Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal: A Common Procedure

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the back of your mouth. Sometimes, these teeth don’t have enough room to grow properly, leading to various dental issues. At My Neighbourhood Dentist in Marathahalli, we offer safe and efficient wisdom teeth removal procedures.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

Wisdom teeth often cause problems due to their position and limited space in the jaw. Common issues include:

  • Impaction: The tooth may be partially or fully trapped beneath the gum tissue or bone.
  • Infection: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can harbor bacteria, leading to infections.
  • Crowding: Wisdom teeth can cause crowding of other teeth, leading to misalignment and bite problems.
  • Cysts and Tumors: In rare cases, wisdom teeth can be associated with the development of cysts or tumors.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

The wisdom teeth removal process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth. In some cases, sedation dentistry may be used to help patients relax during the procedure.
  2. Tooth Removal: The dentist will carefully remove the tooth or teeth, often using specialized tools.
  3. Cleaning the Socket: The socket is cleaned to remove any debris or tissue.
  4. Stitches (if necessary): In some cases, stitches may be used to close the wound.

Aftercare Instructions:

  • Rest: Rest for the first few days after the procedure.
  • Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and pain.
  • Soft Foods: Eat soft foods to avoid irritating the extraction sites.
  • Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth gently, avoiding the extraction sites.
  • Medication: Take any prescribed pain medication as directed.
  • Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption to promote healing.
