For some of us, our wisdom teeth Extraction will pop right out of our gums without any complications and will act like new normal teeth. For the majority of us, however, the emergence of our wisdom teeth can cause an overabundance of space in the back of our mouth. This overabundance can cause the wisdom tooth to only partially emerge or to grow crookedly into the mouth (these are called impacted wisdom teeth).
Wisdom teeth Extraction are known to protrude at all angles and can sometimes push teeth out of line. To minimize the impact on surrounding teeth, bone and gum tissue, wisdom teeth should be removed sooner rather than later.
As the new tooth tries to move into your mouth, it creates an overhanging pocket of gum tissue, making it much harder to keep this pocket clean, which can lead to:
Whether you come to Truly Dental suffering from wisdom tooth pain or pain in the surrounding tooth(s) or jaw(s), or you come in for a regular dental appointment, your dentist will perform a full dental exam to evaluate your risk for wisdom tooth Extraction issues both now and the future. Your dentist may need to take some dental x-rays to determine your tooth’s position and shape, as well as to determine if there’s any damage or decay, or if there is any misalignment of adjacent teeth.
If the wisdom tooth Extraction or tooth has grown in a straight line, then the process of removing the tooth is relatively simple. Your dentist can inform you of this as soon as possible. They can remove the tooth using standard dental instruments and surgery is not necessary.
In most cases, however, the angle at which wisdom teeth come out means that they’re impacted (not fully erupting from the gumline), meaning that in most cases, wisdom teeth will need to be removed by surgery.
Once the anaesthetic wears off, we can assure you that you won’t feel much more than a bit of pressure during the procedure.
If you are given dental sedation, you will need to have an adult friend or family member accompany you to the clinic. They will also need to come home with you and look after you for 24 hours after the procedure.
Swelling, bleeding, bruising and pain at the site of the tooth extraction are the most common signs and may last up to 48 hours after the procedure. The body's natural healing process starts almost immediately after the procedure. Your dentist will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to promote and support healing after your procedure. Overall, it may take up to a week or two after your appointment for full recovery.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure aimed at alleviating pain and preventing future oral health issues caused by impacted or misaligned third molars. While the process may seem intimidating, it offers significant benefits for overall dental health. By undergoing extraction with the guidance of skilled dental professional and following post-operative care instructions diligently, individuals can experience a smoother recovery and enjoy improved oral well-being in the long term.
