At the time of extraction, the wisdom tooth may already be completely erupted (you can see the entire tooth), partially erupted, or totally included (completely covered by the gum). In the case of complete eruption, dentists can use simple extraction. On the other hand, in case of partial eruption or total inclusion, odontectomy is necessary, according to leading wisdom teeth removal Parker providers, both interventions being performed under local anesthesia (odontectomy is an operation consisting in creating surgical access to the completely covered tooth, before its extraction).
If you are
worried about such an intervention, it is good to know that it is one of the
most common dental procedures, which is performed under anesthesia, so you will
feel no pain. In the first hours after surgery, you might feel a slight pain or
discomfort, but it can be alleviated with painkillers and anti-inflammatories,
which, together with an antibiotic, will prevent the development of infections.
The appearance of small swelling or bleeding is normal in the first 2-3 days, but they will vary from one patient to another. After 24 hours, the patient will be able to return to their daily routine.
