What is a wisdom teeth?

A wisdom teeth is part of the permanent dental set and consists of 32 permanent teeth . Usually you have four wisdom teeth, which are behind your back teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.

Wisdom teeth usually break between the ages of 17-26, and some experience symptoms such as mild irritation and pain in the area in this regard. But it’s far from anyone who notice any problems or even get their wisdom teeth. D u can read more about wisdom teeth here.

What can the symptoms of a wisdom state be like?

It may feel a little sore in the area where the teeth break through the mucous membrane / the gum in the mouth. In addition, there may be a temporary inflammation of the gum around the growing wisdom state. The reason is that bacteria accumulate in the gum pocket and it can give the following symptoms:

• • Tenderness
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Problems opening the mouth properly.
  • Difficulties to swallow.
  • Poor taste in the mouth.
  • Tenderness and swelling under the jaw

Inflammation of the womb around a wisdom can be treated, however, it may be necessary to remove wisdom if inflammation comes back. If you experience the above symptoms, consult your dentist and check your teeth closer.

 

When will a wisdom state be removed?

A wisdom state is removed only if it hurts. If you get persistent problems with a wisdom state, the best treatment is often to remove wisdom. A further X-ray image can show how your wisdom teeth are located in the jaw, and from the image the dentist can decide if it is necessary to remove one or more wisdom teeth.

Most common are the wisdom teeth in the lower jaw that cause problems in the dental set. The reason is often insufficient space, but it may also be due to incorrect embedding of the jaw. Wisdom teeth can lie obliquely or horizontally and lack the opportunity to break out normally and therefore create complications.

In general, wisdom teeth should be removed if one or more of the following problems exist:

• • If the gums are often inflamed or swollen.
  • If there are holes ( karies ) in the wisdom and / or the adjacent teeth, wisdom is often removed and the adjacent tooth is treated for caries so that it can be preserved.
  • If there is a deep gums between the wisdom and the adjacent teeth ( periodontitis ).
  • If the wisdom condition irritates the adjacent tooth.
  • If there is a cyst around the wisdom crown. In rare cases, a cyst can develop around the wisdom crown. As a rule, such a cyst in the jaw is harmless but should be removed along with the wisdom state. The reason is that some of the jaw can be eroded by the cyst so that the teeth can be pushed out of position if the cyst and wisdom are not removed.

 

How do you remove a wisdom state?

Wisdom teeth are removed either by being pulled out or worn out. If the wisdom state is fully pre-grown, it is drawn like the other teeth. If wisdom is only partially broken or not at all, an operation may be necessary to remove the tooth.

Before wisdom is removed, the dentist takes one or more X-rays to see how the tooth and root are placed in the jaw. A wisdom can be difficult to remove depending on the location and the surrounding leg; Therefore, the dentist always assesses whether they can perform the surgery or if the patient is to be referenced to a specialist in jaw surgery.

When a wisdom condition is removed, it is painless with local aesthetic and, if necessary, supplemented with nitrous oxide and a tranquilliser. An easy tooth extraction is usually a quick procedure where the dentist makes the teeth loose and then draws it out. During an operation , the dentist opens up to the wisdom state through the gum.

Often, part of the dental bone is removed to gain access to wisdom. When the teeth are exposed, it is removed. In some cases it is necessary to divide the tooth so that it can be removed in several pieces.

After wisdom has been removed, rinse the mouth thoroughly with physiological saline. The dentist then sews together gums with silk threads to be removed after 5-7 days. The dentist will inform you of the precautions that you must follow during the healing period.The series illustrates the removal of a wisdom state, where it has been necessary to divide the tooth in two.

In some cases there may be a need to remove all four wisdom teeth. In that case, one side’s wisdom teeth in the upper / lower jaw can be removed at the same time and the other side, which is not used, can be used to chew.

 

 

What complications can occur?

Removing a wisdom teeth condition usually takes place without any complications, but there is always a small risk during treatment.

Occasionally, inflammation may occur during the operating wound and this causes strong and bulging pain. In severe inflammation there is a risk of fever and poor general condition and poor breath and poor taste in the mouth. A cure of antibiotics may be necessary, therefore, it is important to go back to the dentist after treatment.

