5 Things You Need to Know When You Get Your Wisdom Tooth Extracted

During our last post “I Badly Want My Wisdom Tooth Removed! What Should I do?” We were still left with a problem whether to proceed with the operation or not. But actually, whether you choose it to be removed all at once or one after the other, there is no way you’ll escape the pain. Thus, what you can do about it is to at least get hold of the things that you can control, know all the things that you need to know and remove all those anxiety that you feel to help yourself to at least lessen the pain of the post-surgery.

So, if you are now ready, here are the things that you should know before the wisdom tooth extraction surgery:



What is a wisdom tooth?

A wisdom tooth is the tooth found furthest in the mouth after your set of chewing teeth. It is usually called the 3rd molar and usually comes out at the age of 18-24 years old.


Do I need my Wisdom Tooth Removed?

You need to get your wisdom tooth checked first by a Makati dentist to diagnose if it needs to be removed but most of the time, it needs to be removed because of the following reasons:

Erosion Cavity

-It is when the wisdom tooth hits the neighboring tooth and causes infection.

Formation of Cysts

-The natural process that occurs is usually the sac is formed before a wisdom tooth erupts and if it does not erupt it will form into cysts.

Crowding

-Occurs when the wisdom tooth pushes hard against other teeth.

Infection

-This case appears when the tooth pushes through the gums and causes infections.


How many wisdom teeth does a person have?

A human being has 2 sets of wisdom teeth, the upper and lower which has two molars each from the both sides of the mouth.
Why do we need a wisdom tooth?

In the early stages of human life, it is said to be that our ancestors are using these set of wisdom tooth to eat raw food like meat. In today’s human consumption, it is rarely used because we only consume cooked and easy to chew food.


How long does it take to remove a wisdom tooth?

Removing a wisdom tooth’s difficulty relies on the case of the tooth remove. If the tooth is impacted or still is under the gums, it is more difficult to remove than the one that is already erupted. But the most difficult to get is the one that hides under the bones.

3 Essential Questions to Ask Your Makati Dentist

(Image Source: http://bit.ly/2Apshec) Many of us view our dental trip in Makati as a stressful experience, so we get it done and over with as quickly as possible. That’s why we fail to ask the right questions to our dentist, and by doing this, we unconsciously put our dental health at risk. So it’s high time we maximize our visit and get to know our dentist by asking essential questions about your oral health. How is My Overall Dental Health? You may ask your dentist to perform general check up to know the condition of your oral health. This includes checking your mouth for lumps, signs of teeth grinding, and other issues in your mouth. He can also check possible side effects of the medicine you’re taking since some drugs can cause dry mouth and increase the risk of getting cavities. Aside from these, oral hygiene is also a good indicator of other possible health concerns in the body. Diabetes, osteoporosis, and vitamin deficiency are some issues that can be detected thru th

Conquer Your Dental Fear: Peeking at a Dentist’s Toolkit

(Image Source: bit.ly/2gKABgg) Are you one who trembles at the sight of a dentist’s tray in a Makati dental clinic ? Does seeing or feeling unknown instruments penetrating your mouth give you an irrational discomfort? We understand your fear, and there’s really nothing to be ashamed of.

One way to overcome such fear is by gaining knowledge of what these instruments are and what they do, which we will be discussing below.

Dental explorer – aka sickle probe or scaler, is a thin, angled hook at the end of a metal stick used to examine the tooth’s surface. This instrument tests the tooth’s hardness and determines the amount of plaque, tartar, and en
