What's the definition of wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to grow in our mouths, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. We evolved to have these molars as a response to our ancestors' diet. Early humans consumed a lot of hard-to-chew foods like raw meat, nuts, and roots, so an extra set of molars made it easier to crush and grind tough food. Over time, however, as our diets became less demanding and our jaws smaller, wisdom teeth became less necessary. Thus, while you might not need them for chewing anymore, they're still part of our evolutionary past.
Do you really need to extract wisdom teeth?
We know it's not always easy to start the conversation about wisdom teeth. Common symptoms include jaw discomfort, inflammation and difficulty opening your mouth. Sometimes, they come in without causing any issues. However, problematic wisdom teeth often necessitate removal. So, if you're in Pawtucket and experiencing these symptoms, we highly recommend seeking professional wisdom teeth removal services. Trust us, it's worth your relief.
Impacted wisdom teeth removal
Removing wisdom teeth is a straightforward process requiring vigilance and care. We make a small cut in your gum, creating an opening to reach the tooth. It's not always visible, so sometimes bone surrounding it may need to be removed. Extracting the tooth sometimes requires sectioning it into smaller pieces for easier removal. However, rest assured, maintaining your comfort is our priority and so you'll receive proper anesthesia. Surprisingly swift, the entire wisdom teeth removal usually takes under 45 minutes. The journey towards a healthier mouth starts here and now, and remember - we're there with you every step of the way. You're embarking on a noble path to oral health; be inspired, have faith in the process, and envision the rewarding outcome.
Wisdom tooth healing
When we remove your wisdom teeth, we carefully apply gauze to minimize blood flow and safeguard the new blood clot on your sockets. It's essential to frequently replace these gauze pads, especially in the first 24 hours. Rest is your best ally and you'll need ample downtime, but remember, immediately lying down often accelerates swelling. On the other hand, applying cold packs with intermittent intervals may prove beneficial. Moreover, stringent oral hygiene is paramount; gentle rinsing with warm salt water, for instance, can expedite recovery. However, avoid any sucking or vigorous rinsing to prevent dry socket. It's quite a recovery journey, but we're in this together.
Food suggestions after wisdom tooth surgery
After wisdom teeth removal, we recommend soft foods like mashed potatoes, peach cobbler, and creamy soups. Avoid chunky types of soup as they might irritate the extraction site. Cool treats, like sorbet, are great if your mouth feels tender. Remember, hydration is crucial, so drink plenty. But, avoid straws as the sucking motion can disturb the healing process. Isn't it comforting to know there are still delicious options available?
