Clearing up Wisdom Teeth Removal Misconceptions
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure, but some misconceptions need clearing up. For example, some people may believe that their wisdom teeth will never come in. The truth is that they can come in without erupting above the gum or even jawbone surface, so you won’t even see the teeth. If they do, they may not end up in the right spot for proper chewing, so they will need removal.
Wisdom teeth can become impacted, meaning they don’t have enough space to grow properly and can cause pain, swelling, and infection. If your wisdom teeth are causing any of these problems, it’s best to have them removed.
Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Many people may also believe that they don’t need to have their wisdom teeth removed, which may be true in some cases. The most important thing to do is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Chandler or Dr. Erickson and the Summit View Biological Dentistry team so that we can perform a thorough evaluation on whether or not you need wisdom teeth removal. Wisdom teeth removal is a standard and safe procedure, but it’s always best to consult with your dentist to see if it’s the right solution.
Whether or not you’ll need your wisdom teeth removed depends on a few factors. The position of your wisdom teeth and how much space is available for them to grow in are two key considerations. Wisdom teeth impacted or partially erupted can be more challenging to clean and are more prone to decay and gum disease.
If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or infection around your wisdom teeth, it’s best to seek medical attention. If left untreated, these problems can worsen and lead to further health complications.
What is the Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure?
In general, wisdom teeth removal is a pretty straightforward procedure. Your dentist will numb the area around your wisdom teeth and then make small incisions in your gums to access them. We typically remove wisdom teeth in one piece, but sometimes they need to be removed in smaller pieces. The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour.
After removing your wisdom teeth, you may experience some swelling and discomfort. This swelling is normal and should improve within a few days. You’ll also need to avoid crunchy or sticky foods for a few weeks while your gums heal.
