Camden Dental Practice Forest and Ray Shares Vital Information About Wisdom Tooth Extraction

London, England -

Forest and Ray, a private dental practice in Camden, Central London, is educating local patients about wisdom teeth removals.

Located at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth are named so because they are the last to erupt, generally in the late teens or mid-twenties. However, sometimes, there may not be enough room for them to grow properly, leading them to become stuck within the jaw. They may also start growing at an angle, pushing against the neighboring molars, and causing pain, swelling, and bite problems.

“Some of the common symptoms associated with an inflamed wisdom tooth includes swelling of the face, pain in the mouth or jaws, and difficulty opening the mouth,” says the spokesperson for the Camden dental practice. “Thankfully, a short 60 to 90-minute treatment is all it takes for wisdom teeth removal. It is a common procedure, and, in most cases, extractions of wisdom teeth do not result in any long-term consequences. If you are in Central London and are facing any of the aforementioned symptoms, give Forest and Ray a call to schedule an appointment.”

The dentist begins the procedure by making an incision in the gum to expose the tooth and bone. Next, the bone that blocks access to the tooth root is removed. The tooth may then be divided into sections if it’s easier to remove in pieces. Once the tooth has been removed, the site of the removed tooth is cleaned of any debris from the tooth or bone. The dentist then proceeds to stitch the wound closed to promote healing, a step that may or may not be necessary. Finally, gauze is placed over the extraction site to control bleeding and to help with the formation of a blood clot.

“Here at Forest and Ray, our team uses local anesthesia with one or more injections near the site of each extraction,” says the spokesperson. “You may feel some pressure and movement during the procedure but you should not feel any pain. If you are still feeling apprehensive, don’t worry. Our experienced dentists have done this for years and won’t start until you are completely at ease. For any further questions, reach out to us and our staff will help put all your concerns to rest.”
