Wisdom Tooth Removal Hyderabad
Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to grow in the mouth. Most people have four wisdom teeth at the back of the mouth — two on the top, two on the bottom. Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt, typically in early adulthood.
Impacted wisdom teeth can result in pain, damage to other teeth and other dental problems. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth may cause no evidence or immediate problems but they may be particularly exposed to disease.
Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth. If you have any infections, surgery will usually be delayed until the infection has cleared up. The dentist may have you take antibiotics to help heal the infection.
The main symptoms that lead to wisdom teeth extraction are:
1. Infection in the mouth
2. Pain
3. Facial swelling
4. Swelling of the gum line in the back of the mouth
Early removal of wisdom tooth can prevent problems. You can avoid the pain and possible damaging effects of an impacted wisdom tooth by having it removed early, before its roots are fully developed. The dentist can monitor the development of your wisdom teeth with x-rays and remove them if it has any problems.
The wisdom teeth extraction procedure usually involves an incision to open the gum, and sometimes a small portion of the bone may need to be removed to provide access for the wisdom teeth removal. The wisdom teeth may also need to be divided into segments so it can be removed safely and easily. Perfect wisdom teeth technique and a lot of experience is a must for these surgical procedures. The incision in the gum may then need to be closed with stitches. The patient is always well monitored during the wisdom teeth removal surgery, and a set of instructions are given and discussed for the post-operation recovery period.

Do Not Disturb the Wound
If you disturb the wound, you may invite irritation, infection and/or bleeding. Chew on the opposite side for the first 24 hours.
Do Not Spit or Suck Through a Straw
This will promote bleeding and may dislodge the blood clot, which could result in a dry socket.
Do Not Smoke for 12 Hours
Smoking will promote bleeding and interfere with healing. So avoid smoking at least for 12 hours after the surgery.
Control of Swelling
After surgery, some swelling is to be expected. This can be controlled through the use of cold packs, which slow the circulation. A cold pack is usually placed at the site of swelling during the first 24 hours in a cycle of 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. After the first 24 hours, it is advisable to rinse with warm saltwater (one teaspoon of salt to eight ounces of warm water) every two hours to promote healing.
Control of Bleeding
If the area is not closed with stitches, a pressure pack made of folded sterile gauze pads will be placed over the socket. It is important that this pack stay in place to control bleeding and to encourage clot formation. The gauze is usually kept in place for 30 minutes. If the bleeding has not stopped once the original pack is removed, place a new gauze pad over the extraction site.
Diet and Nutrition
A soft diet may be prescribed for the patient for a few days following surgery.
Medication for Pain Control
Anti-inflammatory medications such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen are used to control minor discomfort following oral surgery. Stronger analgesics may be prescribed by dentist if the patient is in extreme discomfort.
