Why Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Extracted
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop. Sometimes, they emerge from the gum line, and the jaw is large enough to allow room for them. However, more often, they fail to emerge and become impacted due to lack of space. This can lead to various problems, some of which can spread and become life-threating, including:
– Pain and swelling
– Infection or gum disease
– Damage to adjacent teeth
– Development of cysts
Extraction of wisdom teeth is a preventive measure to avoid such complications and maintain oral health. We routinely advised patients to consider removing them at an earlier age, when they are easier to be removed.
The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure
Our approach to wisdom tooth extraction is patient-centric, focusing on comfort and safety. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation and Examination
Your visit will start with a thorough examination, including X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth.
Anesthesia
We offer several anesthesia options to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
The Extraction
Our dental surgeon occasionally may need to make a small incision in the gum to remove the wisdom tooth. The method of extraction varies depending on the tooth’s position and stage of development.
Closure
The area is then cleaned, and if necessary, sutures are placed to aid healing.
Recovery
You will rest under our care until you are ready to be taken home, with post-operative instructions and necessary prescriptions.
Post-Operative Care
To ensure a successful recovery, follow these guidelines:
Rest
Take it easy for the first 24 hours. Avoid strenuous activity for a few days.
Pain Management
Use prescribed pain relievers as directed
Swelling and Bruising
Apply ice packs to the cheek in 15-minute intervals.
Diet
Eat soft foods and gradually reintroduce solid foods as healing progresses.
Oral Hygiene
Gently rinse your mouth with salt water several times a day after the first 24 hours. Avoid brushing the surgical site for the first few days.
Follow-up
Attend follow-up appointments as advised to ensure proper healing.
