- Not that everyone has wisdom teeth, some may develop one to four of them between the ages 17 to 25. They are the last or third set of molars that an individual develops and also cares the least about. Some people can develop the teeth in their late 20s as well. If they erupt smoothly, they could support the adjacent morals but if not, they cause pain or can badly affect the molars.
- Wisdom teeth removal is recommended if one suffers from wisdom tooth decay, infection or pain. In addition, one may have smaller jawbones to fit the wisdom teeth fully and hence have no room for the teeth to grow. That is why many require going for wisdom tooth extraction. Another reason for extraction is having an impacted wisdom tooth.
- If you experience one of the above symptoms you may have to get your infected wisdom tooth extracted by your dentist or oral surgeon. But only after an x-ray to confirm whether you need a bone cut or just gum removal before extraction of the tooth. Usually, it takes about just an hour for the procedure. But getting your teeth/gum problems treated at a lesser cost in fewer sittings, especially with painless technology is as important as finding one nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does everyone have a wisdom tooth extraction?
No. People with an impacted wisdom tooth should go for an extraction. That means, if the wisdom tooth doesn’t have enough space to erupt and grow it affects the adjoining teeth. Only those teeth need to be pulled out to avoid problems.
Is there any post-extraction care after the treatment?
Yes, patients are advised not to consume or bite hard and crunchy foods to avoid pressure on the area. Also, avoiding gargling and heavy exercises for a couple of days is needed besides taking medications to heal.
How long does it take to heal?
With proper medication and care, the pain lasts for about a day or two and the area is healed within a week.
What is the cost of wisdom tooth extraction?
Depending on the impact of the tooth on the adjacent teeth, the dentists analyze the need for a gum cut and sutures. Thus the cost may vary.
