Why you may need wisdom teeth removed ?
Wisdom tooth aren’t always a problem. However, they can become problematic if impacted in the gum. When wisdom teeth are fully or partially covered by the bone and/or gum, this can cause a lot of pain. In this instance, you made need to seek dental treatment from a professional dentist or maxillofacial surgeon.
Impacted wisdom teeth extraction
An impacted tooth can bring a whole range of different problems, including gum inflammation, abscesses, cysts, dental cavities, tooth movements, and infections.
An impacted tooth can cause intense pain, jaw problems, bad breath, swollen gums, and difficulties opening the mouth and chewing, which in turn can prevent the individual from eating properly. It is very important to book an appointment with a dentist for a check-up if you experience any of these issues.
How are wisdom teeth removed ?
Before performing a tooth extraction, the dentist will first complete a dental examination. They will check if there are any cavities or ways for bacteria to get into your teeth and gums. This procedure is quick and usually painless. If the dentist finds that the tooth is not positioned correctly or that there is a chance that your wisdom tooth or surrounding teeth will become infected, they may recommend wisdom tooth extraction.
The dentist may extract the appropriate tooth there and then or refer the patient to a maxillofacial surgery specialist.
Prior to any intervention, an evaluation of the dental and bone structure must be done using panoramic radiographs and/or 3D scans. These x-rays provide a good overview of all the teeth as well as the important surrounding structures. They help to limit the likelihood of complications during surgery.
This is the tooth extraction process:
- Local anesthesia applied to the tooth extraction area
- Incision made in the gum tissue to expose the bone and tooth
- Removal of the bone blocking access to the wisdom tooth’s root
- Extraction of the tooth if needed (it may be necessary to divide the tooth to facilitate its extraction)
- Once completed, the dental surgeon cleans the wound and stitches the area to aid healing
Maintenance and postoperative follow-up after wisdom tooth removal
The level of discomfort after a tooth extraction usually varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Any surgery, even a minor one, can cause bleeding, pain, inflammation, discomfort and even infection that may need to be treated with an antibiotic. This is normal and should not be cause for alarm.
Our team will explain the steps to take following the operation and the instructions to follow to ensure that your recovery goes as smoothly as possible. Throughout your recovery process, the dentists at Clinique Dentaire 1935 are always open to your questions. In addition, our blog section may help answer some of your questions.
Following the removal of a wisdom tooth, your Montreal dentist will provide you with the necessary medication to help ease the pain. It is important to take a few days of rest to help your gums and jawbone heal properly.
You should also watch your diet. There are certain foods that we recommend avoiding during the healing process. Your dentist will give you advice and guidance on how to manage pain and bleeding. We advise against smoking during the healing period to avoid possible complications.
