If the dentist observes that the patient has no space in the oral cavity, they should ideally be removed before they appear. Ideally, people should have their wisdom teeth removed when they are young, as older adults may have difficulties or complications.

For this reason, many people prefer to have their wisdom teeth being to cause problems.
Wisdom Teeth Will Become a Thing of The Past
Wisdom teeth are coming out less and less frequently. The jaws of our ancestors were more developed than ours, so they could accommodate these molars without any problems. Studies say that the change to slightly softer teeth has meant that these molars are no longer as necessary as they used to be. And evolution has caused man’s features to soften, which means that there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to develop normally.
On top of that, much research has shown that when young children are given anesthetics for dental care procedures, the lower wisdom teeth often do not erupt. This suggests that the injections may deliberately stop the growth of these molars.

Our Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery
The dentist or oral surgeon is the indicated one to perform this intervention, and it is usually performed in an office or the hospital if the wisdom teeth are at risk of becoming complicated.
The dentist is the one who will decide if and when the surgery should be performed. Once the decision is made, the patient will proceed to the office on the scheduled day. Then the dentist or oral surgeon will proceed to apply a local anesthetic or general anesthesia, depending on how many wisdom teeth are removed at the same time.
General anesthesia will help prevent pain throughout the body, sedating the patient completely. The patient usually should not eat or drink anything the day before the operation, so that he/she will be prepared when the anesthesia is administered.
At the time of surgery, the dentist or oral surgeon will proceed to open the surrounding tissue over the tooth, removing any bone that may cover it. The dentist will separate the tissue that will be connecting the tooth to the bone n order to remove the tooth. If the wisdom tooth is difficult to remove, the oral surgeon will probably cut the tooth into small pieces to facilitate the extraction process.
After the wisdom tooth has been extracted, stitches will be made to close the wound and the dentist will decide if it is necessary to remove them or the stitches, which are usually removed approximately 1 week later, or if they will dissolve with time.
Things To Keep In Mind After The Surgery
It is common that in most cases recovery from wisdom tooth extraction surgery lasts only a couple of days. Each patient responds differently to anesthesia. Most people feel a little discomfort after surgery.
Swelling will last about 3 days and the mouth will usually need a few weeks to fully heal. During the recovery process, a blood clot will form in the socket where the extracted tooth was lodged. The clot should remain in place to protect the nerves and bone.
After two days, the socket will begin to fill with repair tissue, this tissue will form the basis for the growth of new bone tissue. Ideally, the patient should follow the instructions given by the dentist to the letter to promote a quick recovery, among which the following stand out:
- Do not lie down, as this could prolong the bleeding. The ideal is to sleep sitting up or raise the head with pillows.
- Use an ice pack on the outside of the cheek, it should be applied in a maximum time of 20 minutes during the first 24 hours after surgery. You can also use a cloth soaked in warm water for the next 3 days.
- Gently bite the gauze and change it when it fills with blood. If bleeding continues after the first 24 hours, call your dentist.
- Be careful not to bite the inside of the cheek if the anesthesia has not yet worn off.
- Avoid using straws, as they can loosen blood clots and delay recovery.
- Eat soft foods and gradually add solid foods as the healing process progresses.
- Rinse your mouth after the first 24 hours several times a day with salt, this will help the swelling go down.
- You cannot rub the area with your tongue or fingers.
- You may brush your teeth, but very carefully.
