Stages of Wisdom Teeth Healing

Stages of Wisdom Teeth Healing
2
Out of all the dental surgeries, wisdom teeth
removal is one of the most common one. Wisdom
teeth are large, come out late and that too at
the back corners of the mouth.
3
They can either come through partially or break
through the gums at an angle. So, in case they
cant make enough space to grow into an ideal
position, a person can suffer from pain,
infection and other dental issues.
4
In such situations, to avoid further
complications and distress, dentists generally
recommend wisdom teeth removal. Recovery
from wisdom teeth removal is gradual. There has
to be daily improvement.
5
Normally when the patient is from the age group
of 15 25 years or the third molar roots are 2/3
developed, the recovery timeline is faster. At
times, the surgery might cause swelling and
bruises, delaying the healing time.
6
Furthermore not all wisdom teeth surgeries
require stitches. But when stitches are
unavoidable, the dentists will remove them one
week after the surgery.
7
To be precise, the stages of wisdom teeth healing
can be divided into four major stages
8
1. The First 24 Hours As soon as a wisdom tooth
is extracted, whether in pieces or intact, the
patient will bleed. To put a pause to this, the
dentist will advise biting down a piece of gauze,
so that pressure is built on that area and
clotting takes place soon. 
9
Additionally, a cold compress is needed on the
cheek, near the surgery site. The later step
needs to be repeated to keep swelling and pain at
bay.
10
One should also take care to rinse the mouth with
warm salted water, take rest and not to eat
anything that is hot, crunchy, sugary and fatty. 
 
11
2. Week 1 2 By now opening the mouth wont be
painful and normal eating can be resumed. The
blood clotting will be colonized and replaced by
granulation tissue rich in collagen.
12
The amount of healing that will happen until now
will depend on the size of the wound. Wider and
deeper wisdom teeth removal cut will usually take
a bit more time.
13
As the surgery site will be still tender and
bleeding can take place if accidently poked, care
should be taken not to engage in activities that
can disturb the wound.
14
Week 3  4 Even though there will be a small
indentation in the jawbone, by one month maximum
of the patients are out of danger.
15
During this phase, mesenchymal cells are formed
within the areas granulation tissue, which will
soon change into bone cells followed by bone
tissue formation along the bony walls of the
socket.
16
4. Bone Healing Being the last healing stage
of wisdom teeth removal, now the socket will
start filling up and the hole will become smooth.
As a result, neither it will bleed nor food
particles will be trapped.
