To some people, a wisdom tooth removal may be somewhat more traumatic than any other dental procedures they have undergone.
As a result, your dentists at The Glenroy Dental Group have prepared a simple guide on how you can recover from wisdom tooth removal, safely and quickly.
Plan Ahead
On Surgery Day
With the help of sedation or anaesthesia, you should not feel any pain during the procedure. But once the anaesthesia wears off, you will experience some pain and discomfort.
The Next Day
The first 24 hours after the procedure is the most uneasy part in recovering from a wisdom tooth removal.
How to Reduce the Swelling
3 Days Later
After three days the pain and swelling should have subsided. You might find the pain returns occasionally, but the intervals will become longer, and the pain will become less severe. Decrease your pain medication over these three days.
At this stage, you should still refrain from eating solid foods, but you can switch from liquids to a soft food diet, such as yogurt, smoothies, and porridge.
If you have issues with your wisdom teeth, it’s best to visit your dentist right away. Here at The Glenroy Dental Group, we have extensive knowledge of wisdom tooth problems. Following the procedure, we will provide you with detailed home care instructions to avoid any future complications and help you recover safely and quickly.
