Wisdom Tooth Extraction and dental health

by Ted Stark Cosultant

Wisdom teeth make the third and final set of molars, which generally erupt out in early twenties. They can be valuable asset in the mouth if they grow in proper shape and position, and aligned accurately, but they can be a source of great discomfort if they are misaligned or develop infection during the process. Therefore, its extraction become essential and is recommended by the dentists.

As per the dentists of Wisdom Tooth Extraction Forest Hills, the final set of molars are expected to grow in aesthetically right way, but the teeth may position themselves toward or away from the adjacent molars, or may even be angled inward or outward. This misalignment can damage adjacent teeth, jaw bone and nerves.

They are enclosed within the soft tissues or jawbone, and erupt out partially through the gums providing an easy access to several kinds of problems. The partial eruption provides an easy path to the bacteria, which when enter the mouth can cause serious infection.  As a consequence, the patient feels serious discomfort like pain, stiffness in jaw, swelling and general illness. The infection may also leads to tooth decay and other diseases which can transform into serious gum diseases. Since they have awkward position, cleaning with brush and flossing becomes difficult making it hard to control the development of bacteria. Therefore, the dentists suggest going for extraction.

It is not like other cases of misaligned teeth, or malocclusion for which Orthodontics Forest Hills has solutions; but, the early treatment by extraction methods would offer relief. It requires more intense handling of misaligned teeth which can never get treated by Braces Forest Hills. In this case, the dentist will recommend an X-ray before extracting the molar to access the exact positioning of the teeth. Extraction is suggested even before the full growth of the tooth to make the process easier and slightly less painful for the patient. In older people, bone becomes dense making the process of extraction more painful and the recovery time also becomes longer. Local anesthesia is given before extraction to minimize the effect.

If you have undergone extraction, then it is strongly recommended to follow the dentist’s advice carefully and take the medication on time to speed up the healing process and experience less pain. Furthermore, sucking or chewing hard food is also not allowed for some duration after the treatment, but it can be opted once the healing progresses. Maintaining hygiene is the key during the process for which your dentist would certainly recommend some solution.
