What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Also known as your third molars, wisdom teeth are the last to develop in your mouth. They typically appear in your late teens or early twenties. Most people have one in each corner of their mouth, for a total of four wisdom teeth.
The wisdom teeth were once thought to be necessary for chewing food. However, they are now considered vestigial, which means they are no longer necessary for our survival. Wisdom teeth are the last ones to erupt in your mouth, making it difficult to clean since they are often located in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. This can lead to problems such as decay or infection.
What Are the Problems with Wisdom Teeth?
While some people never experience any problems with their wisdom teeth, others may need to have them removed for various reasons. Some common reasons for wisdom teeth removal include:
- Crowding – Wisdom teeth can crowd other teeth in your mouth and cause problems with alignment.
- Infection – If wisdom teeth become infected, they can cause serious problems. Infected wisdom teeth can damage the surrounding teeth and even lead to bone loss.
- Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs can form around wisdom teeth, causing damage to the surrounding teeth and bone.
- Tumors – While rare, tumors can form around wisdom teeth.
If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or other problems with your wisdom teeth, it’s crucial to see our oral surgeon immediately. They can determine if the teeth need to be removed and can perform the procedure effectively.
What Is the Wisdom Teeth Extraction Procedure?
Wisdom teeth extraction is a relatively simple procedure. Supreme Dentistry uses the latest technology and techniques to ensure that your wisdom teeth are removed safely and efficiently, using sedation options to help you relax during the procedure.
Our oral surgeon will numb the area around the tooth to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure. Once the area is numb, the tooth will be removed using special dental instruments. Sometimes, the tooth may need to be cut into pieces before it can be removed. Once the tooth is out, the area will be cleaned, and a gauze pad will be placed over the extraction site to help stop the bleeding.
After the tooth is removed, the area will be closed with stitches. You’ll be given post-operative instructions to help you recover quickly and avoid complications.
What Is the Recovery Like After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
After the procedure, you can expect some soreness and swelling in the days following the removal. This is normal and can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs. Eating soft foods and avoiding using straws while healing your mouth is also important.
Most people recover from wisdom teeth removal within a week or two. However, following our post-operative instructions and attending all follow-up appointments is necessary to ensure a quick and complication-free recovery.
