What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that grow at the back of our mouths. Humans evolved to have wisdom teeth because our ancestors needed them to chew tough, uncooked foods. But nowadays, our diets have changed, and we have smaller jaws, so there's often not enough space for these extra teeth. This can cause problems like pain, infections, and crowding, which is why many people have to get them removed for better dental health.
Is it necessary to remove wisdom tooth?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in include pain, swelling, difficulty opening the mouth, bad breath, and jaw stiffness. If they are impacted or cause dental problems like decay or crowding, an oral surgeon at Saint Albans Dental Clinic may recommend removal. Prompt attention is necessary to prevent further complications. Contact Saint Albans Dental Clinic immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
How do they remove wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth removal is a fairly common procedure to extract the back molars that often cause trouble. First, a local anesthetic is used to numb the area, ensuring you won't feel any pain during the surgery. Then, a small incision is made in the gum to access the tooth. The tooth is carefully removed, and stitches may be necessary to close the incision. The entire surgery typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and you'll be closely monitored to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
Aftercare instructions
After wisdom teeth removal, the fastest way to recover is to follow a specific process. Firstly, apply an ice pack to the affected area to reduce swelling and numb the pain. Secondly, rest and avoid physical activity for the first 24 hours. Thirdly, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater a few times a day to keep the area clean. Finally, stick to a soft foods diet and avoid using straws or smoking to prevent complications. Following these steps will help speed up recovery.
Safe foods to eat post-extraction
Following wisdom teeth removal, it is advised to wait at least 24-48 hours before returning to a normal diet. However, initially, it is recommended to stick to soft foods that require minimal chewing such as cashew butter and mashed peas. These foods should be consumed at room temperature or cool to help soothe the surgical site. Gradually, you can reintroduce regular foods, ensuring to avoid hard, chewy, or spicy foods that may irritate the area.
