Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal treatment in Broadway

Wisdom teeth, the final set of molars that typically emerge between 18 to 25 years, often encounter issues due to limited space, ultimately causing impaction and failure to erupt properly. Wisdom tooth removal, a common dental procedure addresses various problems such as pain, infection, and overcrowding caused by the growth of third molars. A dentist or oral surgeon often recommends removing wisdom teeth to safeguard oral health and prevent adverse effects on adjacent teeth. 

The tooth removal procedure involves administering anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort, followed by surgical removal of the affected wisdom teeth. The incisions are manipulated following tooth removal to promote wound healing. Removal of the third molar prevents infection and helps maintain the integrity of remaining teeth.

FAQ's

You may undergo Wisdom Teeth Removal if you :

  • Have impacted wisdom teeth. ("Impacted" refers to being totally or partially restricted in your jawbone or gums)

  • Have a wisdom tooth that erupts in an uneven manner

  • Have pain in the back of your mouth

  • Food particles and debris get trapped near your wisdom teeth

  • Develop a gum disease, especially in the area around your molars

  • Possess cavities (tooth decay) in a partially emerged wisdom tooth

  • Form a cyst, or sac filled with fluid, around one or more wisdom teeth

Dentists usually recommend wisdom tooth extraction as a preventive measure. Because of this, even if you don't experience any symptoms, your dentist might advise having your wisdom teeth extracted. By doing this you may lower your chance of developing infections and dental decay in the future.
 

You can expect the following things before a Wisdom Tooth Removal:

  • During your consultation, an oral surgeon will inspect your wisdom teeth and take dental X-rays to determine their exact placement. Inform your doctor about any vitamins, minerals, or drugs you may be taking.

  • During this visit, your surgeon will also go over your options for anaesthesia with you. They might suggest local anaesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), IV (intravenous or through your vein) sedation, or general anaesthesia, according to your needs and choices.

  • Your surgeon will provide you with comprehensive information on how to get ready for your appointment if you decide to have general anaesthesia or IV sedation. 

  • Your oral surgeon or dentist will provide local anaesthetic in the area where the wisdom tooth is being extracted. Your dentist or surgeon may administer topical anaesthesia to your gums before the injection to enhance comfort. During the tooth extraction, you may experience some movement and pressure, but no pain should be felt.

  • You receive medication via an IV line in your arm from your dentist or oral surgeon to help you feel relaxed, less nervous, and sleepy. You won't recall much about the surgery, and you won't experience any pain. Once you're calm and drowsy, you'll also receive medication to numb your gums.

  • If a procedure is considered complex, you may be given general anaesthesia. You may breathe anaesthesia through your nose, have an IV line in your arm, or both. Once sedated, the surgical team will place a breathing tube connected to a ventilator. This machine will breathe for you. While your wisdom teeth are being surgically removed, an anesthesiologist, or a certified registered nurse anaesthetist, watches your breathing, temperature, fluids, and blood pressure. You'll feel no pain and won't remember the procedure. Medicine is also given to help with pain after the surgery.

Wisdom Tooth Removal often takes no more than an hour. It could take longer in complex circumstances.
 

  • Following the treatment, you are transferred to a recovery room if you are under general or sedation anaesthesia. You will probably be made to sit on the normal dental chair if you are under local anaesthesia.

  • The day following the extraction of wisdom teeth, some blood may seep out. To avoid removing the blood clot from the socket, try not to spit too much. As advised by your oral surgeon or dentist, replace the gauze covering the surgery site.

  • You will be asked to have painkillers and antibiotics for the initial days to reduce pain and the chances of infection, respectively. If any bone was removed during the treatment, prescription pain medication can be helpful. Applying an ice pack to your jaw also helps reduce pain.

  • As instructed by your surgeon or dentist, apply an ice pack. Your cheeks will normally stop swelling in two to three days. It can take a few more days for bruises to heal.

  • You can expect to spend the remainder of the day relaxing after your procedure. On the following day, resume your regular activities. But avoid engaging in heavy activities for a week that could force the blood clot out of its socket.

  • Make sure you stay hydrated following the procedure. During the first 24 hours, avoid consuming hot, carbonated, caffeinated, or alcoholic beverages. Drinking through a straw can trigger the blood clot to come out of its socket, so avoid doing so for at least a week.

  • For the first twenty-four hours, consume only soft meals. Avoid eating tough, chewy, hot, or spicy food that could aggravate the wound or get stuck in the socket.

  • In a few weeks, the stitches on your body can dissolve on their own or you can schedule an appointment to get your sutures removed if they are necessary.
