Wisdom Teeth Removal Ahmedabad

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to develop and appear in your mouth. They come in between the ages of 17 and 25, a time of life that has been called the “Age of Wisdom.” Wisdom teeth may not need to be extracted if they grow in completely and are functional, painless, cavity-free, disease-free and in a hygienic environment with healthy gum tissue. They do, however, require regular, professional cleaning, annual check-ups and periodic X-rays to monitor for any changes.

When a tooth doesn’t fully grow in, it’s “impacted”– usually unable to break through the gums because there isn’t enough room. An impacted wisdom tooth can damage neighboring teeth or become infected. Because it’s in an area that’s hard to clean, it can also invite bacteria that lead to gum disease.

Oral bacteria can also travel through your bloodstream and lead to infections and illnesses that affect your heart, kidneys and other organs. In some cases, a cyst or tumor can form around the base of the impacted tooth, which can lead to more serious problems as it hollows out the jaw and damages surrounding nerves, teeth and other parts of your mouth and face.

Generally, wisdom teeth should be surgically removed when there are:

• Infections and/or periodontal (gum) disease.
• Cavities that can’t be restored.
• Cysts, tumors or other pathologies.
• Damage to neighboring teeth.

Oral Health: Extraction of teeth can help to maintain the overall health of your mouth and teeth by reducing the risk of dental decay and misaligned teeth.

Minimized Risk of Infection: When wisdom teeth remain impacted they create spaces that trap food and bacteria which lead to infections. The removal of these teeth significantly lowers the chances of developing these risks.

Aftercare & Healing Tips

• Maintain the extraction site clean – Light rinsing 24 hours later, do not disturb the clot.
• Eat a soft diet: in the beginning, do not eat hard or crunchy, hot, or spicy food.
• Apply ice packs to reduce the swelling; rest and do not follow strenuous activity for a few days.
• Take pain medicine and antibiotics as advised.
• Avoid smoking, using a straw, etc., as they can increase the risk of dry socket.
• Come to follow-ups to monitor the healing process and remove stitches (where necessary).
