The reason for and process of wisdom teeth removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars to emerge in the back of the mouth, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. While these teeth can be valuable for chewing, many people experience complications due to their late eruption and limited space in the jaw. As a result, wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they are unable to fully emerge through the gum line. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various issues, including pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and the development of cysts or tumors. To alleviate these problems, wisdom teeth removal is often recommended.
The Knights Road Dental Centre team have a wealth of expertise in wisdom teeth removal and are here to ensure this process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. During the extraction procedure, we first numb the area and then carefully remove the impacted wisdom teeth through a surgical process, which may involve making an incision in the gum and, if necessary, sectioning the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal.
After your wisdom teeth removal, our team at Knights Road Dental Centre will provide clear aftercare instructions to ease discomfort and hasten the healing process. Essential tips include avoiding straw usage, rinsing your mouth with warm salt water, consuming soft foods, and steering clear of strenuous physical activity. With our expert guidance and your conscientious homecare, we can together reduce the risk of further complications such as inflammation or dry socket.
Expert tooth extraction services - you can trust our skilled dental team
Tooth extraction may be a necessary dental procedure sometimes to resolve various oral health issues and restore optimal dental function. Decayed teeth beyond repair can require extraction to prevent further spread of infection and to preserve overall oral health. Additionally, teeth may need removal to alleviate overcrowding in the mouth, especially in cases where orthodontic treatment, such as braces, is necessary to align teeth properly. At Knights Road Dental Centre, our experienced and compassionate team ensures gentle and effective tooth extraction procedures.
In some instances, children may undergo tooth extraction to make room for incoming permanent teeth when baby teeth are still present. This proactive approach ensures proper alignment and prevents potential complications as the child's dental development progresses. Knights Road Dental Centre prioritises your child's comfort and ensures each extraction is carried out with utmost care and gentleness.
Whether addressing decay, overcrowding, or facilitating proper tooth alignment, tooth extraction may be an essential component of comprehensive dental care, helping patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles for years to come.
