extraction
After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to consume soft and easy-to-chew foods. On the first day, you can consider having foods like soft-cooked okra and hummus, which are gentle on the healing areas. Ensure the food is not too hot to avoid irritation. Remember to drink plenty of fluids, but avoid using straws, as the suction can dislodge blood clots. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as advised by your healthcare professional.
