Wisdom Teeth Removal Understanding the Procedure

The third molars are often referred to as the
wisdom teeth. These teeth usually grow in in the
early 20s or late teen years. Its normal to have
four of these teeth, but some may have more or
fewer teeth. The problem is that these teeth
often become impacted, which means that they need
to be extracted.

When you go through wisdom teeth removal, a
dentist or surgeon can both do this removal
process. You can expect some type of anaesthetic
to be used so you dont feel pain while the
procedure is being done.

Local anaesthesia is often used to help numb the
tooth, but general anaesthesia is sometimes
needed to allow a patient to sleep through this
procedure. This is a good option for those who
are having several wisdom teeth extracted at the
same time.

Before the procedure, your dentists will probably
take some x-rays to get a better look at the
teeth so they can decide on how to remove the
teeth that are causing a problem. Sometimes,
wisdom teeth removal and simply pulling the tooth
works. However, sometimes the tooth must be cut
out and removed in pieces, which can be a bit
more complicated.

After you have the removal done, expect to deal
with some bleeding. In fact, bleeding may occur
for up to 24 hours after the procedure has been
done. Its a good idea to give your dentist a
call if the bleeding lasts more than 24 hours.
