The pain inflicted by crowding or ill-positioned wisdom teeth can be very troublesome. Dentists recommend getting wisdom tooth removal, especially when they do not grow like regular teeth and impact the teeth around them. At times, wisdom teeth grow sideways towards the surrounding teeth when they do not get enough room to grow. In such instances, the pain and discomfort caused can be severe. An X-ray of the mouth gives a clear picture of the teeth and helps the doctor perform extraction on the teeth. The Need for Removal of Wisdom Teeth Wisdom teeth grow at the back of gums and are the last ones to sprout. As they are the last ones to sprout, they might not have enough room to grow properly causing them to grow sideways. This might put pressure on the surrounding teeth causing severe pain and discomfort. Dentists at JK Dental clinics suggest that improper growth of the wisdom teeth can cause dental problems like tooth decay, plaque, and periodontal diseases. Therefore wisdom teeth extractions are performed as a solution to such issues. Procedure for Teeth Extraction
An X-ray is taken before the procedure to get a complete view of the mouth. Before the extraction begins, the patient is given local anesthesia. This helps prevent pain by numbing the area where extraction has to be performed. A slight tear is made in the gums which cover the wisdom tooth. Depending on the size, the tooth is extracted by breaking into smaller pieces to make the procedure easier. Once the extraction is complete, the tear in the gums is stitched back. Tooth Extraction Aftercare Once the wisdom tooth is removed, the dentist might recommend avoiding intake of certain food and drinks to avoid pain and infections. The patients are suggested to take soft food and take liquids with the help of a straw. Persistent pain or discomfort after the procedure may be a sign of dry socket or alveolar osteitis. This is caused due to the formation of a blood clot in the socket from where the tooth has been extracted leading to pain and infections. Symptoms of Dry Socket Dry socket usually occurs on the portion where lately teeth extraction has taken place. This socket shall not always appear as a dark blood clot, but it might also appear only like a whitish bone. The pain often starts after two days of extraction, however, with time, it can become worse affecting ear of the patient. While clot gets dislodged or dissolved in few days after the surgery; it is important to ensure that it gets treated within time to avoid multiple issues in the mouth.
