Wisdom teeth are tricky, and it\u2019s really not an easy thing to get these molars out of your jaw. It can be complicated if you are already going through some infections in your mouth. First, the dentist will examine your teeth and then further direct you to an oral surgeon like Nick Rutherford or Jason Savage who will then do the procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is never a good thing to keep them\ninside as it can cause further complications. Wisdom teeth never grow like\nnormal teeth and so can affect the surrounding teeth followed by acute pain at\ntimes. One can take painkillers to avoid the pain but it is never really enough\nbecause it\u2019s not the ultimate solution to the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why\ngo for the procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Wisdom teeth as I mentioned\nearlier, never grow like the rest of the teeth. They grow at the very end of\nthe jaw and in the process, can get stuck inside the jaw bone which can be\nextremely hurtful. <\/li><li>It can be a real mess if\nthey\u2019re growing in the wrong angle. It\u2019s when the real pain triggers and makes\nyou numb from the jaw affecting the adjacent teeth as well. <\/li><li>It is also important because your\nmouth can only capacitate a set number of teeth at once, if it exceeds the\nnumber, it creates pressure to other teeth and it\u2019s not at all good. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The\nprocedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure\u2019s time can vary between 10-60 minutes depending on the case. <g class=\"gr_ gr_9 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"9\" data-gr-id=\"9\">Usually<\/g> the upper wisdom tooth doesn\u2019t take much time for extraction, but the lower one creates more issues because of the structure. One can go through different scenarios when going for the surgery. The most common are <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">pain<\/g>, bleeding, swelling or infection. For all of the aftermath, you\u2019ll be given some intensive care medicines. For whatever the oral surgeon Jason Savage, doctor or team at  Yarra Oral Maxillofacial Surgery has prescribed needs to be followed because sometimes infections can occur after the surgery and for <g class=\"gr_ gr_10 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"10\" data-gr-id=\"10\">that<\/g> you should take all the preventive measure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recovery can take about a week and it\u2019s\nbetter to go off work because the pain might be just too much to focus on work.\nDuring this time, go for a gentle bite while having something to eat as the\nwound is still fresh. Plus if you want to get rid of the numbness, an icepack\nwould be an amazing bet for such times. Until the wound is totally healed, you\nshould also keep away from rubbing the affected area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quickest way to heal the wound might be\nto rinse your mouth with warm saline water. This will lessen the swelling and\nmake the numbness go away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking everything into consideration, it is\nalways the most sensible option to get your wisdom teeth extracted as it will prevent\nyou from any more complications. Yes the procedure might be painful, but in\ncomparison to all the problems that are on stake here, it\u2019s not even close. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wisdom teeth are a set of molars that come into existence at the age of 17-25.
