people will have no trouble with their wisdom teeth, these teeth are often removed to prevent more serious issues like an abscess. These teeth generally begin to surface in the late teens to early 20s, and many times, they become impacted as they develop, growing sideways into the other teeth or angled forward.<\/p>\n<p>Wisdom teeth may erupt from the gum line or may still be set in the jaw. Teeth that are only partially erupted may present other issues as these teeth are difficult to clean and care for. Extractions are typically handled by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon on an outpatient basis. Most extractions are done as a preventative measure to safeguard against changes in the alignment of the teeth during orthodontics or more serious complications.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e396-22 mb0-0 mb0-3 mb0-7 mb0-9\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e396-23 mb0-h mb0-j mb0-k\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e396-24 mb0-m\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e396-25 mb0-o mb0-q mb0-r mb0-s\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Avoid Stains with Good Oral Hygiene and Smart Habits<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e396-26 mb0-y\"><p>Avoiding stains on the teeth is a lot better than having to remove them. Excellent oral hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing, can help you avoid the majority of stains. Visit the dentist to have your teeth cleaned at least twice a year.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another great way to prevent stained teeth is by avoiding certain foods and drinks or brushing immediately after enjoying them. Examples include red wine, coffee and soda drinks. Tobacco use can quickly and permanently stain teeth and is also bad for your health, so kick the habit as quickly as possible.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e396-27 mb0-0 mb0-3 mb0-7 mb0-8\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e396-28 mb0-h mb0-j mb0-k\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e396-29 mb0-m\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e396-30 mb0-o mb0-q mb0-r mb0-s\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Warning Signs<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div e396-31 mb0-d mb0-e\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e396-32 mb0-o mb0-s mb0-t\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"><b>Dry socket:<\/b> While dry socket will generally heal on its own, consult your dentist to expedite the healing process and to ensure there is no risk of infection.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e396-32 mb0-o mb0-s mb0-t\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"><b>Nerve Injury:<\/b> The lingual and inferior alveolar nerves run near the surgical site and supply sensation and taste to the area.

This will numb the area but will not render the patient unconscious. The tooth will then be lifted using an elevator and removed from the mouth with forceps. The attending dentist will do this process slowly so as not to break the tooth during extraction. This kind of extraction is performed for those whose teeth have already erupted.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e396-49 mb0-m\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e396-50 mb0-o mb0-q mb0-r mb0-s mb0-u\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Surgical Extraction<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e396-51 mb0-y\">During a surgical extraction, the dentist may administer an IV anesthetic, which will render the patient relaxed but conscious. The surgeon will then make an incision to facilitate removal. Often, the tooth will be sectioned to ease the extraction. This type of procedure is done for those whose teeth have not yet erupted or who have complications like large or curved roots.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e396-52 mb0-0 mb0-3 mb0-7 mb0-b\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e396-53 mb0-h mb0-j mb0-k\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e396-54 mb0-m\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e396-55 mb0-o mb0-q mb0-r mb0-s\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Patient Experience<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e396-56 mb0-y\">Your experience with oral surgery will vary based on how complicated the extraction performed is.<\/div><div class=\"x-div e396-57 mb0-d mb0-f\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e396-58 mb0-o mb0-s mb0-t\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">All procedures will begin with a consultation process where you will be shown any issues, current or potential, with your teeth along with a course of action.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline has-graphic e396-58 mb0-o mb0-s mb0-t\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"x-image x-graphic-child x-graphic-image x-graphic-primary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/springtimefamilydentalcare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/dentaltech-check.png\" width=\"21\" height=\"19\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Regardless of the type of anesthetic used, you will experience numbness and possibly difficulty chewing or speaking following your procedure.
