The Importance of Timely Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth, and they often appear during late adolescence or early adulthood.

While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, for others, these teeth can cause various problems that require removal. At Princess Dental, we understand the importance of early intervention and removal when necessary.

Whether you’re experiencing discomfort or want to take a proactive approach to maintain your oral health, our team is here to guide you through every step. If you’re experiencing discomfort or think your wisdom teeth might be causing issues, don’t wait. Schedule a consultation with us today.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Needed?

Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended when these issues arise:

  • Impaction: When there’s not enough space for the teeth to emerge properly, causing pain, swelling, or infection.
  • Misalignment: Teeth growing at an angle can push against others, affecting your bite.
  • Cavities or gum disease: Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth can increase the risk of cavities and gum infections.
  • Crowding: Wisdom teeth may crowd surrounding teeth, potentially impacting alignment.

Signs That Wisdom Teeth Removal May Be Required

Some common signs that you may need your wisdom teeth removed include:

  • Discomfort in the back of the mouth or jaw
  • Swelling around the gums or jaw
  • Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in your mouth
  • Difficulty opening your mouth or swallowing
  • Gum infection or irritation around the area where the teeth are emerging

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with our team to determine if wisdom teeth removal is necessary.

How to Prepare for the Procedure

Before your wisdom teeth removal, we’ll schedule a consultation to assess the health and position of your wisdom teeth. Here’s how you can prepare for the procedure:

  • Arrive early to complete any necessary paperwork and relax before the surgery.
  • Discuss sedation options with your dentist. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to keep you comfortable.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure if you have sedation, as you may feel drowsy.

How the Procedure Is Performed

Wisdom teeth removal is typically done as an outpatient procedure. Depending on your sedation choice, you’ll either be awake or sedated during the surgery. Your dentist will:

  • Make an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth.
  • Remove the tooth or break it into smaller pieces for easier extraction.
  • Close the incision with stitches (if needed) and ensure the area is clean.

The entire process typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Aftercare Instructions

After your wisdom teeth are removed, it’s essential to follow aftercare instructions for proper healing. The aftercare process involves:

  • Resting: Take it easy for the first few days to allow your body to heal.
  • Using cold compresses: Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and pain.
  • Following medication instructions: Take prescribed pain medication and antibiotics as directed.
  • Avoiding certain activities: Do not use straws, smoke, or vape, as these can disrupt clot formation and cause dry socket.
  • Keeping the area clean: After 24 hours, gently rinse with salt water to keep the area clean, but avoid brushing the extraction site directly.
