Introduction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause dental issues due to their late eruption and lack of space in the jaw. Nalamm Dental Clinic in Kumbakonam offers professional wisdom teeth removal services to prevent complications and maintain your oral health.
What is Wisdom Teeth Removal? Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure to extract one or more of the third molars. These teeth typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25 and can cause pain, infection, or alignment problems if there isn’t enough space for them to grow properly.
How to Prepare for Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Consultation with Dr. Aravind Chakravarthy: Discuss your dental history and symptoms.
- X-Rays and Evaluation: Dr. Chakravarthy will take X-rays to evaluate the position of your wisdom teeth and plan the best approach for removal.
- Pre-Procedure Guidelines: Follow any instructions provided, such as dietary restrictions and medication adjustments.
The Removal Process
- Anesthesia: You’ll receive local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
- Extraction: Dr. Chakravarthy will make an incision in the gum to access the tooth, which is then removed. Stitches may be placed to promote healing.
- Recovery: You’ll be monitored until the anesthesia wears off and provided with post-operative care instructions.
Post-Removal Care
- Rest: Take it easy for a few days to facilitate healing.
- Cold Compresses: Use ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Medications: Take prescribed painkillers and antibiotics as directed.
- Soft Diet: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, soup, and mashed potatoes for the first few days.
- Oral Care: Avoid vigorous rinsing or brushing near the extraction site, but maintain oral hygiene with gentle rinsing.
