Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Bradenton, FL
Wisdom teeth can often become problematic, leading to pain, infection, and other dental issues if left untreated. However, removing them
doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. At Smyl Manatee, we aim to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in your
late teens to early twenties. While some people have wisdom teeth
that align well and are easy to care for, many face issues as these
teeth can still cause problems later in life. This is why ongoing
monitoring is crucial.
Dentists often recommend preventive removal for young adults, as
the procedure can be easier before complications arise. Consulting
with your dentist will help determine the best approach for your
specific situation.
Procedure Overview
The process of wisdom teeth removal is straightforward and painless. Depending on your situation, your dentist or an oral surgeon may perform the procedure. For more complicated cases, such as teeth stuck under the gums, an oral surgeon’s expertise may be required.
You will receive anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort. Options include:
Local Anesthesia:
Numbs the area, allowing you to feel pressure but no pain.
Sedation:
Lowers your level of consciousness,
leaving you with little memory of
the procedure.
General Anesthesia:
Puts you completely unconscious,
so you remember nothing
afterward.
During the procedure, you won’t feel any pain, and removing the wisdom teeth should resolve any issues they caused.
Post-Extraction Care
Following your dentist or oral surgeon’s advice after the extraction is
crucial for a smooth recovery. Here are some general tips to follow:
- Avoid alcohol and smoking.
- Rinse your mouth gently.
- Avoid using straws.
- Don’t blow your nose.
- Stick to soft foods like yogurt, broth, and applesauce, avoiding hard, crunchy, or sticky foods.
Adhering to these guidelines and any other instructions from your
dentist will help ensure a quick and complication-free recovery.
