Expert Wisdom Teeth Removal for Comfort
Wisdom teeth, the last molars to emerge, typically appear between ages 17 and 25, often creating challenges for many individuals. We can visually examine your wisdom teeth (if they have erupted) or use X-ray imaging to assess if they need to be removed.
Extracting wisdom teeth is considered a category of oral surgery; your dentist or an oral surgeon can perform this procedure. Given that multiple wisdom teeth may need extraction simultaneously, the process often requires a general anesthetic to ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.

Post-wisdom Teeth Removal Care Instructions
After undergoing wisdom teeth removal, proper aftercare is crucial to ensure a smooth recovery and minimize any potential complications. Here are some essential guidelines and tips to follow during the post-operative period:
Post-Operative Care Instructions:
Gauze Placement: Gently bite down on the provided gauze pads after the surgery to control bleeding and help form clots.
Oral Hygiene: Maintain oral hygiene by carefully brushing your teeth, avoid the surgical sites for the first 24 hours. Following meals, rinse your mouth with a mild saline solution to keep the area clean.
Swelling and Ice Packs: During the first 24 to 48 hours to reduce swelling and discomfort, apply ice packs to the affected areas for 20 minutes on, followed by 20 minutes off.
Rest and Elevation: Get plenty of rest and keep your head elevated with pillows during sleep to reduce swelling.
Diet and Nutrition:
Soft Foods: Stick to a diet of soft foods during the initial recovery days, including items like soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and eggs.
Avoid Hard Foods: Avoid any hard, crunchy, or spicy foods as this could irritate the surgical sites.
Drinking: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, but avoid using straws. Sucking a straw can dislodge blood clots and hinder the healing process.
Medications: Take prescribed pain medications and antibiotics as directed by your dentist to manage pain and prevent infection.
By following these aftercare instructions, you can promote healing and ensure a successful recovery after wisdom teeth removal. Remember to attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your dentist to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise.
