Impacted Wisdom Teeth

When wisdom teeth fail to fully emerge or grow in at an angle, they can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Our extraction procedures effectively remove impacted wisdom teeth, preventing further complications and promoting oral health.

Crowding

Wisdom teeth can exert pressure on surrounding teeth as they attempt to erupt, causing crowding and misalignment. By removing impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth, we can alleviate crowding and create space for proper alignment, reducing the risk of orthodontic issues.

Infection

Impacted wisdom teeth can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to infection and inflammation known as pericoronitis. Extraction removes the source of infection, preventing its spread and restoring oral health.

Cysts

Wisdom teeth can sometimes develop cysts or tumors, which can cause damage to surrounding teeth and tissues if left untreated. Extraction of affected wisdom teeth is often necessary to remove these abnormal growths and prevent further complications.

Damage to Adjacent Teeth

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can exert pressure on adjacent teeth, increasing the risk of damage such as decay, fractures, or root resorption. By removing problematic wisdom teeth, we can protect the integrity of surrounding teeth and preserve oral health.

Pain and Discomfort

Wisdom teeth can cause significant pain and discomfort when they become impacted or infected. Innovative techniques and technology ensure a comfortable and efficient extraction process, eliminating discomfort and promoting a speedy recovery.

The Benefits of Wisdom Tooth removal

Group 543.png (22) (1)

Wisdom teeth often cause discomfort, especially when they become impacted or infected. Extraction provides relief from pain and discomfort, allowing you to enjoy improved oral health and overall well-being.

By removing problematic wisdom teeth, you can prevent a range of dental issues such as overcrowding, misalignment, decay, and damage to adjacent teeth. This proactive approach helps maintain the integrity of your smile and reduces the need for future dental interventions.

Impacted wisdom teeth can trap food particles and bacteria, leading to infection and inflammation. Extraction removes the source of infection, preventing its spread and reducing the risk of complications such as abscesses and gum disease.

Wisdom teeth that do not properly erupt may grow at an angle, exerting pressure on nearby teeth and causing them to shift out of alignment. This can result in bite problems, difficulty chewing, and an increased risk of dental issues. By removing wisdom teeth that pose a threat to surrounding teeth, patients can protect the alignment and integrity of their existing dentition.

After wisdom teeth extraction, many patients experience improved comfort and function when eating, speaking, and smiling. By eliminating the discomfort caused by problematic wisdom teeth, you can enjoy a higher quality of life and greater confidence in your smile.

Jaw Stiffness and Swelling

Aftercare Instructions

 

To ensure a smooth healing process and avoid any discomfort, it's essential to follow these care instructions diligently.

Post-Operative Care

  • Consume soft foods during the initial days to ease chewing and prevent irritation.
  • Apply an ice pack to the outside of your jaw to reduce swelling. Use it intermittently for 20 minutes at a time.
  • Take prescribed pain medication as directed to manage any post-operative discomfort effectively.
  • Rinse mouth gently with warm salt water after meals to keep the extraction site clean and promote healing.
  • Refrain from using straws as the suction can dislodge blood clots and delay the healing process.

What to Avoid

  • Avoid hard and crunchy foods that may irritate the extraction site or cause discomfort.
  • Refrain from smoking or using tobacco products as they can increase the risk of complications.
  • Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages during the initial days of recovery
  • Refrain from touching the extraction site with your fingers or tongue to avoid introducing bacteria and causing infection.
  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments at Innova Dental to ensure proper healing and address any concerns promptly.
