Get Relief From Wisdom Teeth Pain

Wisdom Teeth Pain
As people grow older, their entire body grows
with them, and they experience different
feelings of pain in all their organs. One of the
weird sensations that they feel is the growth of
their wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last
set of teeth that grow on the gum. They usually
start appearing at the beginning of adulthood,
which is why they are called wisdom teeth, as
a reference to the wise age.

The sensation they bring when they grow can be
smooth or extremely painful to some people,
depending on the anatomy of their gum. Most of
them decide to remove them eventually, as they
do not have any specific purpose or
importance. General Overview about Wisdom
Teeth Wisdom teeth erupt at the back of the
mouth, one on each corner, which makes them four
in total. In some cases, there is room for the
wisdom tooth to grow on the gum, which leads to a
healthy and normal growing process. However, in
other situations, there isnt room for them to
grow, which causes discomfort and pain, due to
their wrong positioning or partial come through.
This case is called impacted wisdom teeth.
They can cause further dental problems such as
the overcrowding of the teeth, or a sort of
infection. Signs that the Wisdom Tooth should
be Extracted Normally, when wisdom teeth grow,
they cause pain and discomfort, and thats okay.
But certain symptoms shouldnt be overlooked, and
they are a definite sign that these teeth need
to be removed.

Infection Pain and irritation when opening the
mouth is a definite symptom for wisdom teeth
removal. As they make their way out to erupt on
the gum, they might cause swelling and
irritation. This sensation means that they are
not well fit in their position, and they should
be removed, to prevent any permanent damage to
the area. Also, many people experience swelling
and pain in the entire mouth and cheeks area,
which tends to become unbearable most of the
time. Some wisdom teeth, as previously mentioned,
grow partially, and when they do, they are
most likely to collect food and plaque. This
condition can lead to the swelling of the gum,
tooth decay, or several infections between the
tooth and the gum. Cysts Odontogenic cysts can
easily form in the mouth area if there is any
inflammation, tooth decay, or a misplaced wisdom
tooth. These cysts are normal sacs filled with
liquid, which might accumulate and cause
infection in the area surrounding the wisdom
tooth. Gum and Jaw Diseases When the wisdom
tooth erupts, it will most likely push away the
nearby teeth, which causes an annoying sensation
in the gum and jaw. It can cause swelling and
difficulty in opening the mouth, which causes
more serious issues. When the gum becomes
swollen and stiff, it is most likely to cause an
infection, which immediately leads to gum disease.

Its symptoms are fever, swollen lymph glands, pus
coming out of the gum, difficulty in swallowing,
and more. Remedies for Wisdom Teeth Pain In the
majority of cases, people tend to remove their
wisdom teeth sometimes even before they erupt
to avoid sensations of pain and discomfort.
However, some remedies can be taken to decrease
the level of pain, but not to fix the whole
situation.
These remedies include Applying an ice pack
Ice reduces inflammation and redness, through its
numbing effect. Holding an ice bag against the
wisdom tooth for several minutes will lead to a
gradual pain easing. Rinsing with salt water
This technique is the most famous tooth pain
healing method. Studies have shown that rinsing
the mouth (teeth and gums) with slightly warm
water and some salt reduces inflammation by
killing harmful bacteria and resulting in
healthy oral hygiene. As previously
mentioned, wisdom teeth are likely to produce
cysts that can be infectious, so a daily rinse
with salt water can keep those cysts
away. Applying organic products Soaking the area
of the wisdom teeth with some organic healthy
products may lead to healthy

gum, such as peppermint, aloe vera, crushed
garlic, turmeric, ginger, cloves, onions, and
others. Each of these products has a soothing
effect on the tooth, which reduces redness
and inflammation and prevents any bacterial
infection. In addition, some essential oils,
like lavender and thyme, leave a soothing effect
on the area. Taking over-the-counter medicine
The most obvious way to relieve the pain is to
take over-the-counter medications, which can
ease the sensation and inflammation. Some
medicines are also taken, such as aspirin, to
relieve all the pains associated with wisdom
teeth. But it should always be noted that these
medications should be consumed in the right
doses, and not more.

Wisdom Teeth Removal When the pain gets
unbearable and hard to handle, and when all the
home remedies fail to alleviate the numbing pain,
a wisdom tooth extraction surgery should take
place. How the procedure goes Wisdom teeth
extraction is a procedure that is done to remove
one of the wisdom teeth or more. Some people ask
to remove them altogether in order to finish
with the process all at once, however, it causes
extreme discomfort and pain. This surgery can be
done at the hospital or the dental clinic. A
dental specialist or surgeon can operate, and it
takes almost 20 minutes or more to finish,
depending on the situation. The patient should
receive local anesthesia, in order to numb the
area of the wisdom tooth. Sometimes the
extraction process goes smooth the dental
surgeon applies pressure on the tooth, and then
it comes out. While at times, it might get more
complicated, where the surgeon might need to
make incisions. As the wisdom teeth are removed,
generally no pain will be felt thanks to the
anesthesia. The surgery might cause some pain,
swelling, and bruising around the gum and cheeks
area. But everything heals with time. The
dentist applies stitches to seal the gum, and
7

• normally these stitches either go away with time
  or are removed by the doctor after one week.
• So, up until one week, some discomfort will be
  felt, and blood clots will develop. However,
  later, soreness and stiffness gradually go away,
  and bruises heal. It is important to note that
  the healing process isnt the same for everyone
  it might vary depending on the situation of each
  patient.
• After removing the wisdom teeth, and for the next
  twenty-four hours, the patient is strictly
  forbidden to consume hot food and beverages,
  drink alcohol, smoke, rinse their mouth, or do
  any physical activity.
• The complications of the procedure
• Wisdom teeth extraction is a surgical procedure
  therefore, it is accompanied by some
  complications, especially if the patient does
  not follow the doctors orders.
• Some risks include
• Infection The area of the extracted tooth might
  get infected, causing redness and swelling. Some
• weird-looking discharge might also be produced
  from the removal site, which requires medical
  attention.
• Dry Socket It also goes by the appellation
  alveolar osteitis, and it happens when blood
  clots dont develop, and therefore the teeth
  dont heal properly. This condition causes
  extreme pain and exposes the

8

• bone under the extraction site, which makes it
  prone to bacteria and more infections. A patient
  suffers from dry socket mainly if they smoke
  after the procedure, or if they dont follow the
  dentists instruction about the type of food
  that should be consumed.
• Nerve Injury When removing the wisdom tooth,
  sometimes the trigeminal nerve gets affected,
  causing pain and numbness in the entire area
  (mouth, tongues, and chin). This condition might
  be fixable if the nerve wasnt severely damaged.
  However, if it were extremely impacted, then it
  could be permanent, which would affect the
  entire lifestyle of the patient.
