What Are Wisdom Teeth?

The wisdom teeth or third molars are the final set of teeth that develop. The four wisdom teeth are located in the corners of the mouth at the back, top, and bottom. They usually appear in your late teens or early twenties. Some people do not have any problems with wisdom teeth. However, others may experience complications if they are not given enough room to grow.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction is Necessary for Many Reasons

  • Impaction

    Wisdom tooth impaction is common. This means that the teeth cannot emerge fully through the gums due to their position. This can cause pain, swelling, and infection.

  • Overcrowding

    Your mouth may not have enough space to accommodate an additional set of molars, which can cause the other teeth to move or become misaligned.

  • Difficulty Cleaning

    Wisdom teeth can be difficult to reach and clean, leading to decay, gum disease, and other oral issues.

  • Cysts

    Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to cysts that damage bone and gum tissues.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure

Dr. Romano begins the process of wisdom tooth extraction with a comprehensive evaluation using X-rays. This allows us to determine the safest way to remove the wisdom teeth. We place a high priority on your comfort, and we offer several options for anesthesia tailored to your specific needs. The procedure is carried out efficiently and with care to minimize discomfort. After the extraction, we will provide you with comprehensive instructions on managing recovery at home through comfort and proper care. This will ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications.

Helpful Tips for Home Aftercare

Aftercare is essential to a comfortable and smooth recovery from wisdom tooth extraction. Here are some home remedies that can be used:

  • Rest

    Limit physical activity immediately after surgery to help reduce swelling and speed up the healing process. Rest with your head elevated above your heart. This will prevent excessive swelling and bleeding.

  • Ice

    Apply an ice pack to the side of the face where you had the extraction performed. It is recommended that you do this for 15 minutes, remove it for 15 minutes, and repeat as needed during the first 24-hour period to reduce swelling.

  • Oral Hygiene

    Keep the mouth clean to avoid infection. Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water at least three times per day. This is especially important after meals. For the first few weeks, avoid brushing the extraction site to allow it to heal.

  • Avoid Sucking

    Do not use straws, smoke, or suck on candies. These actions can cause the clot to dislodge, increase bleeding, and even cause dry socket.

  • Follow-up Visits

    Attend any follow-up appointments scheduled with Dr. Romano in order to ensure healing and to discuss any concerns you may have post-extraction.
