Wisdom Tooth Removal Toronto & Markham
Wisdom Tooth:
| The average adult has 32 teeth consisting of 16 teeth on the top arch and 16 teeth on the bottom arch and two arches are meeting on a joint called TMJ. Each tooth in the mouth has a specific name and function. The front teeth which are named incisors, canine and bicuspid teeth, are for grasping and biting food into smaller pieces. The back teeth are used to grind food up into a consistency suitable for swallowing. The back teeth are often called molar teeth. The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth and it could be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in an average mouth. Therefore, there are four back moral teeth that could be removed. These four teeth are also called “Wisdom Teeth”. |  |
| 1) Your dentist might inform you that you don't eat or drink after midnight on the night before surgery 2) Your dentist will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area before removing a wisdom tooth. 3) A general anesthetic prevents pain in the whole body and will cause you to sleep through the surgery and is usually given when you are extracting more than one wisdom tooth. 4) To remove the wisdom tooth, your dentist opens up the gum tissue over the tooth and removes out any bone that is covering the tooth. 5) The dentist will separate the tissue connecting the tooth to the bone. 6) The dentist will remove the tooth and sometimes he/she will cut the tooth into smaller pieces in order to make it easier to remove. 7) You may need some stitches after the removal of your tooth. Many stitches dissolve over time and some have to be removed after a few days. Your dentist will inform you whether your stitches need to be removed or could stay. 8) A folded cotton gauze pad will help stop the bleeding and it is placed on top of the wounded region. |
