Having your wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, removed is never a joyful process. Some people are lucky and only get one wisdom tooth or none at all. Others aren't so lucky and get impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth removal isn't actually necessary for everyone; some people don't need to get their wisdom teeth removed because their mouths may be large enough to hold their wisdom teeth.
For a number of people wisdom teeth is a huge difficulty for finical reasons and obviously the painful reasons. Wisdom teeth usually show up around the time you turn sixteen and twenty five. However, not everyone is the same. There are people that don’t get their wisdom teeth for years later; some people may even get their wisdom teeth at a very young age. If you're really lucky you may not get wisdom teeth at all. A big reason why wisdom teeth are such a problem is because there isn't room for them. Sometimes this can result to aching and or crocked teeth. This state is known as teeth impaction, which can be extremely painful. One will need to have to have their wisdom teeth removed if there has been a build of bacteria, swelling or pain.
The only way to fix impacted teeth is to have your wisdom teeth surgically removed. The wisdom teeth can’t be fixed another other way but by extraction. Some people only have a part of their wisdom tooth surface. One part of the wisdom teeth, and only one part, can be removed beyond the gum line. However, the other part forms a flab over it and stays beneath the gum line. You may get bits of food stuck in the flap that can cause bacterial infection. Sometimes you might feel some pain while you bite. They only way to fix the problem is to have surgery to get your wisdom teeth removed.
Anesthesia will permanently be used while getting your wisdom teeth removed. Some dental surgeons use local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. Depending on your state is what kind of anesthesia your dentist will give you. Xylocaine or local anesthetic is used most often. Most of the time a when dental surgeon uses general anesthesia; nitrous oxide will also be used for your wisdom teeth removal surgery. Not many people know that anesthetics also come in pill form. The great thing about anesthetics coming in pill for is that those patients who are have a needle phobia.
Once the anesthesia is given to you the dental surgeon will then remove your impacted tooth by cutting into your gum. Sometimes the root of your wisdom tooth can break during the removal. Not everyone is the same; some surgeries take longer than others depending on their situation. Once your wisdom teeth or tooth has been removed, your dental surgeon will then stitch you up to help with bleeding and help you heal faster. Your dental surgeon will then give you painkillers and antibiotics to help with your pain and to prevent bacteria from building up.
Once you have your wisdom teeth are removed there usually aren't any difficulties. However, some people might keep bleeding for several days after surgery. In such a case it is advised that you tell your dental surgeon. For the most part wisdom teeth, or third molars, are a safe surgery that has little to no difficulties.
