What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. They are leftover from when our ancestors needed large, strong jaws to chew tough foods. However, not everyone has wisdom teeth. Some people don't develop them at all, while others have them but they never emerge. Although wisdom teeth can be healthy, they often cause problems like pain, infection, or crowding of other teeth, which may require their removal for overall oral health.
Is it necessary to remove wisdom tooth?
Symptoms of wisdom teeth coming in include pain, facial swelling, jaw stiffness, and difficulty in opening the mouth. In some cases, it may cause crowding or shifting of other teeth leading to decay and gum disease. Wisdom teeth removal becomes necessary when they are impacted, causing pain and potential damage to adjacent teeth. Regular check-ups at Arlington dental clinic can help identify if removal is required for better oral health.
How's a wisdom tooth extracted?
During the surgical removal of wisdom teeth, a local anesthetic is first administered to numb the area where the teeth are located. Subsequently, an incision is made in the gums to access the impacted teeth. In some cases, a small amount of surrounding bone may need to be removed to facilitate the extraction. By carefully separating the wisdom teeth from their surrounding tissues and gently rocking them back and forth, they can then be safely extracted from the jaw. Throughout this process, the surrounding bone may experience minor reshaping to smoothen any irregularities.
Wisdom teeth removal aftercare
After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to follow certain post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing. Take prescribed medications, such as ibuprofen, to manage pain and reduce swelling. Apply an ice pack for the first 24 hours. Avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for the first 24 hours. After that, gently rinse with warm saltwater several times a day. Stick to soft foods and avoid hot drinks and smoking. Maintain oral hygiene by gently brushing and flossing, but avoid the surgical area. Follow-up with your dentist for any concerns.
Safe foods to eat post-extraction
After wisdom tooth extraction, it is important to consume soft and easily chewable foods. You can consider eating soft-cooked lentils, which provide a good source of protein, and baby cereal, which is easily digestible. These foods are gentle on the surgical site and can be consumed 24 hours after the procedure. Remember to avoid hot, spicy, and hard foods during this period. Also, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoid using straws as it can disrupt the healing process.
