Wisdom teeth, known as third molars, typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. For many individuals, these teeth do not have enough space to erupt fully, leading to impaction. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause a range of problems, including:
Wisdom tooth removal, or third molar extraction, is a common dental procedure to minimize the issues related to impacted wisdom teeth. Dazzling Dents Clinic has a team of skilled dental experts specializing in painless and efficient wisdom tooth removal.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Wisdom teeth are suggested to be removed only when they do not have enough space to erupt or are coming in at an angle, becoming a threat to the adjacent tooth, or if they become a place for food loading, increasing the chances of infection. Apart from these, you might also experience symptoms that indicate wisdom tooth extraction.
Here are the steps for the tooth removal process:
The process typically begins with a consultation with an oral surgeon or dentist. X-rays are taken to evaluate the wisdom teeth' position, size, and angle. Our dental expert will discuss the need for extraction and explain the procedure to the patient.
The experts will provide instructions on how to prepare for wisdom tooth removal and explain the step-by-step procedure.
Wisdom tooth removal can be done using different types of anesthesia, including local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction and your preference and the dentist’s suggestion. Local anesthesia is typically used for simple extractions, numbing only the affected area.
Once you are properly anesthetized, the oral surgeon begins the extraction. If the wisdom tooth has fully erupted and is visible, it can be extracted relatively easily using dental instruments like forceps. If the wisdom tooth is impacted (partially or completely submerged in the jawbone), the oral surgeon may need to incision the gum tissue and remove some bone to access and extract the tooth. The tooth is carefully removed, and any remaining debris or tissue is cleaned from the extraction site.
If an incision is made, it is stitched closed using dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures. The oral surgeon may place gauze over the extraction site to control bleeding and promote clot formation.
The recovery period can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and the individual's healing ability. Typically, swelling and discomfort are expected for a few days, and patients may need to restrict their diet to soft foods during this time. Most people can return to normal activities within a few days to a week.
If used, a follow-up appointment may be scheduled to check the healing progress and remove any non-dissolvable sutures.
