Relief from Pain and Discomfort with Wisdom Teeth Surgery
Wisdom teeth are the most commonly impacted teeth, often causing complications due to a lack of space in the jaw or emerging at an angle. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to swelling, pain, discomfort, stiffness of the jaw, general feelings of being unwell, and infections of the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth.

FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions
Wisdom teeth often need to be removed because they can become impacted due to a lack of space in the jaw or grow at an angle. This can cause pain, infection, and other dental issues.
Signs include pain and swelling around the jaw, difficulty opening your mouth, infection, bad breath, and general discomfort. A dental examination and x-rays can confirm if removal is necessary.
The procedure itself is not painful as it is performed under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia. Some discomfort and swelling are expected after the surgery, but these can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper aftercare.
Recovery time varies, but most people recover within a week to ten days. Following your dentist's aftercare instructions can help ensure a smooth recovery.
Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and soup during the initial recovery period. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that can irritate the surgical site.
Use ice packs on your face to reduce swelling and take prescribed pain medications as directed. Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean and aid in healing.
