How many are there, must everyone have their wisdom teeth removed and so on. We will attempt to shed more light on wisdom teeth, giving answers to the common questions people have about them including who needs wisdom teeth removal Indianapolis.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, you need to know what wisdom teeth are. They are the last molar teeth to develop in the mouth. Wisdom teeth grow at the end of the jaw bone. They may start to develop from age 16 to mid-twenties. The number of wisdom teeth may vary in individuals but normally there would be 4, that is 2 up and 2 down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people may think it is pointless to have wisdom teeth and they may not be wrong given the diet that we have these days and since the teeth actually come later on in life. Scientists believe that wisdom teeth were important for earlier humans who used to eat raw foods and therefore needed the extra set of molars for grinding and tearing. Now we probably do not need them which is why some people never develop wisdom teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although it is common for wisdom teeth to grow crooked, it does not happen for everyone. Some people are lucky to avoid wisdom teeth removal cost Indianapolis<\/a> as the teeth develop without any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a term used to refer to wisdom tooth that fails to grow straight and is blocked from breaking through the gum line by another tooth. This happens because there is not enough space on the jaw and the tooth ends up pushing against the tooth next to it, causing a lot of discomfort and pain. If this is not addressed, more complications can occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In case of an impacted wisdom tooth<\/a>, the tooth needs to be extracted. The procedure may depend on the development of the tooth. The wisdom teeth Indianapolis<\/a> team will examine the dental scans and decide what procedure to perform. Usually, if the tooth is already visible above the gum, extraction will be easy but if it is stuck under the gum it may be a more complicated procedure but a skilled dentist would have no problem performing it successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid pain and anxiety, the dentist may administer an anaesthetic which will prevent you from feeling the pain. In some situations, the patient may be sedated and will only wake up after the procedure is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dentist will give the patient instructions on how to care for their teeth and the area where the tooth has been removed<\/a>. They may prescribe some pain killers as well as an oral mouth wash to use. The recovery period after wisdom teeth removal Indianapolis<\/a> may vary from person to person. But, in most cases after 2 weeks, the area will heal especially if all the precautions are followed to ensure that the wound heals properly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We look forward to providing families with exceptional care and advanced treatment options.
