Why Do People Get Their Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Wisdom teeth grow right at the back of your mouth — behind your molars. Most people have four, which usually develop during the teenage years and early 20s.
For the majority of people, wisdom teeth cause very few problems. While they might cause pain when they’re coming through, they don’t cause long-lasting issues if they straighten over time. The problems start when there isn’t enough room for them in the gums. Because they grow at an angle, they often cause pressure on the other teeth.
A dentist will only recommend wisdom tooth extraction if you’re in significant and chronic pain — as there are a number of complications associated with the procedure. Even impacted wisdom teeth can remain in place without causing pain.
As well as the pain caused by added pressure and crowding, some wisdom teeth can leave gaps in the gums where food can accumulate. And when this happens, the risks of infections, tooth decay and gum disease increase substantially.
How it works
What to Expect from Wisdom Tooth Extraction
While tens of thousands of people get their wisdom teeth removed every year, the procedure can be unpleasant. And for some, it can cause some serious complications.
A more uncommon symptom is tingling or numbness in and around the face. If you experience this, consult your dentist as soon as possible.
If you’re booked in for an extraction, there are a few things you need to know:
- Recovery can take up to two weeks, so plan time off from work accordingly
- You will have swelling in your mouth and cheek — ease it by pressing a cold
- Bruising in the area might persist for up to two weeks
- You will have a stiff jaw during the seven to ten days after the procedure
- You will experience pain in the area for a few days after the extraction
- The pain you experience will directly relate to how difficult the extraction was
- You may have an unpleasant taste in your mouth for a few days
