Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need Removal?

Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. However, the ones that cause trouble are better extracted than retained. Here is why:

  • When the wisdom tooth or the third molar does not have enough space to erupt, it pushes against the neighboring teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth cause pain not only at the back of your jaw but also in your other molars.
  • The gum around the erupting wisdom tooth becomes red and swollen, making eating and chewing very difficult.
  • A troublesome wisdom tooth is also an area of inflammation and infection, and can cause food to stay trapped and risk cavities and gum disease.
  • An infected wisdom tooth is also the source of bad breath and bad taste in the mouth.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction

  • Stiffness in the jaws.
  • Pain in the back of the jaw and the other molars.
  • Redness and swelling of the gums around the back molars.
  • Difficulty in opening the mouth, properly chewing, biting, brushing, and speaking.

  • Ear pain, neck aches, and headaches can also happen.

The Procedure Explained

Knowing what to expect in case of a wisdom tooth extraction Guelph can ease a lot of dental anxiety. Wisdom teeth extraction begins with:

  • We start with an in-clinic consultation and digital X-rays to see the exact 3D position of the wisdom tooth.
  • A thorough treatment plan based on this evaluation. It can be a simple extraction or a surgical wisdom tooth extraction.
  • Before the procedure, we always numb the gums and that part of the jaw with local anesthesia. In case you are more anxious, we also offer conscious sedation options.
  • After the procedure, we will stitch the gums so that they do not attract any food particles during healing.
  • You go home with post-procedure instructions and care from our expert dental team.

Aftercare and Recovery Tips

Aftercare for wisdom teeth removal is critical. As the wisdom teeth are located right at the back of your jaw, it is difficult to clean them. But we at Magnolia Dental Guelph teach you the best methods for faster recovery:

This involves cold and soft food for the first few days, cold compresses in the first 24 hours, resting well, and keeping the area clean by careful brushing and warm salt water rinses only after the first 24 hours.

Most patients feel almost completely normal and go back to work within a day after a wisdom tooth removal.
