Wisdom Teeth Removal Stoney Creek
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Removal to Avoid Complications
Wisdom teeth usually grow during late adolescence or early adulthood. Most adults have two wisdom teeth on each side, but it’s possible to have fewer, more or none at all. If wisdom teeth are healthy, correctly positioned and are not causing any complications, there is no reason to have them removed. However, in many cases, the mouth is not large enough to accommodate these molars and they can cause problems.
Orchard Park Dental is proud to provide wisdom tooth extraction services for your entire family. Our Stoney Creek dental office is equipped to handle all aspects of improving our patients’ oral health including wisdom tooth extractions and aftercare. Our dentists go over every aspect of the extraction process with every patient to ensure they receive the service and care they need to achieve their oral health goals.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted wisdom teeth are often the main reason for undergoing wisdom teeth removal procedures. Without enough space, these teeth can grow incorrectly and push against your other molars, which can lead to issues with adjacent teeth, the nerves and jawbone for our patients.
Wisdom teeth that break the surface but don’t erupt fully can cause infected gum tissue and pain, swelling, or a bad taste in the mouth. Sometimes wisdom teeth grow in positions that make them very difficult to clean, increasing your risk of decay and gum disease.
Throughout your teens and twenties, our dentists will be monitoring the situation with your wisdom teeth. It is easier to remove these teeth in the late teens or early 20s before the roots have solidified. Recovery is also usually faster in younger patients. Our friendly team of office staff works with your dentist to ensure you receive comfortable dental care while undergoing any procedure in our dental office.
We will remove wisdom teeth with the aid of a local anaesthetic, but first, we’ll assess your situation by taking x-rays and then performing the procedure in our dental office during your appointment.
Typically, all of your wisdom teeth are removed at the same time. This reduces the need for repeat surgery. Wisdom teeth tend to be large, so you may need stitches after they’re removed. The stitches usually dissolve on their own after a few weeks. Since you may feel a bit groggy from the local anesthesia, you’ll want to make sure you have someone to drive you home.
Post-Procedure Recovery
After the procedure, we will give you directions on care and how to manage any pain. You need to be diligent about oral care to avoid the development of infections and further issues, like a blood clot or early signs of a dry socket that may require further dental care.
Recovery time varies, according to the severity of the impaction and how many teeth were removed. In the first 24 hours after removal, it’s best to avoid applying pressure to the wound and if you need to rinse your mouth, do so gently. Within 24 hours, you should be able to brush your teeth and gargle.
The most common cause of pain after having wisdom teeth removed is from a dry socket, which usually occurs three to four days later. Some people experience a blood clot that forms in the socket protecting bone and exposed nerve endings. If you have intense pain that you believe is being caused by a dry socket, or complications with a blood clot or gum disease don’t hesitate to contact our team of dental professionals to receive emergency dental services.
Recovering from wisdom tooth removal is a healing process that includes proper care to avoid infection or other issues. Each dentist in our practice provides information to our patients on how to make the healing process as simple as possible. The majority of those who receive wisdom tooth removal treatments heal without complication.
