Wisdom Tooth Surgery

Expert Care for Your Third Molars

Wisdom tooth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes, these teeth don’t have enough space to erupt properly, leading to various problems like pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. At Millennium Smiles, we offer expert wisdom tooth surgery to address these issues and ensure your oral health.

Why You Might Need Wisdom Tooth Surgery

When a wisdom tooth is unable to erupt fully due to lack of space, it becomes impacted, which can cause pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. If your wisdom teeth erupt into a crowded mouth, they can push other teeth out of alignment, affecting your bite and causing pain. In some cases, cysts or tumors can develop around impacted wisdom teeth, requiring surgical removal. These are just some of the reasons why wisdom tooth surgery might be necessary.

FAQ

Most Question we had

Dental FAQs: Our FAQ section answers your questions about Wisdom Tooth Surgery

After wisdom tooth surgery, it's important to eat soft foods that require minimal chewing. This helps prevent irritation and promotes healing. Here are some good options:

  • Blended soups: Tomato, pumpkin, or vegetable soups blended until smooth.
  • Broths: Chicken, beef, or vegetable broths are hydrating and provide nutrients.
  • Applesauce: A simple and easy-to-digest option.
  • Yogurt: Choose plain or flavored yogurt, but avoid chunky varieties.
  • Smoothies: Blend fruits, vegetables, and yogurt for a nutritious and refreshing drink.
  • Mashed potatoes: A classic comfort food that's easy to swallow.
  • Jell-O, pudding, and ice cream: These can help soothe the mouth and provide some calories.

The duration of wisdom tooth surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Simple extractions can take 30-45 minutes, while more complex cases involving impacted teeth may take 1-2 hours.

Pain after wisdom tooth surgery is normal. Here are some tips to manage it:

  • Take prescribed pain medication: Follow your dentist's instructions carefully.
  • Apply ice packs: Hold an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the outside of your cheek for 15-20 minutes at a time.
  • Rinse with warm salt water: This can help reduce inflammation and clean the area.
  • Avoid strenuous activities: Rest and allow your body to heal.

Swelling is a common side effect of wisdom tooth surgery. Here's how to reduce it:
