A Dentist for Wisdom Teeth Removal Shares Tips for Post-surgery Care

Wisdom teeth are the last set to erupt in your mouth. Since they are common for persons aged between 17 and 21, wisdom teeth are likely to cause problems because there isn’t enough room for them. These latecomers may pressure other healthy teeth, resulting in pain and shifting. Although you can live a healthy life with wisdom teeth, removing them is always an excellent idea because you never know when they will brew trouble.

Are you looking for an experienced dentist for wisdom teeth removal in Mississauga, Ontario? You are in the right place.

Whether it’s before, during, or after the procedure, we offer gentle dental care to maximize your comfort.

Tips for a speedy recovery after wisdom teeth removal

If you are young or lucky enough not to have been troubled by wisdom teeth, you may not know what an impacted wisdom tooth entails. Impaction occurs when your wisdom tooth becomes trapped underneath the gum line. Instead of growing upwards like other teeth, the wisdom tooth grows at an extreme angle or fails to erupt completely. When this happens, you need surgery to remove the impacted wisdom tooth. 

While careful planning is vital during wisdom tooth surgery, post-surgery care is critical to ensure a speedy, complication-free recovery. Dr. Kotecha shares handy tips to ensure an event-free recovery after wisdom tooth removal.

  • Medication: Like any other surgery, you may experience pain, bruising, and swelling after wisdom tooth extraction, but they are manageable with medication. We usually recommend pain relievers and antibiotics to manage your symptoms. Always take your medication as instructed
  • Rest: Avoid strenuous activities for about five days after surgery to avoid disturbing the surgical site
  • Eat soft foods: When hunger pangs strike, we recommend foods that don’t require much chewing. Consider soup, broth, smoothies, yogurt, etc., to avoid interfering with the clots and stitches
  • Optimal dental care: Observe diligent dental care to avoid infections at the surgical site. However, be careful to avoid dislodging the clots at the surgical site. Brush your teeth as you usually do, but be careful around the wound. Always rinse your mouth with warm, salty water
  • Recognize signs of trouble: Watch out for undesirable symptoms, such as increased pain, fever, continuous bleeding, pus, and increased swelling. If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact our dental team

General Dentistry Testimonial

Hi, before I come to see Doctor Rina and her amazing staff, I was actually someone that had not gone to the dentist for a while because I was so stressed and very worried and anxious about it.
I had been recommended about her from other people and kept in the back of my mind. I finally made the call and from the first call the reception was absolutely amazing and made me feel at home. I let them know right away, I was really anxious. This is when I came in to see the doctor, Doctor Rena was amazing. She went through everything with me. I wouldn’t even smile when I walked in, she noticed I wouldn’t smile. I had had temporary caps on my front teeth for a really, really long time, so she took me through what her options were and it wasn’t good enough that it was just like here’s ABC. She wanted to make sure that we had gone too. A specialist to make sure mines a little bit more, more, issues. Having had root canal treatments on my front teeth and I went ahead, came back and again she sat down with me and gave me all of my options. What’s best for me? What can we do? What can we expect long term? Everyone here is so nice and warm they from the time I walked in for all my appointments they were all. How are you, Paula? How’s everything going? And you just feel like you’re part of a family and made me really feel at ease within a month and a half, She had me smiling like I am now. It was great, my friends, my family, my work people. They all notice exactly just how much more confident I am that I can smile. And honestly, it’s with her and because of the team here. And I found a place I can come back to and now really put my dental health as a priority. So, I definitely recommend her if there’s anything that you’ve left or you just need help on or you’re just looking for a place that you can come and feel comfortable. I definitely say, come to see Doctor Rina.
