Getting your wisdom teeth extracted can seem like an intense and frightening procedure, but with modern medicine and techniques it is easier than ever! Most wisdom teeth extractions only take a few minutes and can be done in one appointment leaving you with quick recovery times and very little pain. At Perfect Smiles Dentistry our team of expert dental professionals and advanced equipment are here to help you finally get rid of those troublesome teeth and get you back to enjoying life quickly!
Wisdom teeth will start to grow around the age of 17 and at that point, it would be a good idea to get them extracted as soon as you can to avoid damaging the surrounding teeth. The intrusion of the new molars can impact the shape of your smile because our mouths have limited space as it is and cannot always accommodate the extra tooth. Wisdom teeth have free reign in regards to how they are likely to grow in. They may grow in at an angle and press up against the surrounding tooth which will cause misalignment.
The number of wisdom teeth that grow varies between each individual, some have one, others have four, and some don’t have any. You may experience some pain and discomfort when your wisdom teeth start to grow in. Pain is normal seeing as the teeth are growing in under your jawbone and gums. The longer your wisdom teeth stay in your mouth, the longer and more ingrained the root will be in your gums making the extraction more difficult. The sooner you get them taken out, the easier the surgery will be.
Wisdom teeth removal surgery should not take longer than an hour. At Perfect Smiles, we offer a variety of different sedation methods for removal surgery depending on your health and preference. We will try to make the process as painless as possible and ensure you stay comfortable during the procedure. Though the service may be quite simple for you, you will need to arrange time off of work or school as well as a drive to get you home safely because of the sedatives. Your face will be swollen for a few days after the procedure and you may feel some discomfort but after you are healed, you will be back to your regular routine eating whatever your heart desires.
