Expert Care for Wisdom Teeth Issues

Do You Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed?

The following are some typical signs of unhealthy wisdom teeth:
  • Repeated discomfort and pain near the teeth
  • Gums are swollen or bleeding
  • Swelling around the jaw bone.
Root canal treatment is not an option if they are stuck in the jaw. The only choice is therefore wisdom teeth extraction.

How Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth Identified?

By inspecting your teeth and taking a quick X-ray of your mouth, your Richmond dentist can determine whether your wisdom teeth are impacted. An X-ray can reveal whether your teeth are impacted as well as any broken bones or teeth. If you have impacted teeth, you and your dentist will talk over the advantages and disadvantages of surgery.

What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?

Your tooth and gums will be completely numbed thanks to the local anesthetic we utilize. Anesthesia gels and sprays are applied so you won't feel the injection's prick. During extraction, you won't experience pain, but you will feel pressure.

To assure your comfort and care, we conduct an X-ray of the area to decide the best way of tooth extraction. We will offer you instructions on what to do at home when your extraction is finished. The post-extraction instructions must be followed.

Recovering After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Within a few days of surgery, the majority of patients may resume their regular routines. Your mouth can take up to six weeks to fully recover. You'll need to eat soft foods because you probably won't be able to open your mouth normally for about a week.

You can suffer some discomfort, bleeding, and swelling following surgery. Your dentist will provide you with detailed advice on how to manage discomfort, including how to use cold compresses and use painkillers.

How Long Does Wisdom Tooth Extraction Take?

Timing is dependent on the tooth's angulation and position. It also depends on how much of the tooth has been lost. Your wisdom teeth removal takes 30 to 45 minutes. With local anesthetic, it is carried out. It indicates that the tooth, surrounding gums, and jaw are all only temporarily sedated.

Replacement of Extracted teeth

Dental implants or bridges can be used to replace removed teeth. You should go to Inspire Smiles Richmond Dentist if you are worried about having your wisdom teeth removed. You'll have a nice time, we guarantee it.
