Wisdom Tooth Removal Leeds
Here at The Tooth Spa Leeds, we understand that experiencing problems with your wisdom teeth are painful and at times can affect your sleep cycle and social life. When you choose to visit the surgery, if we feel that wisdom tooth removal would be the best option for you we will discuss the options available to you in detail, allowing you to make an informative decision.
Wisdom tooth removal shouldn’t be a cause for concern, it is one of the most common surgical procedures to be carried out in the UK. You should only need surgery if you have impacted wisdom teeth that are causing severe pain, usually through the build-up of food and bacteria around the edge of the teeth. A build-up of plaque can lead to:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Periconitis
- Cellulitis
- Abscess
- Cysts
Should you be concerned about any pain you are experiencing with your wisdom teeth it is always best to get it checked out, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with a member of the team at The Tooth Spa Leeds.
How Are Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Here at Tooth Spa Leeds, we aim to make wisdom tooth extraction as easy as possible for all of our patients. Depending how and where the wisdom teeth are situated you will be offered either a local or general anaesthetic. A local anaesthetic will numb the area around the tooth, and although you may feel some pressure just before we remove the tooth, this is just your surgeon widening the tooth socket by moving the tooth back and forth. In some cases a small cut into the gum is necessary and the tooth may need to be broken into smaller pieces.
Should you choose to have general anaesthetic you won’t feel a thing till you come round, and you may need a chaperone to ensure you get home safely post-surgery.
Wisdom Teeth Recovery
If the problem with your wisdom teeth is minor, the recovery won’t take long after a course of antibiotics and pain relief. If you require surgery you may find you experience some swelling and discomfort, both on the inside and outside of the mouth. With some pain relief and saltwater, you should feel normal again pretty soon, although pain can last for up to 2 weeks.
