Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the third molars in your mouth and the last permanent teeth to erupt. They typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. For the lucky few, some never develop wisdom teeth, or they erupt normally and cause no issues. For others, they experience what is called impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause a variety of problems in your mouth.

Complications of Impacted Wisdom Teeth

As with any surgical procedure, complications can arise during or after surgery. A common one is a dry socket, which occurs when the blood clot in the socket is dislodged, exposing the bone and nerves. Avoid rinsing or spitting for 24 hours to prevent this, and don’t smoke or drink through a straw. In case of persistent pain or other signs of infection, contact Dr. Milad Saad immediately.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure

The wisdom teeth removal in South Barrington procedure is straightforward and typically performed as an outpatient service.

Anesthesia

Depending on your preference and the complexity of the procedure, we may offer local anesthetics or sedation anesthesia. The anesthesia will ensure you don't feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Extraction

Once the anesthesia has set in, we will extract the tooth. They will make an incision in your gums to expose and remove the tooth in one or several pieces. Extracting the teeth will typically take no more than an hour and, in some cases, may take less than half an hour.

Packing

After removing the tooth, we will put a gauze pack in the extraction site to control the bleeding.

Postoperative Care

After the procedure, your dentist will provide instructions on caring for the extraction site, which usually involves avoiding solid foods, using ice packs to reduce swelling, and rinsing your mouth with salt water.

Why Wisdom Teeth Removal May Be Necessary

  1. Overcrowding: In most cases, wisdom teeth crowd out other teeth, leading to pain or misalignment. Removing them can prevent further damage to your teeth and reduce the risk of oral infections.
  2. Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth occur when the teeth grow at an angle and become trapped in your gums. Overcrowding can cause swelling, pain, and other oral health problems.
  3. Tooth Decay: Wisdom teeth are more susceptible to decay because they are harder to clean, leading to cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

After the Procedure

Your surgeon will provide you with post-operative instructions. You will be advised to eat soft foods for a few days and clean out the extraction site after each meal. A syringe will be provided for you to fill with water and flush out any food particles stuck at the extraction site. This is the best way to prevent alveolar osteitis, also known as a dry socket. Blood clots form when a tooth is removed from a healthy socket, and the healing process begins. Dry sockets happen when the healing process is hindered in some way. You may have developed a dry socket if you notice any extreme pain or sensitivity after your procedure. This condition requires immediate treatment by your dentist.