In some cases the plug of blood that fills the hole in the jaw can be dissolved. This is a very painful condition where the pain goes up in the ear. The complication is treated by application of antiseptic and analgesic in the hole.

Upon removal of a wisdom state, there is a minimal risk of injury to the cervical vein (mandibular nerve) at the root of the wisdom state. If the cervical vein is close to the wisdom state, the nerve may be damaged during treatment. The following symptoms may be numbness, tingling or numbness in parts of the lower lip. Therefore, it is important for the dentist to take an X-ray before the treatment is performed so that the dentist can evaluate how close the wisdom root and cervical vertebra are placed relative to each other. Often symptoms after surgery are temporary, but in rare cases they are in their own right.

 

How do I get after treatment?

If you have removed a wisdom state, you can experience the following:

Bleeding

Sipping blood: During the first few days it is common for blood to drop. The blood is mixed with your saliva but it is harmless and requires no treatment. To prevent bleeding, follow the following guidelines:

 

• Avoid rinsing your mouth during the first two hours. Then you can drink cold drinks.
• Avoid touching the wound with your tongue, fingers, etc.
• Avoid licking or sucking on the wound.
• Avoid physical effort during the first few days.

Regular bleeding: If you have regular bleeding, bite into a piece of sterile gauze, cotton or a clean handkerchief for at least 30 minutes. If you continue to have bleeding in the form of blood clots, contact your clinic, emergency dentist or emergency department.

Pain and swelling

When the anesthesia disappears you may feel pain and / or mild pain in your mouth. After most treatments, it is common for a swelling to occur due to fluid accumulation in the tissue.

Swelling can be reduced by placing a gel on the cheek for 15 minutes at a time with at least 15 minutes intervals. Swelling can be experienced as mild soreness which increases during the first 3 days. Then swelling culminates and will then disappear approximately 1 week after treatment. It is common for the cheek to be slightly blue-yellow but it goes away after a while.

The dentist will print painkillers as a temporary anesthetic after surgery. It is important to take these tablets while local anesthesia still works – even if you do not experience pain.

If you experience severe pain despite the tablets, contact your clinic, emergency dentist or emergency department. If you experience severe pain after 2-3 days, it may be a sign of a further complication that requires treatment. You should therefore contact the clinic.

Slight difficulty swallowing decreased ability to open mouth
After treatment, there may be slight difficulties swallowing and reduced ability to open mouth. It does not require any further treatment as it disappears over time.

Inflammation

A few days after surgery, inflammation may occur. Symptoms include increased pain, possibly fever and / or swelling that is hard, hot and red. However, this is rare. From all wounds it is common for you to have a light yellowish move that can give a bad taste to the mouth as part of the healing process and it is not necessarily a new inflammation.

How should I take care of me after treatment?

After treatment, follow the following advice:

The diet

The first day after treatment is recommended to only take liquid and cold / lukewarm diet. Hot drinks should be avoided during the first day as it may cause additional bleeding. During the following days, food intake should consist of a soft diet with a gradual transition to normal diet. It is best if the food is chewed gently on the opposite side to avoid getting food residue in the hole.

 

Exercise

During the first days after treatment, it is recommended that you keep calm and avoid excessive physical exertion, which may overload the wound and cause bleeding.

 

Toothbrush and mouthwash

It is important to keep your mouth clean. If the mouth is not cleaned, there is a greater risk of an inflammation of the wound. To keep the wound and suture wires clean, rinse the mouth with chlorhexidine twice daily until the suture wires have been removed. The teeth are brushed as usual, but you must be careful not to brush the wound and the sutures too hard. Note that there must be at least 1 hour between mouthwash and toothbrush.

 

Alcohol

Alcohol increases blood flow to the wound, so excessive consumption can lead to bleeding. Alcohol interferes and delays the wound healing process. Therefore avoid alcohol at least the first day.

 

Smoking

Nicotine has a negative effect on the healing process, just like alcohol, why smoking stops are advised during the healing period.
