Most people have their wisdom teeth removed when they're young because once patients reach their 30s or 40s the procedure can be more difficult with a longer recovery time.

What Are Wisdom Teeth? www.dentistemergencysydney.com

Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars in the back of your mouth.

They usually come in between the ages of 17 and 25 and they are spot on x-rays. As the name “Wisdom Teeth” implies, these teeth won’t bring you bouts of wisdom.

THE REASON BEHIND THIS IS: They grow so far back in your mouth and they can be trapped in your jawbone or gums, which can be painful.

Before Surgery www.dentistemergencysydney.com

Have a meet with your oral surgeon to talk about the process:  Talk about any health problems you have.  List any drugs you take on a regular basis.  Ask any questions you have about the surgery.  Discuss what type of anesthesia you’ll have. You can either be numb or asleep during your surgery.

During Surgery www.dentistemergencysydney.com

 Your surgery should take 45 minutes or less. Your doctor may have to cut your gums or bone to get the teeth out.  If so, he or she will stitch the wounds shut so they heal quickly. These stitches usually dissolve after a few days.  Your dentist may also stuff gauze pads in your mouth to soak up some of the blood.

After Surgery Most people have little to no pain after surgery. You'll likely have swelling and mild discomfort for 3 or 5 days. Follow your doctor’s instructions for a quicker recovery. Here are some tips for the first 3 days after surgery:  Use an ice pack on your face to curb swelling or skin color changes.  Drink plenty of fluids.  Brush your teeth starting the second day. Don’t brush against any blood clots.  Take the drugs your doctor prescribes to ease pain or swelling.
