What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the very back of your mouth. They typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience problems due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to impaction or misalignment.
Why Are Wisdom Teeth Often Removed?
Wisdom teeth are often removed for several reasons:
- Impaction: When there isn’t enough space for wisdom teeth to emerge properly, they can become impacted, growing at an angle and pressing against other teeth.
- Infection: Impacted wisdom teeth can create pockets where bacteria can thrive, leading to infection and gum disease.
- Pain: Crowded or impacted wisdom teeth can cause significant discomfort and pain.
- Swelling: The eruption of wisdom teeth can cause swelling in the gums and surrounding areas.
- Dental Alignment:
Removing wisdom teeth can prevent them from pushing other teeth out of alignment, which is especially important if you’ve had orthodontic work.
What Is the Extraction Process?
The process of wisdom teeth extraction at Flossophy Dental is designed to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible:
- Consultation: Dr. Pandya will examine your teeth and take X-rays to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and the best approach for removal.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, anesthesia will be administered. The type of anesthesia used will depend on your specific needs and the complexity of the extraction.
- Extraction: Dr. Pandya will carefully remove the wisdom teeth. This procedure is typically quick and efficient.
- Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, you’ll receive detailed care instructions to manage pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled as needed.
Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQ
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies based on individual needs and the complexity of the case. While implants are more expensive than other options, they offer significant long-term benefits.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few days. Complete healing of the extraction site may take a few weeks.
What are the risks of not removing impacted wisdom teeth?
Not removing impacted wisdom teeth can lead to complications such as infection, cysts, damage to adjacent teeth, and alignment issues.
Can all wisdom teeth be removed at once?
Yes, it’s common to remove all four wisdom teeth in one appointment. Dr. Pandya will discuss the best approach for your situation.
What should I eat after the extraction?
Stick to soft foods and liquids for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that might irritate the extraction site.
What do I need for my extraction appointment?
You’ll want to wear comfortable clothing and will need a friend or family member to drive you home after the extraction. Due to the use of anesthesia, patients will not be able to safely drive themselves.
