Extraction of the Third Molar Can Improve Your Health and Happiness
Given the size of the third molars and the trend of human jaw reduction over evolutionary time, wisdom teeth are often affected. Even if your wisdom teeth aren't causing you any pain, it's still a good idea to get them checked out in case they don't erupt correctly.
When patients' wisdom teeth become impacted, it can have a serious impact on their dental health and overall well-being. Pain is a possible side effect of impacted teeth trying to break through the gums. This pressure can also cause harm to adjacent teeth.
Impaction of the third molar increases the risk of infection, cyst formation, tumour growth, and abscess formation. Those last two problems are especially worrisome because they can be caused by bacteria that gains entry to the bloodstream via the wisdom teeth and spreads infection throughout the body.
Even if you don't feel any pain from your wisdom teeth at the time, having them extracted by an oral surgeon can greatly reduce your risk of experiencing complications like these.
Impacted wisdom teeth can be extracted in a day-surgery operation by your oral surgeon. If you decide to use sedation during your procedure, your surgeon will give you specific pre-operative directions to ensure your safety and comfort.
Health check of your wisdom teeth
Even in the early teenage years, a patient can have a dentist examine their wisdom teeth to see if they are healthy. The greatest results are seen when patients have their third molars extracted before the age of 25. Generally speaking, teeth extracted from younger patients are easier to do because the roots are shorter. Even after an event, older teens and young adults have a better chance of bouncing back swiftly.
Make sure you comprehend all pre- and post-operative instructions given by your surgeon before undergoing preventive wisdom teeth removal. If you carefully adhere to the surgeon's instructions, you can lessen your risk of postoperative problems like dehydrated sockets.
