What are wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the teeth at the back of your mouth. They tend to erupt while you are in your late teens or twenties. Some wisdom teeth do not come through fully and get stuck (or impacted) against nearby teeth or bone. This often leaves a flap of gum over your tooth. While for some people they may grow too long (over erupt).
A wisdom tooth may need to be removed for one or more of the following reasons.
- repeated or serious infection of the gum
- tooth decay
- a wisdom tooth can grow out too far and damage the cheek or gum
- your tooth may be in a position that makes it difficult to clean properly
- an orthodontist may need to make space to move other teeth backwards
- you may have a cyst near or around your tooth, or other jaw problems
- an impacted lower wisdom tooth.
Are there any alternatives to removing a wisdom tooth?
Simple painkillers such as paracetamol can help control mild pain caused by wisdom teeth.
Antibiotics and rinsing with hot, salty water or chlorhexidine mouthwash can help when the area around the wisdom tooth is infected.
While both of these may help, neither will completely solve the issue either
How soon will I recover?
The recovery time from a wisdom tooth extraction can vary depending on the ease of the removal.
Some people will recover in a couple of days, while others can take a week.
