Are you experiencing discomfort or complications with your wisdom teeth? Our professionals are here to alleviate pain and ensure your wisdom tooth removal is as smooth as possible.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Some individuals may have them grow earlier or later in life, and some may not develop them at all. Wisdom teeth often emerge after the other permanent teeth have already erupted, so there’s usually insufficient space in the mouth for them to come in properly. This increases the risk of complications that extraction can help solve, including:
Before the procedure, you will receive anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. You may feel pressure and movement as the tooth is being removed. However, you should not experience pain.
Once you are comfortably numb or sedated, we will make an incision in the gum tissue (if necessary) to access the wisdom tooth. We will carefully remove the tooth, sometimes in sections, to minimize the impact on surrounding tissues. The incision may be closed with stitches, which can be dissolvable or require removal at a later appointment.
After wisdom tooth extraction, following the provided aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing is crucial. These instructions may include proper oral hygiene practices, dietary recommendations, and avoiding certain activities that can impede the healing process. Our dental team will be available to address any concerns or questions you may have during your recovery period.
Recovery can take up to two weeks, and you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. This will gradually improve over time.
If you are experiencing wisdom tooth-related pain or complications, do not hesitate to seek treatment. Contact Jade Dental today to schedule a consultation, and let our caring team take care of your wisdom tooth extraction needs.
