Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal in St Kilda

Wisdom teeth are the third or final set of molars that grow during the late teens or early 20s. If your teeth are misaligned, they can put pressure on surrounding teeth and crowd the mouth, which makes it difficult for the tooth to erupt. When a wisdom tooth gets impacted due to inadequate space in the mouth, the dentists at Chapel Gate Dental can provide wisdom tooth removal. We will examine your general oral health and take an X-ray to determine the exact condition of your wisdom teeth. Based on our findings, we may recommend removal to avoid uncomfortable symptoms.

Wisdom teeth can cause serious issues and complications, especially when they erupt. Below are some common reasons for requiring wisdom teeth extraction:

Post-Operative Care Instructions

To promote optimal healing after wisdom teeth extraction, you need to follow the instructions given below:

• Don’t disturb the wound, avoid touching the site and chew on the opposite side of your mouth for the first 24 hours
• Don’t smoke, as this can encourage bleeding
• Don’t spit or use a straw, as this can dislodge the blood clot and cause a dry socket
• Use sterile gauze pads to control the bleeding and promote clot development
• Use a cold pack to reduce swelling
• Avoid strenuous activities for a week after the procedure
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours after surgery
• Eat soft foods and avoid hot beverages and spicy foods for a few days after surgery
