3. Tooth Extraction in Richmond Hill

1. Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Richmond Hill Wisdom Teeth are the last permanent set of teeth that appear around the age of 17 to 25 at the backmost part of your jawbone —also known as the third molar. These latecomers can sometimes be a source of discomfort which is because often they do not find enough space to grow normally and as a result may get stuck at the jawbone and grow at an angle that would pressure the nearby teeth, they might, also, erupt only partially or not erupt at all and get compacted. Overall, these teeth, even if they have enough room to grow, like other normal second molar teeth, are more likely to be decayed or damaged. The reason for this early decay is that reaching the wisdom teeth and brushing them is not easy and most often they will not be completely clean. Therefore, some dental experts suggest that you extract your wisdom tooth to prevent its adverse effects on your oral health and hygiene.

After a comprehensive examination and taking an x-ray of your mouth, your dentist might advise you to extract your wisdom tooth. This procedure, which is mostly done in one session and in the dental clinic or (in some rare cases) in the hospital, involves the use of local anesthesia to numb the area, and sometimes sedation to keep the patient comfortable. Once the area is numb, the surgeon will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the impacted tooth. The tooth is then carefully extracted. Sutures may be used to close the incision. After the procedure, the patient will stay at the dental clinic until the effect of sedatives wears off and can then go back home the same day. Your dentist will advise you to rest and avoid strenuous activities for a few days after the surgery and to use ice packs and over-the-counter pain medications to reduce swelling and discomfort.
