When Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Really Necessary?
Usually, Dr. N. Patel will only recommend extracting the wisdom teeth if not doing so would cause serious pain or threaten the health of the surrounding teeth and gums. For example, because many people don’t have enough room in the mouth to accommodate the wisdom teeth, they may end up pressing against the other teeth, causing discomfort and misalignment. The third molars may also get impacted, or trapped, under the gumline, increasing the risk of infection.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Aftercare
After Dr. N. Patel has swiftly and skillfully removed your wisdom teeth, he’ll send you home with a detailed guide on making a smooth recovery. These aftercare tips will likely include:
- Keep the gauze pressed to the extraction sites and switch them out as needed.
- Take any prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication as directed.
- Eat only soft foods for the next several days.
- Avoid drinking through a straw, smoking, forcefully spitting, or blowing your nose
