Wisdom teeth removal (extraction)

Wisdom teeth removal is a tooth extraction procedure that occurs when a dentist or oral surgeon removes one or more of your third molars, which are found at the very back of your mouth.

Wisdom teeth are typically the last adult teeth to emerge and usually appear between the ages of 17 to 25 years old. Because they can cause moderate to severe oral health issues or worsen existing issues, dentists commonly recommend that they be removed.

What is a toothache?
A toothache is pain in or around one or more of your teeth and can range from minor to severe. Some toothaches can be treated at home while others require a dentist’s intervention.

There are different causes of toothaches, but your symptoms and level of experienced pain can vary. Symptoms of a toothache can include:

A dull ache
Sudden, sharp, jabbing pain
Throbbing pain, with or without swelling
Extra sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
Aching or swollen gums
Bad breath
Headaches
Ear pain
Fever and chills
Pain with biting or pressure.

Root canal treatment
Your dentist may recommend a root canal treatment if you have been experiencing severe tooth pain, and the pulp or nerve of your tooth is infected or inflamed. This inflammation can be caused by either dental decay, a cracked or broken tooth, or tooth injury.

Any infected pulp must be removed; otherwise, bacteria will begin to multiply within the pulp chamber, which could lead to an abscess. If an abscess forms, then your tooth may not be salvageable, and you may require an extraction. However, root canal treatments have proven to be highly successful in repairing damaged teeth, with a success rate of 86 to 98%. Most patients will not require follow-up treatment, and after a filling or crown their newly restored tooth can last them a lifetime.

Dental visits for adults

For adults, the recommended frequency for dental check-ups varies. In most studies, however, regular attenders are considered to be those individuals that visit the dentist at least once a year. The frequency at which you visit the dentist will depend on your own oral health needs, and if you are prone to cavities, gum problems, or oral health issues. How quickly one develops stain and dental plaque on their teeth will also vary from person to person, and some individuals may benefit from a more frequent cleaning schedule should their teeth be more prone to staining or calculus build-up.

Dental work & upkeep
When you receive dental work like a filling, crown, or oral surgery, there’s a chance you will need to go back to the dentist for follow-up appointments to ensure your teeth and gums are healing well. This usually involves a quick evaluation by your dentist and also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you have about the recent dental work. Something to note – if you have active periodontal (gum) disease, you may need more frequent appointments to manage this condition. These appointments may occur every 2-6 months.2🦷

Why are regular dentist appointments important?

You consider yourself to have great oral hygiene and regularly brush and floss your teeth to keep your mouth clean. Your excellent oral hygiene habits may lead you to wonder if you still need to visit your dentist on a regular basis. The answer is yes! Even if you take good care of your teeth and gums at home, it’s still important that you regularly visit your dentist who is professionally trained to check for problems you may not see or feel yourself.

The truth is, many dental problems like cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer don’t become visible or cause pain until they are in the more advanced stage, which makes treatment and follow-up all the more extensive. Even if you are healthy today, your risk for dental disease can change over time and can be affected by factors like illness, diet changes, new medication usage, and more. So why risk it?
