🦷 Wisdom Teeth — those mysterious giants lurking at the very back of your mouth, usually making their grand debut between 17 and 24 years old. Hidden on both sides of your upper and lower jaws, they hold the potential to be either your best friends or worst enemies.
Most of the time, wisdom teeth arrive quietly, slipping in without a fuss. But when your mouth is too cozy for these newcomers, they can become impacted — trapped beneath your gums or jawbone — turning a simple smile into a source of serious discomfort.
Sometimes, all four wisdom teeth come through like champions, fitting in perfectly without causing a ripple. But often, they sneak in at odd angles or get stuck, fully or partially, beneath the surface — igniting pain, swelling, and all sorts of chaos.
Your dentist will likely suggest removal if you experience any of these red flags:
Don’t ignore the signs — your wisdom teeth might be whispering for help!
⏱️ Most wisdom tooth removals take less than 1 hour. However, in more complex cases—like impacted or oddly positioned teeth—it may take a little longer. Your dental surgeon will let you know if extended time is expected.
If stitches were needed, don’t worry—they’re dissolvable and usually disappear within 7 to 10 days. You’ll be given extra gauze to gently bite down on for around 1 hour—this helps form a protective blood clot in the socket and kick-starts healing.
✅ Instead, stick to soft meals, cold beverages, and yes—ice cream is totally allowed! 🍨
Most people are ready to get back to their routine within 2 to 3 days after the procedure. However, recovery times vary depending on how your body heals. Always follow your dentist’s advice for the best outcome!
