Wisdom tooth removal procedure
What are wisdom teeth?
The wisdom teeth are the third canine teeth, which can grow on either side of the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both. They usually appear between 17 and 25 years of age. Many wisdom teeth develop properly, but for some people, due to lack of space in the mouth and other reasons, the wisdom teeth do not develop properly or cannot fully or partially erupt from the gums. Problems with wisdom teeth most often require removal, especially if the teeth or gums become infected or adversely affect adjacent teeth. It is important to have regular dental check-ups and to monitor the growth of the wisdom tooth. With regular check-ups, your dentist can identify any problems in time, before they develop into an acute condition or damage occurs.
How is the removal of a fully grown-in wisdom tooth performed?
At OrthoDental, wisdom teeth can be removed in a simple procedure, just like any other tooth. Our experts will make sure that the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and, as a result, is not painful during the procedure itself.
Why remove wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are most often removed due to improper eruption, difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, pain during eruption, or frequent inflammation. If you are experiencing any of these problems, see your dentist as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary problems.
Impacted wisdom teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth require a more complex surgical procedure involving an oral surgeon and a general dentist. This type of surgery is also performed under local anesthesia to prevent pain during the procedure.
The removal of an impacted or partially impacted wisdom tooth is done by pulling back the mucosa over the unerupted or partially erupted tooth. The bone above the tooth is then removed and, if necessary, the tooth is cut. The tooth is then removed using special tools, and the wound is stitched up after removal.
Reasons to remove wisdom teeth
There are various reasons why it is a good decision to remove a wisdom tooth. In most cases, wisdom teeth should be removed if they are not properly developed, as this is when they are most likely to cause problems and also make it difficult to maintain oral hygiene. Pain and frequent inflammation of the gum tissues can also often occur. Another reason for removal is, that sometimes the wisdom tooth damages the roots of an adjacent tooth due to its improper position, and in some people, it causes overcrowding of teeth.
If you have any of these problems, it is best to see a dentist as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary complications.
Are you afraid of getting your wisdom tooth removed?
Removing wisdom teeth can cause anxiety or fear for many people, as wisdom teeth are known to cause pain and discomfort. But the facts say otherwise and at OrthoDental you are always in good hands. Professionally performed wisdom tooth removal is actually relatively uncomplicated and poses minimal risk. It is a procedure that is performed every day in oral surgery practices around the world. If you are concerned about wisdom teeth removal, it is important to visit us beforehand to speak to one of our trusted dentists who will be able to reassure you and answer any questions you may have.
Is wisdom tooth removal always required?
If wisdom teeth grow without pain or complications, they may not need to be removed. It is important to consult a dentist who can properly assess your individual case and decide accordingly. In some cases, wisdom teeth do not cause problems and can be kept, but wisdom teeth should be monitored for signs of infection or decay with regular X-rays and check-ups. If wisdom teeth remain in the mouth, it is important to practice good oral hygiene and ensure that the gums and other teeth remain healthy.
How to prepare for wisdom tooth removal?
You do not need to prepare for wisdom tooth removal and you can eat a normal meal before the procedure. If you are ill, it is better to postpone the wisdom tooth removal and have the procedure when you are healthy again.
The time it takes to remove a wisdom tooth varies widely but usually takes up to an hour. It mainly depends on the position of the wisdom tooth. In some cases, the removal is carried out by a general dentist, but if the position is more difficult, the procedure is carried out by an oral surgeon who ensures that the wisdom tooth is removed in a professional manner.
What does recovery after the wisdom tooth removal look like?
After the procedure, the anesthetic wears off within 2 to 4 hours. Mild to moderate pain may then occur. It is usually present for 1 to 3 days and can be relieved with painkillers according to your doctor’s instructions. Sometimes swelling of the cheek may also occur.
It is best to cool the area with compresses every hour for about 15 minutes. In most cases, the swelling goes down within a week. In addition, it is very important not to rinse the site of the wound and not to pick at it.
In the first few days after the procedure, it is best to eat soft and lukewarm foods. It is best if you avoid alcoholic drinks, spicy foods, and smoking. It is also advisable to rest for a few days and to avoid physical activity. You can brush your other teeth as usual but do not brush the area of the wound or stitches.
