Sometimes there may not be room in your mouth for your wisdom teeth and, as they start to come through, they push against the teeth already there or may start to come through at an angle. When this happens, you might feel some pain or discomfort, so the best thing to do is to visit your dentist.
The dentist will probably take an x-ray of your mouth to see how – or if – your wisdom teeth are coming through. From this, they will be able to make a judgement on whether or not to take them out, and how easy or difficult it might be. Extractions can also be done under sedation.
Having a tooth out is the same as having an operation and, because of this, you must look after the area to speed healing and to reduce the risk of infection.
Here are some pointers:
Your dentist may have given you some gauze to place onto the area where the tooth has been removed – if not, a clean cloth handkerchief will do just as well (but not a paper tissue).
Tooth extractions are typically recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, or causing crowding or infection. Wisdom teeth may also need removing if they are impacted or causing pain
Extractions are usually performed under local anaesthetic, and sedation is available if you’re feeling nervous. You may feel pressure but should not experience pain during the procedure.
Most patients recover within a few days. It’s normal to experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Following post-op instructions will help speed up healing and reduce the risk of infection.
Includes a comprehensive dental exam, X-rays, and a routine hygiene clean performed by the dentist. A great way to get started on your journey to a healthier smile.
