Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Removed?

Wisdom teeth can grow in at an odd angle or even cause crowding in the mouth. In serious cases, wisdom teeth can fail to erupt and become impacted in the jaw. This can result in pain, stiffness, swelling, and many other oral health problems. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth may even trigger tumors and cysts to grow in the oral cavity. Removing wisdom teeth that are having trouble erupting and those that have become impacted can ease discomfort and prevent further oral health complications.

When Do Wisdom Teeth Emerge?

Wisdom teeth usually erupt late in the teen years or at least by the mid-twenties. Some people may never develop their wisdom teeth while others will have them develop without causing additional problems. A large number of people do have complications when their wisdom teeth begin to grow. The wisdom teeth may grow in and cause misalignment or they may push the other teeth closer together causing overcrowding. At times, the third molars are not able to emerge at all and will become impacted in the jaw. The dentist here at our Tel Aviv clinic can easily extract your wisdom teeth to prevent or treat any oral health problems.

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure

The first step in removing a wisdom tooth is performing an X-ray. This will allow our Tel Aviv dentist to create a customized treatment plan that will best fit your specific needs. A dentist will then administer sedation to prevent pain during the extraction procedure. The wisdom tooth will then be removed and the dentist will clean, close, and pack the wound to promote proper healing. Everyone will heal at their own pace, however, most of our patients are back to normal within a week of their wisdom tooth removal.

Taking Care Of Your Teeth Following Extraction

After your treatment, the dedicated oral health professionals will go over your after care instructions with you. This will help to reduce any paid following the procedure and teach you how to care for the wound to prevent infection. In addition to your at-home care instructions, a follow-up visit will also be scheduled. The staff here at Tel Aviv Dental Clinic offer thoughtful care that will make your treatment efficient, stress-free, and speed up your recovery.
