Wisdom Teeth Removal

Overview

Adults can have up to 32 teeth. Right in the rear, the wisdom teeth are the last to erupt. One of the most frequent surgical operations is the removal of wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. This dental operation removes a tooth from the third set of molars, sometimes known as your “wisdom teeth.” Usually, the procedure is utilised when a tooth gets impacted. They often come through into a usable position if there is enough space, posing no more significant issues than any other tooth. There may occasionally be a little soreness when they erupt, but this is usually very temporary and will go away once the tooth is firmly positioned.

For whom is it for?

The gum may become uneasy and maybe inflamed if part of the wisdom teeth has broken through the gum and part of it is still hidden. Under the gum edge, food particles and germs can gather, making it challenging to adequately clean the region. If your wisdom teeth are giving you a lot of pain, you should schedule an appointment with MahavirDentalCare. Your teeth will be examined, and we’ll let you know whether they need to be removed.

How is the procedure performed?

Your wisdom teeth will be removed by our dentist, or in unusual circumstances, we may suggest that you seek hospital care from a specialized surgeon. You will often receive an explanation of the process prior to the operation, and you could be required to sign a consent form. You should expect instructions from our surgeon on how to get ready for the procedure and recuperate afterwards.

Additionally, they might talk about the sort of anaesthetic they want to use and why. Ask if they won’t tell you. For the procedure, dress comfortably in loose clothing. Wear a top with short sleeves or sleeves you can quickly roll up if you’re receiving intravenous (IV) anaesthetic.

Typically, a local anaesthetic injection will be administered to you to numb the region around the tooth. Just before the tooth is pulled, you may experience some pressure as your dentist or oral surgeon has to enlarge the tooth socket by rotating the tooth back and forth.

Sometimes it’s essential to make a little cut in the gum, and the tooth might need to be broken up into smaller pieces before being extracted. It’s possible for bone to completely or partially enclose an impacted wisdom tooth. In such circumstances, the overlying bone can be removed by drilling through with a high-speed tool. A wisdom tooth extraction can take a few minutes to twenty minutes, or much longer.
