Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood, usually between ages 17 and 25.
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, crowding other teeth, or leading to infection. Even if they are not currently causing issues, dentists often recommend extraction to prevent future complications.
Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth may include pain, swelling, or infection in the gums, difficulty opening your mouth, or a bad taste in your mouth. Dental X-rays can also determine if your wisdom teeth are impacted.
The procedure typically involves administering local anesthesia or sedation, then the dentist or oral surgeon will remove the wisdom teeth. It usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
After the procedure, you may experience swelling, discomfort, or bleeding for a few days. It’s important to follow your dentist’s post-operative care instructions, which may include pain management, diet recommendations, and rest.
Most patients recover within a few days, but complete healing of the extraction site can take several weeks. Follow-up appointments may be necessary to ensure proper healing.
As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. However, these complications are rare, and your dentist will discuss the risks with you beforehand.
You should stick to soft foods and avoid hard, crunchy, or hot foods for the first few days. Stay hydrated and follow your dentist’s recommendations for diet during your recovery.
The cost varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the extraction and whether sedation is used. It’s best to consult with your dentist for an accurate estimate and discuss insurance coverage options.
