Wisdom Teeth Extraction
in Trophy Club and Las Colinas, TX
You have four molars at the back of your mouth, top and bottom, which begin to grow between the ages of 17 and 25, the wisdom teeth.
Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Some people are lucky and have room in the jawline for the tooth to grow in naturally, while others run into trouble, as the tooth does not fit, and must be extracted. For comfortable wisdom tooth extraction, the general dentistry team at Complete Dentistry in Trophy Club is here for you.
Why Do I Need My Wisdom Teeth Extracted?
If you are one of the many people who do not have room for another permanent molar, an extraction is necessary.
With not enough room to “erupt” through the gums, these teeth can be a dental problem that must be resolved correctly. The problems associated with wisdom teeth include:
- Partially erupted, prone to decay and infection due to trapped food and debris.
- Grow in at an angle, pushing against the nearby molars
- Grow in at an angle to the back of the jawline
- Grow at a right angle within the gum, lying horizontally in the gums, causing pain
What Is an Impacted Wisdom Tooth?
When the wisdom tooth is unable to fit into the jaw, it is left stuck below the surface, called “impacted.” This situation must be addressed as soon as possible, removing the tooth to avoid infection, decay, and gum disease, along with pain, swelling, and discomfort. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to serious oral health complications if left untreated.
What Is the Procedure?
What Is the Recovery Time After Wisdom Teeth Are Removed?
The recovery from wisdom teeth extraction is typically uneventful. Initially, the area may bleed, and you will need to replace the gauze so a blood clot can form. You must avoid excessive spitting or drinking through a straw in the early stage of healing. You may need pain medication, either over-the-counter or prescription, depending on the extent of your procedure.
You can apply a cold pack to the area to help relieve pain and swelling, which typically fades within two to three days. After your procedure, take the time to rest and recover, and avoid strenuous activities for about one week. Stay hydrated with healthy drinks, and avoid any hot drinks, caffeinated, or carbonated liquids for at least a week.
Eat soft foods while your gums heal, such as yogurt or applesauce, and avoid any spicy, hard, or chewy foods that could cause a problem. You should not brush or rinse your mouth for 24 hours. Rinse with salt water after brushing or eating. The stitches (if applied) dissolve on their own. If you have any concerns, our team at Complete Dentistry is always nearby and available for help.
