If you or a member of your family are approaching the late teens and early 20s, consider an appointment to check on your wisdom teeth. For some, up to four of these new molars could erupt and lead to serious trouble for your smile’s health, function, and appearance. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about protecting smiles with wisdom tooth extraction.
The Arrival of Your Third Molars
These new teeth will erupt in the back of your mouth. For most people, there is simply no room for them, so their arrival could mean only a partial eruption is possible, which causes an impaction. They could also damage nearby teeth or even cause them to shift, creating dental misalignment. These complications can lead to negative changes to the appearance of your smile, but also harm the overall health and function of your bite too. While they can be removed after they erupt, it is far easier to do so before they even arrive, which helps safeguard your smile’s health and appearance.
Planning The Removal of Your Wisdom Teeth
To start the wisdom tooth removal process, we will take detailed digital images of your bite from multiple angles, gathering digital x-rays to assess the position of the teeth. We then plan removal to ensure we don’t encounter nerve tissues, sinus cavities, or blood vessels. Our team will also offer a local anesthesia and dental sedation, which helps ensure the comfort of your procedure, even if you have special needs or severe anxiety that make undergoing the procedure a difficult task. We want this to be a positive experience for you!
Your Recovery
Our team will gently remove the teeth by opening the gums above them and taking them out with a pair for forceps. We then suture the area closed, and will provide detailed aftercare instructions and prescriptions for medications to ensure the process is simple and quick. You may be able to return to your normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours. If you have any questions about the wisdom tooth extraction process, then contact our team today to learn more.
