Say Goodbye to Wisdom Teeth Pain: All You Need to Know About the Removal Process

The thought of having your wisdom teeth removed can be daunting, but the truth is that the process is relatively simple and the pain can be managed effectively. Here's all you need to know about wisdom teeth removal:

1. Why are wisdom teeth removed? Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are often removed because they can cause pain, infection, and other dental issues. They may also be removed if they are impacted or if there isn't enough room in your mouth for them to grow in properly.
2. The removal process: The removal process typically involves a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. Sedation options may also be available to help you relax during the procedure. Your dentist or oral surgeon will then remove the tooth and stitch up the area if necessary.
3. Recovery: You may experience some pain and swelling after the procedure, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs. It's important to follow your dentist's post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
4. Aftercare: It's important to avoid smoking, drinking through a straw, and eating hard or crunchy foods for a few days after the procedure to avoid dislodging the blood clot that forms in the socket. You should also brush and floss gently around the area to keep it clean.
