Preparing for Wisdom Teeth in the City of Leeds

Friday, January 17th, 2014

3492515_blogJust when you think you have come through the worst that growing up with your teeth has thrown at you- you know, decay and fillings, secondary teeth coming through, braces and the like- BANG, wisdom teeth, and for most people this can be a mare of a time. Wisdom teeth don’t play by any rules; some may come through perfectly normal and can be with you for life, but generally, the modern mouth hasn’t evolved to have enough room for these big boys to come through, and as soon as the teeth get wind of this, they tend to grow in all directions and they may not even show at all- this is especially common with the lower wisdom teeth. This can be excruciatingly painful and the only remedy is to have them taken out. Now if you have this done, you may as well get it over with and get all four taken out at once. This will mean being hospitalised for a few days as it is a very tricky operation and there is a lot of force involved at removing these baddies. You’ll need to look after yourself and be very aware of your oral hygiene during this delicate time, just until the stitches can come out. The only solace here is this is the last serious thing that you and your teeth will naturally have to endure for the rest of your life in the city of Leeds…..he says!

 

Wising up to Wisdom Teeth in Central Leeds

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

So you’ve been through the problems of your secondary teeth coming through- fine. You’ve undergone a few fillings- fine. You’ve even managed to come through the wearing of braces and survived unscathed- brilliant. So now you’re free of any other problems, right? Sadly not, for there is one more hurdle to jump before you can announce to central Leeds that you are proper grown up- wisdom teeth: these will start to come through from around 17 years of age. Now for some people, they will do so without any complications barring a few teething problems, sit perfectly at the back of the mouth and will be with you for life. But wisdom teeth don’t always follow these rules and in some people, they will grow impacted in all directions if there is not enough room to erupt into. The only alternative is to have them removed. Now some dentists will advise you have them all done in one go and get it over with, which will mean you have to go to hospital to have it done because the removal of wisdom teeth is a serious procedure. There is a lot of force required to pull these teeth out and it may involve stitches afterwards. The recovery is also delicate for you are very vulnerable to infection: oral hygiene is very important here and you must be careful how you eat, clean your teeth and ensure you use medicated mouthwashes until the stitches have been removed.
