Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth. Partially erupted wisdom teeth create a gum flap that traps food and bacteria, causing recurrent infection (pericoronitis). Impacted wisdom teeth can damage adjacent molars. Extraction is often the definitive solution.
After Extraction
Some soreness and swelling for 2 - 3 days is normal. Avoid rinsing, spitting, or smoking for 24 hours. Eat soft foods. Salt water rinses from 24 hours post-extraction promote healing.
