Wisdom Teeth Removal
Our Services
SmileWorks Dental Doreen
It is important to consider wisdom teeth removal if one is experiencing symptoms such as jaw pain, infection, damage to nearby teeth, cysts, gum disease, or tooth decay, as these may indicate potential issues that require attention.
In such cases, a visit to the dental clinic is necessary to accurately assess the situation and determine the best course of action. X-rays will be taken to evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and the potential impact on the adjacent and adult teeth.
Depending on the severity of the situation, the options of orthodontic treatment or a surgical procedure may be considered. In cases of dental emergency, such as severe infection or damage, dental implants may be recommended.
Ultimately, the dentist can advise on the best course of action for each situation.
Failure to extract impacted third molars may result in various issues, such as pain, misalignment, infection, and cyst formation.
Misalignment of the teeth and jaw can also occur if a wisdom tooth is not removed. A misaligned bite can affect the entire mouth, leading to difficulty chewing and speaking.
Infection is another potential complication of not getting a wisdom tooth extracted. Gum infection can occur if the teeth are not properly cared for and can cause swelling, pain, and bad breath. Cysts can also form around an impacted wisdom tooth, damaging the roots of nearby teeth and the bone that supports your teeth.
It is important to seek professional advice when considering wisdom teeth removal. Wisdom tooth extractions are generally performed by an emergency dentist or oral surgeon. Discussing the dental procedure, the entire procedure, the risks associated with wisdom teeth, and same-day appointments are important. With the help of a professional, you can determine the best possible solution for your wisdom teeth removal and reduce the risk of any potential complications.
In certain cases, the complexity of an individual’s extraction and overall health may recommend that wisdom teeth be removed in multiple procedures instead of all in one session. This is particularly true if the wisdom teeth are impacted, inaccessible, or the patient is at a higher risk due to medical conditions.
In these scenarios, a qualified anaesthetist and a team of dental professionals must be present to ensure the patient’s safety during the procedure. Dental services that focus on wisdom tooth removal are highly efficient and take into account the patient’s individual needs and safety processes.
As such, deciding whether to remove all wisdom teeth simultaneously or in multiple procedures is ultimately dependent on the patient’s oral health and the dentist’s recommendation.
The average recuperation period following a wisdom tooth extraction is estimated to be up to two weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s overall health. It is important to understand that the recovery time will vary from person to person, and dental professionals may advise their patients to take a few days off work or school to ensure a successful recovery.
To aid in the healing process, it is recommended to follow a few simple steps:
The friendly team of dental professionals will guide the process and answer any questions. With the right guidance and recovery time, the patient can enjoy a healthy smile for life.
Crowding in the mouth can be mitigated by removing wisdom teeth, providing a path to a healthier, more comfortable bite.
When wisdom teeth emerge, they can push other teeth out of the way, leading to misalignment or overcrowding. Removing the wisdom teeth can help prevent overcrowding, but it cannot correct any misalignment that the wisdom teeth may have caused.
To correct crooked teeth, implant placements, cosmetic tooth alignment, and high-quality false teeth may be necessary. Additionally, a screw-in tooth or metal post may be used to restore a tooth; in some cases, natural tooth alignment can be achieved without losing any teeth.
It is important to consider post-operative care after wisdom teeth removal, as it can significantly impact the procedure’s success. Following the instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon is essential to ensure a speedy recovery and reduce the risk of complications.
Common post-operative care measures include taking prescribed pain relief and antibiotics, using an ice pack to reduce swelling, and rinsing the mouth with warm salt water to keep the area clean. Additionally, it is important to focus on maintaining a soft food diet for the first few days after the procedure.
With the help of quality dentistry and professional care, wisdom teeth removal can positively affect your oral health.
