- Wisdom tooth pain can keep you from sleeping, eating and going about your daily life. You might be asking yourself, “Do I really need to have my wisdom teeth removed?” or “Will the procedure hurt?”
- We at Sparsh Dental Care think it’s important to answer your questions clearly and calmly. Removing a wisdom tooth is a small surgery in which we carefully get to the tooth, take it out safely and help your gums heal properly.
Why should you get rid of a wisdom tooth that is causing problems?
- If your wisdom tooth is stuck or infected, getting it out now can stop serious problems from happening later. It helps with pain, swelling and stiffness in the jaw. It keeps nearby teeth safe and lowers the risk of getting gum disease.
- You feel better emotionally. You don’t have to worry about sudden pain or getting sick again. In practice, you stay away from emergency visits and long-term problems.
What happens when you take out a wisdom tooth?
- We start by numbing the area with local anaesthesia. If you’re feeling anxious, we can give you nitrous oxide or IV sedation to help you relax. After that, we make a small cut to get to the tooth. If necessary, we take out a small piece of bone. Sometimes, the tooth is broken into smaller pieces so that it can be taken out more gently. After that, we clean the area, put in stitches if needed and put on gauze to stop the bleeding.
- It’s normal to have some swelling and pain for a few days after the procedure. We tell you what soft foods to eat, how to take care of your mouth and how to take your medicine so that your healing goes smoothly and safely.
