Dublin is a city in the East Bay of central California. It has a population of around 70,500 residents and is located within the Amador Valley of Alameda County’s Tri-Valley region. It’s known as the “Crossroads of the Bay Area,” due to its location at the intersection of several major highways. It also features a diverse community, a thriving restaurant and culinary scene, and many different outdoor spaces and parks, including the Dublin Hills Regional Park and Emerald Glen Park.
Wisdom teeth removal is an oral surgery procedure that removes the wisdom teeth from the mouth. But what are wisdom teeth? Also known as third molars, they are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of the top and bottom of the inside of your mouth.
More often than not, these teeth don’t have enough room to grow and can become impacted. This can cause pain, infection, and other dental problems, and is the reason they typically need to be removed. That said, many times, they are removed whether they are causing problems or not, because of the likelihood of the teeth causing problems in the future.
Most patients who have wisdom teeth are good candidates for wisdom tooth removal. That said, it’s most appropriate if you are experiencing intense pain, infection, gum disease, tooth decay, or other damage to the wisdom teeth or the surrounding teeth. If your wisdom teeth are impacted or growing crooked, you are likely a perfect candidate for wisdom tooth extraction.
During your initial consultation with one of our team members, we will determine if this is the right treatment option for you or if it could be combined with other treatments for a full dental rejuvenation.
The wisdom teeth removal procedure will start with the administration of local or general anesthesia, depending on your needs and your comfort levels. From there, your dentist will carefully extract the tooth from the socket using advanced techniques. How many wisdom teeth are removed will depend on your needs and how many have grown through the gums.
Once the wisdom teeth are removed, you will be ready to start the recovery process. Your dentist will provide you with detailed management instructions to ensure proper healing.
To recover, you will need to stick to soft or liquid food for the first few days of your recovery process and avoid drinking through a straw.
Your oral surgeon will also prescribe pain medication to ensure you are comfortable as you heal.
