Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that addresses the issues caused by the emergence of third molars, often known as wisdom teeth. Dr. Brandon Kang offers expert wisdom teeth removal services designed to alleviate pain, prevent dental complications and promote oral health.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop and often do not have enough space to emerge properly. This can lead to several problems:
- Impaction: Teeth that do not fully emerge and become trapped beneath the gum line.
- Misalignment: Teeth that push against other teeth, causing crowding and misalignment.
- Infection and Decay: Partially erupted teeth can be hard to clean, leading to decay and gum disease.
The Procedure
Wisdom teeth removal at our practice is a straightforward procedure that involves:
- Consultation and Imaging: Our oral surgeon and team will evaluate your teeth and use dental imaging to plan the extraction.
- Anesthesia: We offer several anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Extraction: The teeth are carefully removed, and the area is cleaned to prevent infection.Â
Recovery and Care
Following the procedure, patients will receive detailed care instructions to ensure a smooth and swift recovery. Tips for a successful recovery include:
- Rest: Allow your body to heal by avoiding strenuous activity for a few days.
- Pain Management: Use medications as prescribed to manage discomfort.
- Diet: Eat soft foods and gradually reintroduce solid foods as healing progresses.Â
