What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars, which are the last teeth to come in. They usually appear in people's mouths between the ages of 17 and 25. Unlike other teeth, wisdom teeth are not always necessary because our jaws are now smaller than our ancient ancestors'. Sometimes, these teeth can cause problems like pain or crowding. While some lucky people have no problems with their wisdom teeth, many others have to get them removed by a dentist to prevent complications.
Is extraction necessary for wisdom teeth?
When wisdom teeth come in, they can cause various symptoms. These include pain and swelling in the back of the mouth, tenderness around the gums, and difficulty opening the mouth. Sometimes, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to bad breath as well. Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they cause persistent pain, infection, damage to nearby teeth, or if there isn't enough space for them to properly come in. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a dental professional, such as the Tooele dental clinic, to assess and address the situation.
How are wisdom teeth removed?
Removing wisdom teeth is a common experience for many young adults. During the surgery, your dentist will carefully extract the teeth, ensuring a smooth process. The duration of the surgery may vary, typically ranging from 45 minutes to an hour. While it may seem daunting, remember that this procedure aims to improve your oral health and prevent future complications. So trust your dentist, and embrace the opportunity for a healthier, brighter smile.
Wisdom tooth aftercare
Following wisdom teeth removal, the recovery process involves healing. Initially, the area may be numb due to local anesthesia which gradually wears off. Swelling and discomfort may occur and gradually subside over a few days. To promote healing, it is advisable to rest, apply ice packs, and maintain good oral hygiene. Consuming soft foods, avoiding strenuous activities, and taking prescribed medications as instructed can aid in a smooth recovery.
Post-extraction meal ideas
After wisdom teeth removal, it is important to gradually transition to a normal diet. Initially, it is best to consume soft and easy-to-eat foods like oatmeal and steamed carrots. These foods are gentle on the healing extraction sites and can be consumed approximately 24 to 48 hours after surgery. Remember to avoid hard, chewy, or spicy foods that may irritate the surgical sites. Always follow your dentist's specific instructions regarding your diet and post-operative care.
