Dental Services that Can Address Wisdom Teeth Pain

If you’re experiencing pain from your wisdom teeth, there are dental services that can address the problem. The Smile Space in Sutherland offers a variety of dental services to relieve wisdom teeth pain, including:

Dental Fillings

Dental tooth fillings can be used to fill in the gaps where your wisdom teeth have erupted. This will help to relieve pressure and pain.

The process of how dental fillings are completed:

  • The dentist will first remove the decayed material from the tooth.
  • They will then clean the area and prepare it for the filling.
  • Finally, the filling is polished to blend in with the rest of the tooth.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

A wisdom tooth removal procedure is a type of dental surgery performed to remove one or more wisdom teeth, the four large molar teeth located at the back of your mouth.

The wisdom tooth extraction procedure usually takes place in three steps:

  1. The first step is to numb the area around the tooth.
  2. Once the area is numb, the dentist will make an incision in the gum to expose the wisdom tooth.
  3. The tooth is then removed and the area is stitched up.

After the wisdom tooth extraction, you will likely have some swelling and pain. Your dentist may prescribe counter medications to help you manage the pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Wisdom Teeth Pain

The main sign of wisdom tooth pain is when the wisdom tooth grows in at an angle and pushes against the adjacent teeth. This can cause crowding and discomfort. Other signs include:

  • Swelling around the jaw
  • Pain when opening your mouth
  • Difficulty chewing or biting
  • Infection in the gums
  • Bad taste in your mouth
  • Bad breath

There are several reasons why wisdom teeth may cause pain.

  • Infected wisdom tooth.
    When bacteria has gotten into the tooth and started to cause an infection, it can cause pain, swelling, and irritation. Infections can occur when food particles are trapped between the tooth and gum, or if the tooth is not properly cleaned.

  • Impaction.
    An impacted wisdom tooth is one that cannot erupt through the gum line due to a delay in development. Swelling, discomfort, and even infection are possible symptoms.

  • Cysts.
    Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form around impacted wisdom teeth. While most cysts are benign, they can cause damage to the surrounding teeth and bone.

There are natural home remedies that can manage wisdom tooth pain:

  • Rinse your mouth with warm salt water.
    A mouth rinse of saltwater can help to reduce pain and inflammation.

  • Take over-the-counter pain medication.
    Ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief medications.

  • Apply a cold compress to the outside of your face.
    It will help to numb the area and reduce swelling.

  • Antiseptic mouthwash.
    Rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash. It will help to kill any bacteria that may be causing the pain.

Sometimes, wisdom teeth pain will go away on its own or when you use the natural remedies mentioned above. However, if the pain is severe or there is swelling, you should see a dentist for urgent care. They can determine the cause of the pain and provide you with relief options.

The pain may not go away if you have an infected wisdom tooth. An infected wisdom tooth needs to be checked by an oral health professional. They will likely need to do surgical removal.
