Wisdom tooth extraction procedure at Home Dental
Wisdom teeth, which are also known as the third molars, are located in the last position of the jaw and are also the last teeth to erupt. Misaligned ott impacted wisdom teeth cause pain and many dangerous complications and need to be extracted as soon as possible. So is wisdom tooth extraction also painful? How to get wisdom teeth extracted without too much pain? Wisdom tooth extraction is a basic dental surgery, with the aim of removing one or more wisdom teeth. A wisdom tooth needs to be removed when they have problems that are directly affecting oral health.
The general wisdom tooth extraction procedure
Clinical examination and preparation for minor surgery
Before deciding to remove wisdom teeth, dentists will often perform a clinical examination and give the patient advice on preparation steps. The dentist will need to carefully examine the patient’s dental X-ray film to be able to clearly see the growth of the wisdom teeth that need to be removed, thereby devising a treatment plan.
Patients also need to declare their health status and allergy problems to the dentist so that the dentist can prepare for possible situations during the wisdom tooth extraction, or base on that to give appropriate supportive prescriptions that are suitable for patients to use immediately after tooth extraction.
During wisdom tooth extraction
Usually, the wisdom tooth extraction process will take an average of 25-30 minutes. Tooth extraction is painless because you will be under the influence of the anesthetic. Depending on your physical condition and current health characteristics, your dentist will recommend the use of anesthetic agents.
After the patients rinse their mouth with a specialized mouthwash, the dentist will disinfect the wisdom tooth extraction area. An anesthetic will then be applied to the extraction site. As soon as the anesthetic takes effect (about 5 minutes after the injection), the dentist will remove the tooth by separating the gums and ligaments, opening a large enough space to use pliers to pull out the tooth.
The dentist will sew up the wound so that your gums can heal quickly. The stitches dissolve on their own after a few days if your doctor uses a self-dissolving thread, so you will not need to come back. But if you use regular floss, you need to return to the clinic after about 2 weeks to remove the sutures. Medical gauze can be used to stop bleeding after tooth extraction.
After wisdom tooth extraction
You will feel some discomfort after wisdom tooth extraction. Swelling and bleeding are normal symptoms and should go away after a short while.
Your doctor will advise you on how to treat the pain, which may be with prescription pain relievers or supportive medications. Once you feel more comfortable, you will be able to go home.
Be aware that it will still be relatively uncomfortable after a tooth extraction. Get someone to drive you home and avoid driving yourself in such a condition. For the rest of the day, you’ll need to get it done easily. You will likely spend the rest of the day sleeping or resting on the bed or couch.
- First 24 hours: Blood clots will form.
- 2 to 3 days: Effects such as swelling of the mouth will subside
- 7 days: You can return to see the dentist to have the sutures removed.
- 7 to 10 days: The feeling of numbness and soreness will go away.
- 2 weeks: The swelling and pain will be greatly reduced.
Recovery time will be different for everyone. If the blood clot is dislodged from the wound, or the wound becomes infected, recovery may take longer.
