WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTIONDon't worry, we'll take care of it.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop in our jaw and they come through at the back of the mouth behind the last standing teeth. If you’re told that your wisdom teeth are “impacted”, it means that there is not enough space for them to grow into the jaw in a normal position or when they erupt at an angle or in an unexpected location
Most people can get back to their normal activities a few days after surgery. It takes up to six weeks for your mouth to completely heal. For about a 4 to 5 days, soft food will be suggested by the dentist. After surgery, you may experience some pain, bleeding, and swelling. Your doctor will give you specific instructions for managing discomfort, such as taking pain medications and using cold compresses. Although rare, you may develop a painful dry socket. This happens when the blood clot that’s supposed to form after surgery doesn’t form properly or becomes dislodged from the socket and exposes bone. In such cases you are advised to visit your dentist as soon as possible.
Some people with impacted wisdom teeth won’t notice any problems at all, while others will have obvious symptoms. A partially impacted wisdom tooth may cause food to become trapped and can make cleaning the tooth more difficult. For some people, a partially impacted tooth is very painful.
If the tooth becomes infected or causes other issues, you may have symptoms such as: problems opening your mouth
In other cases, the affected tooth may never break through the gums. This is known as a fully impacted wisdom tooth.
Generally, wisdom teeth become impacted because your jaw doesn’t have enough space for the teeth. Sometimes, the tooth grows in at the wrong angle, which can cause it to become impacted.
Your dentist will take X-rays and thoroughly examine your mouth before making any decisions. An X-ray can show whether your teeth are impacted and if other teeth or bones are damaged. If your teeth are impacted, you and your dentist will discuss the benefits and risks of surgery.
If your impacted wisdom teeth cause symptoms or dental problems, your dentist may suggest taking them out. Surgery to remove wisdom teeth is usually an outpatient procedure. You can go home the same day. As part of the procedure, your doctor may use anesthetic drugs to induce a type of anesthesia, such as:
The entire surgery usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. If your teeth are fully impacted and buried deep within your gums or jawbone, it might be harder for your surgeon to remove them than if they’ve broken through the gum.
Sometimes after the procedure a suture is placed that helps closing the wound. An ice pack is been provided by the clinic for decreasing the post extraction swelling.
