What Is Wisdom Teeth Extraction?
Even though it can sound scary, getting your wisdom teeth removed is a common procedure. If your jaw doesn’t have enough room or your wisdom teeth are causing pain or infection, removal might be the best option. It’s a straightforward, outpatient treatment, so you’ll be able to go home the same day and start healing. Our team is here to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible!
When wisdom teeth grow, they might harm your grin and overall oral health. They can squeeze your teeth closer together if there's no room. This crowding can make proper teeth cleaning tough, trapping food and causing cavities or gum illness. You can avoid these problems by keeping an eye out for your wisdom teeth and keeping the area clean.
Having wisdom teeth below your gums can be risky. If they don't come out, infections might happen. This then can harm your teeth and gums. Our team offers simple wisdom teeth removal and will refer you to a trusted specialist if your situation is complex in nature.
Our Process
Your Downtown Edmonton Dental Solution
Our professional dental team knows having the right information makes a world of difference with both your diagnosis and treatment. That’s why we start with a thorough exam of your teeth, jaws, and gums. We use digital X-rays and other modern tools to get a clear picture, so we can create a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Knowledge is power for our patients. Going to the dentist is hard. We know that. That's why we make sure you know exactly what is going on, every step of the way. We’ll walk you through your treatment step-by-step, so you know what to expect. Before your wisdom teeth removal, we’ll give you instructions on how to get ready.
The procedure starts with our dentist numbing the area with a local anesthetic. You might feel some pressure, but discomfort is usually minimal. All through the extraction, we’ll check in with you to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. We use local anesthesia because it won’t affect your motor skills or awareness, so you’ll be able to drive yourself home afterward.
Once the tooth is out, we’ll clean the area and close it with stitches. We’ll place gauze over the site to protect it and help with healing.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction: What’s Next
Our Downtown Edmonton dentistry team will discuss proper post-procedure care with you and provide tips and suggestions to promote healing and prevent complications like dry socket. One of the main things to avoid is exposing the extraction site by dislodging or removing the protective blood clot your body will naturally form over the area. It's important that you do not drink from a straw or smoke during the first week following wisdom teeth removal because the suction created will compromise the blood clot and allow bacteria and food particles to enter the extraction site.
You should only eat soft foods for the first few days because hard or sticky foods irritate the area and dislodge the blood clot. Our dentist will also discuss which over-the-counter pain medications are safe to use if you need them during the healing period.
