How Long Does Wisdom Teeth Removal Take: Understanding the Process

Brussels (Brussels Morning) – The wisdom teeth can grow quickly at the back of your gums. However, they are the last teeth that come through. Most patients have four wisdom teeth located in each corner. It is not surprising that wisdom teeth grow inside the gums during the early twenties or late teens. During this time all the other 28 adult teeth are fully grown. There is always a lot of room for wisdom teeth to go properly inside the mouth. As there is a lack of space for new teeth to grow this is why wisdom teeth emerge at a different angle. The removal of wisdom teeth is very common in the UK. It is one of the most common surgical procedures that are carried out on weekly basis.

When You Should Visit A Dentist?

You should have an appointment with the dentist if your wisdom teeth are causing a lot of pain. The doctor will first check your teeth and find out if it needs removal or not. If the doctor feels that your teeth have to be removed, they will carry out an X-ray of your mouth. It helps them get a clear view of the position of your teeth very conveniently. No matter what problem your teeth are facing, it is necessary to look for a dentist.

 You should not waste your time and money on regular dental check-ups instead. The cost of your wisdom teeth removal depends on many factors. You cannot fix a certain budget until and unless the doctor lets you know about your situation. If treatment is required in the hospital the charge will be higher.

How Long Will Wisdom Teeth Removal Take?

Wisdom teeth removal usually takes about 40 to 90 minutes. If you are having four wisdom teeth removed it will not take more than 90 minutes. Sometimes this procedure takes only one hour. However, if the teeth are located in a difficult position, the doctor may take more time to handle it. The price and duration of the surgery will depend on the condition of the patient.

You cannot expect to walk out of the doctor’s office right after the surgery is complete. Once the surgery is complete the dental team will help you wear off the anesthesia. Every person is different when it comes to handling the reaction of anesthesia.

 It may take some time to get up faster for many patients. When you are fully alert your surgical team will monitor you for a few hours. You can return home safely when everything remains under control. They can help give you full instructions when it comes to recovery and pain control. You cannot drive your car until the anesthesia can wear off. However, you may not feel well enough for a day or two.

What Type Of Anesthesia Is Used For Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Your oral surgeon will discuss all the information related to wisdom teeth removal surgery. You need to look for the right anesthesia option before the surgery is scheduled. They will first discuss the risks, benefits, and other options involved. There are three different options when it comes to wisdom teeth removal anesthesia. It includes general Anesthesia, oral sedation, and IV sedation. Most insurance will cover the cost of anesthesia and other details. It is almost impossible for you to go through the procedure without proper anesthesia. If your teeth are stuck inside the bone it can be more difficult to take them out.

How Fast Can You Recover From Wisdom Teeth Removal?

There are two different phases related to wisdom teeth removal. The first phase will last for about 24 hours. While the second phase will lead to the patient sleeping more than usual. When you wake up from the anesthesia it may lead to short-term trauma. This trauma is caused by surgical tooth removal and cannot be avoided in any way. Your oral surgeon will help you control the pain and the patient can rest conveniently and comfortably.

When it comes to the second phase it can last up to three or four days. Many patients remain alert during this time though. However, they cannot resume their daily activities. You must follow all the guidelines that are set by the oral surgeons. They make sure that the surgical wounds are taken care of properly. You must take care of your teeth properly and refrain from getting an infection. It can lead to bleeding especially when the infection persists for a long.
