What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are a set of four teeth that grow at the back corners of our mouths. They usually appear when we are around 17 to 25 years old, which is why they're called "wisdom teeth" because they come in when we're older and (supposedly) wiser. These teeth were handy for our ancestors who needed an extra set of molars to grind tough food. Today, though, they often cause problems because our jaws are smaller than those of our ancestors. Taking care of our dental health is important, so remember to brush, floss, and visit the dentist regularly.
Should you have your wisdom teeth removed?
When your wisdom teeth are coming in, you may experience symptoms like pain in the back of your mouth where those teeth are located. Your gums might become swollen and tender, and you could have difficulty chewing or opening your mouth wide. Sometimes, wisdom teeth can also cause headache or jaw pain. While not everyone needs to remove their wisdom teeth, if they are causing problems like pain or overcrowding, a dentist at Syosset dental clinic might recommend removing them to prevent future issues.
How's a wisdom tooth extracted?
During a wisdom tooth removal procedure, the dentist will first administer local anesthesia to numb the area. Then, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue to access the wisdom tooth. If necessary, the tooth may be divided into sections for easier removal. After the tooth is extracted, stitches or sutures may be used to close the incision. However, stitches are not always necessary depending on the case. The dentist will determine the need for stitches based on factors like the location and complexity of the extraction. Remember, you got this.
Aftercare instructions
After wisdom teeth removal, the fastest way to recover is to apply constant pressure by gently biting down on the gauze placed over the extraction site. Replace the gauze every 30 minutes until bleeding stops. Use an ice pack on the outside of the face near the extraction area to reduce swelling. Avoid strenuous activities for a few days and follow all post-operative instructions provided by the oral surgeon.
What to eat post-op?
After oral surgery, it is important to avoid certain foods that can disrupt the healing process. It is recommended to avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that may cause irritation or dislodge the blood clot forming in the surgical area. Therefore, it is best to avoid foods like soft-cooked shrimp that may be difficult to chew or foods like macaroni and cheese that are sticky in nature. Opt for soft, easy-to-chew foods and avoid anything that may cause pain, discomfort, or hinder the healing process.
