WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth can cause dental problems, including pain, crowding, and infection. Ironwood Dental Care offers safe and comfortable wisdom tooth extraction services in Queen Creek, AZ patients.

What are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge in the mouth; for many people, there isn’t enough space to accommodate them. This can lead to several problems, including infection, inflammation, and pain. In some cases, the teeth may grow at an angle, pushing against other teeth and causing crowding. Additionally, wisdom teeth can be challenging to clean, leading to cavities and gum disease.

Signs that You Need Wisdom Tooth Extraction

While not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, sure signs may indicate a need for extraction. These include:

  • Pain or discomfort in the back of the mouth
  • Swelling or redness around the gums
  • Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
  • Difficulty opening your mouth
  • Recurring infections in the area

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a dental professional to determine if a wisdom tooth extraction is necessary.

Our Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

Ironwood Dental Care uses the latest techniques and technology to make wisdom tooth removal as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Before the procedure, we’ll perform a thorough exam to determine the best course of action. Then, depending on your needs, we may recommend local anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

During the procedure, our oral surgeon will carefully remove the tooth, taking care not to damage the surrounding gums or teeth. We’ll then use specialized tools to clean the area and close the wound using sutures.

Recovery from Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Following wisdom tooth extraction, it’s essential to take proper care of the area to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for the wound, including tips on eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. You may also need over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medication to manage discomfort.

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days of the procedure, although it may take several weeks to heal fully. During this time, avoiding certain foods and drinks, including stiff or crunchy foods and hot liquids is essential.
