Possible Complications of Wisdom teeth Removal Surgery

7/30/2017

The actual procedure of wisdom teeth removal in Sydney is painless. But you will have to face an unpleasant recovery period after the surgery. Similar to the wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney, the length of your recovery mainly depends on the complexity of the procedure. For instance, the extraction of a fully erupted wisdom tooth is easier when compared to a partially erupted one. Thus, the recovery wouldn’t be much longer. However, if you follow the after-care instructions provided by your dentist carefully, you can speed up the healing process, no matter how complex the surgery is.

Though, wisdom teeth removal is quite common, complications or unexpected results can occur just like any other medical treatment. The risk of developing secondary problems is higher between the ages of 25-34 years. Here are some most well-known risks that are related to wisdom teeth removal in Sydney,

Nerve damage

A nerve that is responsible for supplying feel to the lower lip, chin and the tongue runs closely to the roots of the wisdom teeth in the lower jaw. And it could be accidently damaged while removing your wisdom teeth. But this risk is highly associated with the older patients. When you remove them around the age of 18 however, the roots of the wisdom teeth would be shorter and thus the risk of injuring the nerve is minimised.

If your nerve is damaged, you would find it hard to eat and drink. Mostly it would last only for a few weeks or months. But if the damage is very severe, it would become permanent.

Sinus

The wisdom teeth in the upper jaw are present near your sinuses. When they are removed, it could create an opening between the mouth and the sinus. Similar to the nerve damage, this situation can be avoided by performing the surgery at the earliest stage when the roots are shorter. But if this occurs, you would be given specific instructions to follow like avoid blowing your nose and sneezing with an open mouth for a few days. And the problem would be resolved eventually.

Dry sockets


This condition occurs when the blood clot is not formed over the wound or if the developed blood clot gets dislodged. The most common reasons for this are smoking, failing to follow the after-care instructions, birth-control pills and you are above 25 years old. This issue can be solved by your dentist. He/she would place a medicated dressing over the socket until it gets healed.

Infection

Post-operative infection can happen occasionally. But is easily resolved by visiting your dentist, who would thorough clean the area and prescribe antibiotics to control the situation.

Other than these, you can experience some other minor complications like stiffness in the jaw, excessive bleeding, chafing near the lips and facial bruising.

Do you have an Impacted Wisdom Tooth? What are your Options?

Wisdom teeth are the four permanent teeth that develop lastly at the back of your mouth. They are usually developed when a person is in his/her late teen years or early twenties. Thus, they are named “Wisdom teeth” as that age is typically associated with acquiring maturity and wisdom. Most people have 32 permanent teeth but sometimes their jaws could be too small to accommodate the emerging wisdom teeth. They get impacted because of they have no adequate space to grow. When they don’t erupt completely, obviously they would be submerged in a small flap of gum tissue. And food particles, plaque and bacteria get trapped around them, causing the infection.

Also, it is difficult to reach the partially erupted teeth with a brush and floss. Hence, they cannot be cleaned properly and are often ignored. This condition promotes the growth of bacteria because of the accumulation of food, plaque and other debris. Thus, wisdom teeth removal in Sydney has become one of the most common oral procedures.

Symptoms
When you have an infected wisdom tooth, you shall experience
  • Pain around the area
  • Headaches and throbbing in the jaw, neck and the throat.
  • Sore throats
  • Swollen lymph glands below the jaw
  • Difficulty in chewing or eating
  • Swelling in the face and jaw
  • Presence of bad smell and taste in the mouth
If you suspect that you have an infected tooth, consult with your dentist so that she/he can start treating you before things get worse.

Options
  • Sometimes, the position of the wisdom tooth would not be threatening and the level of damage can be controlled. In such cases, you can keep your wisdom teeth. Your dentist would simply clean around the area and would recommend maintaining good oral care. However, you have to visit the clinic regularly to make sure that they remain harmless. But as stated by Dr. Louis K. Rafetto of Wilmington, Del about 75% -80% of people cannot maintain their wisdom teeth properly.  Also, the retained teeth were extracted at least 70% of the time.

  • Also, it is possible to guide the partially developed tooth to a proper position with the use of palate-expanding orthodontic appliances.

  • But the safest option is to have wisdom teeth removal in Sydney. When the damage is severe or the positioning of the teeth is very bad, it might be your only way to deal with it. In certain cases, your dentist would recommend you to remove the wisdom teeth even before they are erupted to avoid any potential issues in the future. And the procedure would be much easier. If you are worried about wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney, remember that you would have to pay more when the situation gets more serious, not to mention the pain and discomfort.

Procrastinating would only make hard things harder. So, contact your dentist immediately so that you can know even more about your options.
