Wisdom Tooth Extraction

A wisdom tooth is the last tooth to erupt in a person’s mouth. Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in, and they often cause problems because there is not enough space for them in the mouth. They are located at the very back of the mouth and usually come in between 17 and 25. Wisdom teeth can be either erupted (fully visible) or impacted (stuck underneath the gum line). Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and other dental problems such as being cancerous.

Symptoms of a wisdom tooth infection may include pain, swelling, redness, and drainage from the gum around the wisdom tooth. If left untreated, an infection can spread to the jawbone and cause a severe medical emergency.

Before your surgery, you will likely have an X-ray taken of your mouth so that your dentist can assess the position of your wisdom teeth. You will also receive anesthesia to numb the area around your wisdom teeth and keep you comfortable during the surgery. Then, they will use special tools to loosen and remove the wisdom teeth. The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour.

Most people experience some level of pain and swelling after wisdom tooth extraction, but medication over the counter can manage this effectively. It is essential to follow your dentist’s instructions for post-operative care to ensure that you heal properly. Wisdom tooth removal typically requires a few days of rest and limited activity following the surgery. Most people recover from wisdom tooth extraction within a week or two weeks; however, it highly depends on how healthy the individual was before surgery. You should also avoid drinking from a straw, smoking, and eating crunchy or chewy foods while your wisdom teeth are healing. It is also essential to drink plenty of fluids and eat soft foods in order to promote the healing process.
