Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Removal at Home
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth might not have enough space to fully emerge, becoming impacted (partially or completely trapped beneath the gum). Impacted teeth can cause pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.
Crowding: Emerging wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding, shifting adjacent teeth out of alignment. This can lead to bite problems or the need for orthodontic treatment.
Infection or Gum Disease: Wisdom teeth are challenging to clean due to their location, making them susceptible to infection or gum disease. This can result in pain, swelling, and bad breath.
Cavities and Decay: Wisdom teeth are harder to reach and clean, making them prone to cavities and decay. If cavities go untreated, they can lead to pain and infection.
Cysts or Tumors: In rare cases, wisdom teeth can develop cysts or tumors, potentially damaging the jawbone or surrounding teeth.
Wisdom Tooth Removal Process at Your Home by Avita Health 24×7
Consultation and Evaluation:
Our dentist will conduct a thorough examination, possibly including X-rays, to assess the position, alignment, and condition of your wisdom teeth. They will discuss the need for extraction and explain the procedure.
Preparation:
Before the procedure, dentist will review your medical history, any medications you’re taking, and discuss anesthesia options. You might receive local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction and your comfort level.
Anesthesia Administration:
Anesthesia ensures you’re comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Local anesthesia numbs the extraction site, while conscious sedation or general anesthesia induces a deeper state of relaxation or sleep.
Tooth Removal:
Using specialized instruments, the dental professional carefully loosens and removes the wisdom tooth. The tooth might need to be divided into smaller sections for easier removal if it’s impacted or has complex roots.
Cleaning and Suturing (if required):
Once the tooth is removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned to remove any debris or infection. If an incision is made, sutures (stitches) might be used to close the incision, promoting proper healing.
Gauze Placement:
Gauze is placed over the extraction site to control bleeding and facilitate clot formation. You’ll be instructed to bite down gently on the gauze.
Recovery Instructions:
Our dentist will provide detailed post-operative instructions, including guidelines for managing pain, swelling, and proper oral hygiene
Recovery Period:
Healing typically takes a few days to a week. Follow dentist’s recommendations for activities to avoid, foods to eat, and care for the extraction site.
Follow-Up Appointments:
Scheduled follow-up appointments allow dental professional to monitor your healing progress, remove sutures if necessary, and address any concerns.
Post-Extraction Care:
Pain Management: Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers as directed to manage discomfort.
Swelling Reduction: Apply ice packs to the outside of your face for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
Diet: Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing near the extraction site for a few days.
Oral Hygiene: Gently brush your teeth, avoiding the extraction site, and rinse your mouth with a prescribed or saltwater solution as instructed.
Rest: Allow yourself time to rest and recover, avoiding strenuous activities.
