Dental extraction and alveolitis

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the ones that draw more often than any other tooth. Some people naturally have enough space in the mouth to accommodate the eruption of wisdom teeth. People who do not have enough space for extra teeth, impacted wisdom teeth suffer that remain buried under the gums or erupt without being aligned with the other teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth under the gums can cause pain, inflammation and agglomerate or move other teeth by force.

When wisdom teeth – or any other tooth-extracted, can be several complications after surgery, including:

• Infection
• Insensitive nerve damage leaving the lower lip and tongue
• Jaw stiffness
• Alveolitis

What is dry socket?

After extraction a blood clot in the tooth gap is formed, the space where the tooth was, and seal the area and can be cured. The socket is when the blood clot breaks or falls off, exposing the bone and nerves. The first five days or less after the extraction are the most critical, and it is during this time when the risk is highest alveolitis. The socket can be very painful! If you think you have this condition, contact your dentist immediately.

Treatment

Usually, your dentist will rinse the empty space, and will remove any remaining will put gauze to protect the area and reduce pain. The dentist will also prescribe an antibiotic to prevent infection and soothe the discomfort reliever. The dentist can advise you what to eat or drink as how to wash and care for the area of the socket. With proper care and rest, alveolitis should heal between seven and 10 days. Your dentist will probably ask you to arrange a visit later to control how you cure and to see how you are doing.
