WHAT ARE WISDOM TEETH AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO
GET THEM REMOVED?

• Wisdom tooth are the third set of molars that
  typically emerge in the late teens or early
  twenties. While some people may have enough room
  in their mouth for these extra teeth, others may
  not. In such cases, it is important to get wisdom
  teeth removed as they can cause pain and
  discomfort. In some cases, they can also lead to
  overcrowding and misalignment of the other teeth.
  Wisdom tooth removal surgery is a relatively
  simple procedure that helps to prevent potential
  dental problems in the future.

• TO DO
• Elevate your head Sit in an upright position
  and keep your head above the heart. If you are
  going to take a nap or sleep, use extra pillows
  to keep your head elevated. This helps minimize
  swelling.
• Apply cold compress for the first 24 hours after
  the procedure.
• Apply warm compress This helps alleviate the
  swelling. Apply it for 15 mins and then wait
  again for another 15 minutes before doing hot
  compress. This is usually done on the second day
  after operation.
• Saltwater rinse- you can rinse your mouth warm
  water and salt to get rid of harmful bacteria.
  This is started 24 hours after the procedure.
• Take your prescribed medications given by your
  dentist.

• DONT DO
• Do not use straws do not use straws for the
  first twenty-four hours after surgery. This might
  dislodge the blood clot that has formed in the
  socket.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol this may cause
  the level of pain to increase and will hinder the
  healing process.
• Do not blow your nose This may be hard, but you
  can wipe your nose and if you have to sneeze you
  should sneeze with an open mouth into a tissue.
  This is because we dont want to dislodge the
  healing blood clot that has formed.
