What is wisdom tooth removal?

Wisdom tooth removal is a procedure to remove one or more of the third molars located at the back of your mouth. These teeth, commonly known as wisdom teeth, often come between the ages of 17 and 25. They can cause pain, infection, or other dental issues when they don't have enough space to grow properly.

Why is wisdom tooth removal necessary?

Wisdom tooth removal is necessary because it helps to prevent or address problems such as:

Impaction: When wisdom teeth are trapped in the jawbone or gums, causing pain and potential damage to nearby teeth.

Crowding: Wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment.

Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are vulnerable to infection and gum disease.

Decay: Difficulty cleaning wisdom teeth can lead to cavities and decay.

How do I know if I need my wisdom teeth removed?

Signs that you might need wisdom tooth removal include:

  • Constant pain or discomfort at the back of your mouth
  • Swelling or redness around the gums
  • Difficulty opening your mouth
  • Bad breath or unpleasant taste due to infection
  • Crowding of other teeth

Is wisdom tooth removal painful?

With proper anesthesia, you will not feel pain during the extraction. After the procedure, some discomfort, swelling, and mild pain are normal. Our dentist will provide pain relief medications and aftercare instructions to manage any post-surgical discomfort.

How long does the recovery take?

Recovery from wisdom tooth removal generally takes about 1 to 2 weeks. Initial healing occurs within a few days, but complete recovery of the surgical site can take a bit longer. During the first few days, you should rest, avoid strenuous activities, and follow your dentist's care instructions to ensure proper healing.

How should I care for my mouth after wisdom tooth removal?

Post-operative care is important for a smooth recovery:

  • Rest: Avoid physical exertion and rest as much as possible.
  • Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
  • Soft Foods: Avoid chewing near the extraction site and eat soft foods.
  • Oral Hygiene: Rinse gently with salt water, and don't brush the extraction site for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw: These actions could dislodge the blood clot and cause dry sockets.

Can I work or go to school after wisdom tooth removal?

It is advisable to take at least one or two days off from work or school to rest and recover after the procedure. Depending on your recovery progress and the nature of your work or school activities, you may need a few more days to return to your routine fully.
