Wisdom Teeth Removal

 

When do you remove your wisdom teeth & signs to know if you need the procedure?

Common symptoms are suffering from pain and swelling around gums on the back area of your jaw (molar areas). Your dentist or dentist will then examine you with relevant x-rays and clinical assessment. The clinical diagnosis will identify problematic and prone wisdom teeth. A management plan will be discussed with you identifying wisdom teeth to be removed. The Texas City Dental in Texas City is conveniently located near La Marque, Galveston, and the Hitchcock area is conveniently located near the HEB and ROSS market complex.  is the  best option available and affordable dentist near you.

Wisdom teeth can cause problems for some individuals and might need to be removed. If your wisdom teeth need to be taken out, you will require an appointment with your dentist to discuss your treatment.

What to expect during a wisdom teeth removal procedure

The procedure for removing wisdom teeth depends on how deeply impacted the teeth are. Most wisdom teeth can be extracted just like any other molar. After the anesthetic has taken effect, your dentist will widen the tooth’s socket (this the area where the tooth sits in) using special forceps or a tool known as an elevator. They will then move the tooth from side-to-side until it is loose enough to be removed entirely.

 Nevertheless, if the tooth is more difficult to remove, your dentist will have to cut through your gums and might have to remove a small part of your jawbone so that they can reach your tooth. They will then remove the wisdom teeth and close the wounds with stitches if required. Most wisdom teeth removal surgery procedures usually take a few minutes, but the more difficult cases may take around twenty minutes.

What to expect after the procedure?

After the removal of the wisdom tooth, there is normally some slight discomfort. This varies from patient to patient, but most people will experience some discomfort and swelling for several days. Since each situation is different, your dentist will advise you on the treatment that is most suitable for you.

You will be advised when you are supposed to return so that the stitches can be inspected or/and removed. Even if the stitches come out on their own, this enables the dentist to inspect the site of the surgery and ensure that it has healed correctly.
