Upper wisdom tooth removal is totally different from that of lower wisdom tooth.Extraction of upper wisdom tooth generally takes no more than 10 miniutes. Post-op pain and complications are generally minimal. Patients generally take one or two doses of OTC pain killer. Antibiotics is rarely needed. Swelling is a rare occurence.Your dentist was absolutely right.
I think you need to meet with oral and maxillofacial surgeon or your dentist that can remove (extract) a wisdom tooth, if you are at high risk for complications. Else your doctor may suggest you antibiotics to help heal the infection.
If upper wisdom tooth is single rooted and female patient, removal usually takes within 5 miniutes. If the tooth is multirooted and male patient, it may take 15 -30 miniutes.Post-op pain is minimal, most patients take one dose of pain killer in the evening. No major discomfort is experinced in the following day. Dry socket is an exttremely rare event for upper wisdom tooth removal. Post op antibiotics is rarely needed.
So, as you can see from the attached picture I chipped my wisdom tooth awhile back(Last July I believe).
I don't have the money to get it extracted, and If I get it taken out I might as well have all 4 extracted because they're all pretty bad and might as well do them all at once.
The white spot in the back of the mouth..Not entirely sure what it is. I had strep throat awhile back and I'm afraid that it might have gotten down into my wisdom tooth and never fully went away?
The lower left wisdom tooth is clearly impacted and should be the next tooth to come out; however for the upper two wisdom teeth combined with the already extracted 1st molar would there be a possibility of creating too much empty space to fill through brace-work?
3. The bills are quite hefty for all this work and she has no insurance over there; she would very much prefer to spread the cost out by delaying the braces until late August.
s request to pull out my last wisdom tooth, on the upper right side. It is a baby tooth, and was supposed to cause no problems at all. I had been nervous about doing it since it didn't cause problems, but he said I'm prone to cavities, it's hard to floss back there, and it should be a speedy recovery. The extraction was done under local anesthesia and very quickly. It came out whole and only had one root. The hole was tiny. Also, there was little to no swelling.
A broken jaw from wisdom tooth removal is one of the more rare complications, but its still common enough that we are taught about a fair amount about it in school and how to handle it. Its highly unlikely that anything the oral surgeon did would have caused it (except he took out the tooth), especially 10 days later. The only chance of negligence on his part would be how he handles the situation now. But from what you mentioned, he is doing everything he can.
If it does start causing problems, it could damage the roots of the teeth in front of them, resulting in damage and possible removal of both the wisdom tooth and the tooth in front of it. It just depends on how the infection occurs and where it spreads.
Bone shards can hurt but can also be easily fixed by removing them. They also can fall out on their own if you're patient enough.
You could be having a toothrelated problem ..either diffuculty of a wisdom tooth to erupt in ur mouth or an infectedtooth causing pain. And infection spreading to gum area .. Hope u see a dentist soon because it can even get infected n turn into a bigger swelling and lead to further discomfort n complications .
Today i had surgery for extracting my wisdom tooth, that was in lying position. I started it at the dentists office but suddenly turned out she wasnt capable of doing this surgery as my whole face swelled and air entered inside my chick. I quickly went to the hospital and they helped me and extracted the tooth. In total it took 6 hours, that was horrible. Now everything is ok, but i still feel air under my chick, what would you reccomend?
I thought I had a toothache. So I looked in the mirror and what do you know- I have a wisdom tooth coming in... and there's not enough room for it to come in.
So now it hurts to eat and my inner ear is starting to hurt from all the pressure the tooth is causing.
Does anyone know if you can have your wisdom teeth pulled when pregnant? Or am I going to have to endure this way for 4 more months?
The numbness and tingling could be due to your wisdom tooth. Impacted wisdom tooth can cause TMJ and numbness and tingling of tongue. It could also be related to neck-tongue syndrome. There is upper nuchal (neck) or occipital pain on one side, with or without numbness in these areas. This is accompanied by simultaneous ipsilateral (same side) numbness of the tongue. This numbness is caused by compression of the second cervical root (C2) in the atlantoaxial space. .
It is unfortunate that you have this condition. It is a very well known and documented risk of wisdom tooth removal. It has been studied throughout the world.
No surgery is without risk of complications and the patient should make the decision if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. My patients are always advised of this and other risks before their procedure.
