You may not be able to avoid getting your wisdom teeth pulled, but you can prevent unnecessary pain and irritation following the surgery. One of the most inconvenient dental conditions that develop after a wisdom tooth extraction is dry socket.
The wisdom tooth removal surgery itself is not at all painful. However, there can be some mild pain following the surgery, which is why you should be extra cautious about what you put in your mouth following the surgery. Certain foods and drinks can prolong healing, or even worse, lead to an infection.
Dental crowns are the perfect permanent solution for weak, broken, cracked, or misshapen teeth. Traditionally, dentists use impression material in an impression tray to take a mold of the tooth/teeth that need a crown and the teeth surrounding it.
At Southtowns Dental, we understand that the thought of wisdom tooth extraction surgery can be scary. On the flip-side, we also understand why it is necessary to make proactive decisions now that could prevent your wisdom teeth from causing much larger problems later in life.
Healthy, properly aligned wisdom teeth with room to grow rarely lead to problems. In most cases, wisdom teeth aren’t able to emerge correctly due to a lack of space in the back of the gums. Cramped wisdom teeth will grow in incompletely or crooked. When space completely limits the molars from emerging, they become trapped in your jaw, or impacted.
