Wisdom Teeth Removal in Craigieburn

It’s not easy to deal with painful wisdom teeth. Instead of dealing with constant discomfort, your dentist may recommend a wisdom tooth extraction.

• Improved Oral Hygiene.
  Wisdom tooth extractions can improve your overall oral hygiene, as the difficult-to-reach third molars can be a breeding ground for bacteria, plaque, and tartar buildup. Extracting your wisdom teeth makes cleaning them easier, resulting in better dental health.
  
  
• Reduced Risk of Cavities.
  When wisdom teeth are impacted or not growing properly, they create hard-to-clean areas in your mouth that are more prone to cavities and decay due to their position in the far back corners of your mouth. Removing these molars allows easier cleaning and better access to these difficult places when brushing and flossing.
  
  
• Improved Bite Alignment.
  Wisdom teeth can grow in crooked or tilted positions, making it more difficult to chew food properly or speak clearly because they can push other adjacent teeth out of alignment. With the removal of wisdom teeth in Craigieburn, you will have a better bite alignment that’s less likely to cause pain or discomfort.
  
  
• Decreased Risk Of Infection.
  Due to their location deep within the back part of your mouth where food particles tend to get stuck easily if not cleaned properly – wisdom tooth dental issues often result in painful infections that require antibiotics or even surgery depending on how severe it is. However, after removal, these risks become significantly lower since there won’t be any more chance for bacteria buildup near those troublesome molars anymore!

All dental procedures come with risks, including the removal of wisdom teeth in Craigieburn.

• Bleeding – You may experience some bleeding after your wisdom tooth extraction, lasting anywhere between 12-24 hours.
  
  
• Swelling – Swelling is another common side effect of wisdom teeth extraction, usually occurring within 48 hours after the procedure and usually subsides within 7-10 days.
  
  
• Infection – Infection can occur if bacteria enter the socket from which the tooth is pulled out. The risk of infection is further increased if patients do not follow their dentist’s post-operative instructions for care of the wound site.
  
  
• Dry Socket – Dry socket is a painful condition that occurs when a blood clot fails to form in the empty socket created after wisdom tooth removal or when a blood clot becomes dislodged from that location before healing has taken place.
  
  
• Nerve Damage – In rare cases, damage can occur to nerves near where a wisdom tooth was extracted that can cause numbness or tingling sensations in certain parts of your mouth or face.
  
  
• Jaw Fracture & Injury – In extremely rare cases, fractures and tissue injuries may occur due to excessive force applied by either dental instruments used during surgery or incorrect positioning during the extraction procedure itself.

However, at Royal Dental Spa, we have highly experienced dentists to perform the procedure with care and safety to avoid and lower these risks

• Schedule enough time for recovery.
  One of the first things to consider is scheduling enough recovery time after the procedure for maximal comfort and healing.
  
  
• Discuss any medications you may be taking.
  Depending on what it is, your dentist may require you to cease taking the medication to proceed with the procedure.
  
  
• Arrange for someone to take you home.
  Some numbing injections may be used during this kind of procedure, so having someone to drive you on your ride back increases driving safety.
  
  
• Reduce stress the night before.
  Get a good night’s sleep and try to relax before your procedure.

1. Avoid hard or crunchy foods.
   You’ll want to avoid them for the first few days after your surgery.
   
   
2. Avoid drinking through a straw.
   Drinking through a straw increases pressure which may increase bleeding. It’s also important to avoid hot beverages for the first few days after surgery, as they can cause pain or swelling.
   
   
3. Avoid vigorous activity.
   Vigorous activity should also be avoided for at least 24 hours after wisdom teeth removal. This is because it can increase bleeding and swelling. It can also dislodge the blood clot that forms in the extraction site.
