Complications From Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Sometimes a wisdom tooth can erupt abnormally, leading to partial or full impaction. This can lead to a number of oral health issues, including:
If the teeth erupt sideways, they can put excessive pressure on the neighboring teeth. This can ultimately lead to discomfort, shifting, and bite problems.
Wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean properly, especially if they are impacted. This makes you far more susceptible to tooth decay and periodontal disease.
The upper molars sit close to the maxillary sinus. If the wisdom teeth are problematic, it can cause sinus pain, pressure, and congestion.
Sometimes an infection cyst can form around the roots of a wisdom tooth. Left untreated, this infection can spread to other areas.

View On GooglePreventing Dry Sockets How To Avoid This Painful Side Effect
/
A dry socket occurs when the blood clot covering the treatment area is either dislodged or dissolves too soon, exposing the underlying bone and nerves. This exposure causes intense pain for the patient. You can prevent this painful side effect by following your dentist's aftercare instructions and avoiding actions like drinking through a straw, brushing the extraction site, and eating crunchy foods for the first 24-48 hours following the extraction.
The Side Effects Of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Discomfort
You may feel minor discomfort following your procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication. Any pain post-operation should diminish within a few days.
Swelling
Swelling and bruising are common side effects for the first few days following the extraction. Over-the-counter medication and a cold compress should help reduce any swelling or bruising.
Bleeding
We will give you gauze to take home following your extraction. Switch out this gauze regularly to help aid in blood clot formation.
Bad Taste
A bad taste in your mouth could be a sign of a dry socket. Contact our practice right away if you notice a bad taste or intense pain near the extraction site.
Complications
Contact our dental practice right away if you develop a fever, have intense pain, or you have difficulty swallowing. These side effects could be warning signs of complications. You should also contact us if you have severe pain that does not subside with medication or swelling that worsens after the third or fourth day.
The Cost Of Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Pricing for wisdom teeth removal varies depending on the level of impaction. You will first come in for a consult that includes an $80 panoramic X-ray and a $20 exam fee. Based on this information, our dentist can estimate the cost of your procedure. Keep in mind that sedation will increase the cost of treatment. Our dental practice accepts most insurance plans, and we also offer CareCredit® financing to help break your cost into manageable, monthly payments.
