Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Everyone goes through this at some point in their life be it in their adolescent years or much later in life. Tooth extraction is not as simple as many would think. The root of every tooth are connected to veins and it demands a highly meticulous dentist in carefully extracting the tooth.
What does a wisdom tooth extraction mean?
Your dentist says it’s time to remove your wisdom Tooth. They may refer you to an oral surgeon, who will do the procedure in their office. It should only take a few days for you to heal and feel back to normal. If the tooth hasn't come through the gum, a small incision will be made through the gum to access it. In some cases, a small piece of the bone covering the tooth may also need to be removed.
The tooth may be cut into smaller parts to make it easier to remove through the opening. There's less need to make an incision if the tooth has broken through the gum. You'll feel some pressure just before the tooth is removed, as your dentist or oral surgeon needs to widen the tooth socket by rocking the tooth back and forth before taking it out.
You shouldn't feel any pain as your wisdom teeth are removed because the area will be numb. However, if you do feel pain during the procedure, tell your dentist or oral surgeon so they can give you more anaesthetic. How long it takes to remove the tooth will vary. Simple procedures can take a few minutes but it can take longer than 20 minutes if it's more complicated.
