Wisdom Teeth
Frequently Asked Questions
What are wisdom teeth?
usually emerging between the ages of 16 and 23 – hence the popular term wisdom teeth. But not everyone has wisdom teeth; some people are born without any or with fewer than four.
Most of us have enough room in our mouths for wisdom teeth to erupt normally, in line with our other teeth. In such cases, wisdom teeth function the same as our other molars and will not require any treatment.
When do we know if we need wisdom teeth removal ?
Tender or swollen gums
Red or bleeding gums
White fluid or oozing around teeth
Bad breath
Bad taste in your mouth
Jaw pain
Jaw swelling
Stiff jaw
difficulty breathing, opening your mouth or speaking
What are the risks associated with the teeth removal?
One uncommon complication is known as dry socket .Dry socket typically occurs three or four days after the extraction. Pain (ranging from dull, to moderate to severe) and a foul mouth odor will accompany a dry socket. If you think you have developed dry socket you should contact the practice immediately for treatment.
Another rare complication involves the lower jaw nerves being traumatized by the removal of the lower wisdom teeth. This can cause an unusual sensation in the lips, tongue, or gum near the treated area. Generally, this complication is temporary, but in some cases, it can be longer lasting.
The most common complications are pain, swelling, Trismus, bad breath, and infection. But at 32 pearls we offer free post-operative care to look after any complications.
