In terms of oral surgery, wisdom teeth removal is a common surgery type. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that erupt through the gums. For many patients, there is not enough room there for them to fit. This caused them to become impacted leading to pain and discomfort. In some cases, an infection can even occur. This leads to the need for their removal. A Dacula Georgia dentist such as Dr. Darjan Sweat can successfully determine whether or not a patient requires wisdom teeth removal.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery
The pain associated with impacted wisdom teeth leads to the need for their removal. Impacted wisdom teeth also can cause structural damage to both the teeth and the jaw. Routine x-rays during a regular dental exam can help decide whether or not they need to be removed.
The process requires anesthesia (whether local or general). Patients can expect to feel some pain and discomfort for a period of time after the removal. Various hygiene tips will be offered, which should be followed closely so that a dry socket doesn’t occur. This painful condition occurs when the blood clot in the socket dislodges leaving the bone and the nerve exposed to food, fluid, air and anything else that gets inside.
