What Is A Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure?

Your wisdom teeth are also referred to as third molars. Like other molars, they’re flat on the surface and designed to break down food, so it’s safe to swallow. These molars are the last adult teeth to erupt.

The tooth extraction involves receiving local sedation or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia effectively eliminates pain at the extraction site, but you are still awake during the procedure. Those who feel anxious during dental procedures may opt for general anesthesia so they’re unconscious during the procedure.

After administering the anesthesia, your dentist will cut your gums open. They may split the wisdom tooth into pieces before they extract it if that will simplify the process. Your dentist may also have to remove any bone that prevents tooth root access.

Your dentist will extract the tooth, remove any debris, and clean the extraction site. Your dentist will then use stitches to close the injection site.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction involves having your dentist remove your wisdom teeth. You can schedule an appointment with one of our Houston general dentists to confirm which wisdom teeth are present and need to be removed. Some people get all four wisdom teeth at once; others never get all four wisdom teeth. Your dentist can use X-rays to confirm if your wisdom teeth are starting to come in or are impacted. 

  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth are molars at the very back of your mouth that are trapped beneath the gum line, often due to lack of space. This can lead to pain, swelling, infection, and damage to nearby teeth if left untreated. Removing impacted wisdom teeth can prevent future dental issues and improve overall oral health.
  • Non-Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Nonimpacted wisdom teeth are third molars that have erupted and are visible above the gum line. It’s also possible to have a partially impacted wisdom tooth. In that case, you can see part of the wisdom tooth above your gums, while part of it is trapped beneath the gum line.

How Do Wisdom Teeth Affect Your Oral Health?

Wisdom teeth, once essential for our ancestors’ diets, are now unnecessary due to modern eating habits and smaller jaw sizes. Most people lack the space for them to erupt safely, leading to potential oral health issues. Impacted and non-impacted wisdom teeth can push against neighboring teeth, causing misalignment, overcrowding, and difficulty cleaning, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Other complications include bad breath, cysts, nerve damage, abscesses, headaches, infections, jaw pain, and difficulty swallowing. Removing problematic wisdom teeth can help prevent these serious dental concerns.

Other complications from impacted wisdom teeth include the following:

  • Bad breath
  • Cysts
  • Damaged nerves
  • Dental abscesses
  • Headaches
  • Infections
  • Jaw pain
  • Pain when opening your mouth
  • Trouble swallowing

Should You Get Wisdom Teeth Extracted Early?

It’s possible to prevent tooth decay and gum disease if you brush and floss regularly; however, severe oral health issues can affect even those with good oral hygiene habits. Since wisdom teeth increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, delaying their extraction makes you more likely to experience serious oral health complications.

Jaw pain is one potential sign that your wisdom teeth are coming in. Bad breath, difficulty opening your jaw, an unpleasant taste in your mouth, and swollen or bleeding gums are also potential signs your wisdom teeth are coming in. The best course of action is to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists. Our dental team will confirm if your wisdom teeth are coming in, which ones are present, and whether they recommend tooth removal. They’ll recommend a timeline for removing your wisdom teeth to prevent damage to neighboring teeth, misalignment, and other potential complications.

What To Expect After The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

After the procedure, some bleeding and swelling are normal. Gauze helps form clots, protects the incision, and prevents infection. Your dentist will explain how to replace it. To heal properly, stick to soft foods and avoid hard, spicy, acidic, or crunchy foods, alcohol, and popcorn to prevent dry socket.

Appropriate soft foods you can eat after your wisdom tooth extraction include the following:  

  • Applesauce
  • Avocado
  • Bananas
  • Bouillon or broth
  • Eggs
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Oatmeal
  • Pasta

WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION FAQs

Reasons some people have bad breath after their wisdom tooth extraction include the following:

  • Dead blood cells from your blood clot
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Trapped debris

Following your dentist’s instructions to keep your mouth clean during your recovery can help to prevent or reduce bad breath. 

Your dentist uses anesthesia to prevent pain during the tooth extraction. Your dentist will recommend painkillers or provide a prescription to manage your pain during recovery. Following your dentist’s care procedures and eating appropriate foods can help to reduce your pain.

Most people fully recover within seven to 14 days. The recovery time varies; it may take longer to recover if you have dry sockets. Improper care could also lead to an infection, which will extend the recovery period.

Soft foods will not tear blood clots or penetrate incision sites, so dentists advise you to consume soft foods after removing your wisdom teeth. That’s why dentists recommend eating soft ice cream that doesn’t contain nuts or hard chunks of cookies or other items. The coldness of the ice cream can also help ease any discomfort.
