Wisdom Teeth Extraction
WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common dental procedure that many people are apprehensive about. The idea of oral surgery can cause anxiety even with the toughest of people. If you need wisdom teeth removal, and have fears associated with the procedure, you will be in good hands when you choose Gregorin Dental. The dental professionals on staff know how to ease anxieties and provide expert services that will have you enjoying a full recovery in no time.
WHY WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL?
The wisdom teeth or the third molars are the last teeth to descend from the jaw bone. Wisdom teeth extraction tends to occur during the late teens and early twenties, as this is when they begin to appear. Typically, when wisdom teeth come in, they descend sideways or do not completely emerge. When wisdom teeth appear and do not grow in the right direction they can affect neighboring teeth, making their removal necessary. If addressed at the first sign of their inappropriate descent many complications can be avoided. At Gregorin Dental, we can determine whether your wisdom teeth will come in properly during the early teenage years. Wisdom teeth extraction should not be delayed, as doing so can increase the risks associated with the procedure. The younger you are there are fewer complication risks.
The most common symptoms associated with the emergence of wisdom teeth include:
- Bacteria growth that often leads to infection
- Inflammation
- Swelling
- Headaches
- Toothaches
- Shifting of neighboring teeth
- Appearance of cysts around
- impacted teeth
- Trouble sleeping
- Difficulties eating
PROCEDURE FOR WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION
Have no fear when it comes time for the wisdom teeth extraction to take place. You are in caring hands when you choose Gregorin Dental, with the primary goal being your comfort and excellent dental health. If you are dealing with an existing infection from the bacteria present from your wisdom teeth, that will need to be cured before the extraction can take place.
Depending on your specific situation, if the tooth looks like more than a simple extraction you may be referred to a specialist.
RECOVERY FROM WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
The recovery time for the procedure is generally only a few days. Right after the procedure you will need to keep gauze in your mouth, putting pressure over the area resulting in a blood clot. You want to leave this blood clot undisturbed. You may be prescribed medications to help alleviate any pain you may have. Stay home with your head propped up after the initial surgery. Eating soft foods, such as pudding and creamy potatoes helps healing. Do not smoke for the first three days after the procedure and refrain from any physical activity. Carefully rinsing your mouth out with warm salt water morning, noon, and night will aid in the healing process.
