Wisdom teeth removal is one standard procedure offered by the dentist all over the world. Although it is common for people who have impacted wisdom teeth to undergo wisdom teeth removal, some people don't have sufficient knowledge about the surgical procedure associated with it. Here we bring you some points to learn about removal and total wisdom teeth price.

What are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are nothing but the third set of molars, which erupts between the ages of 17 and 25. The teeth grow at the back of the mouth and don't pose any risk if it has enough room for growth. However, when your mouth lacks enough space, wisdom teeth will face difficulty to grow, leading to discomfort and pain.

When is Wisdom Teeth removal necessary?

As discussed, wisdom teeth don't cause any problem for people when it erupts fully. However, wisdom teeth that lack sufficient room to grow will grow impacted, causing problems. This is when dentists recommend removing the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth when they lack space, grow at different angles leading to several issues which include:
  • Bacterial growth
  • Pain
  • Trapped food
  • Cyst formation
  • Damage to surrounding jaw bone and teeth
According to NCBI, most wisdom teeth are extracted before 70 years of age.

Signs that your Wisdom Teeth should be removed:

When you have pain or discomfort, talk to your dentist. He will analyse your condition and let you know if you should undergo wisdom teeth removal. Don't fret, wisdom teeth cost is affordable and is a simple procedure. Some symptoms that suggest you visit a dental professional includes
  • Jaw pain
  • Bleeding gums
  • Difficulty to open the mouth
  • Swollen gums
  • Swelling around the jaw

What to expect during Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure. However, it takes very little time for the entire process. Before starting the procedure, you will be administered with general or local anaesthesia which means you will experience no pain during the whole procedure. You will begin to experience mild discomfort once the effect of anaesthesia goes off. However, the dentist will suggest you with pain killers. The wisdom teeth price would vary depending on the complication of your procedure.

Aftercare Tips:

You will notice some swelling at the site of the procedure for some time, which is normal. It can be controlled by using an ice pack. Place the ice Pak near the surgical site on the cheek area to control swelling. Your dentist will suggest you bite down a gauze, which will help control bleeding, if any.

Take only soft foods, avoid chewing too much for some days. Also, avoid foods that are extremely spicy and hot. Besides, when you take liquids, do not use a straw.
Post-operative care is crucial to prevent the formation of the dry socket, which is painful during recovery. Avoid smoking, exercising too much, spitting, and drinking from a straw.

Wisdom teeth removal cost is very affordable, hence, do not postpone the procedure. If the problem increases, you might end up with a more complicated treatment.
