Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars that typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience pain, discomfort, or even impacted wisdom teeth, which can lead to the need for wisdom tooth extraction
Not everyone needs wisdom teeth removal, but it’s essential to monitor them as they can cause problems if they grow improperly. Common issues include:
If you’re experiencing pain or swelling, or if you’ve been told by your dentist that your wisdom teeth are impacted, it’s time to consider wisdom tooth extraction.
Recovery time after wisdom teeth removal varies, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a week. It’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions on how to care for your mouth after the procedure, including what foods to eat and how to brush your teeth after wisdom tooth extraction.
This procedure involves removing all the pulp in the pulp chamber temporarily for the sake of pain relief. Pulpectomy is typically called for when pulpotomy isn’t an option and all of the tooth’s pulp has become infected, inflamed, and disease-ridden. After removal, the canals are medicated and cleaned.
Sometimes, dentists do pulpectomy on primary or milk teeth. In such cases, the pulp is replaced with resorbable material. This is the recommended course of action for irreversible pulpitis on redicular and coronal pulp as well as primary molars that are abscessed.
