Wisdom teeth are located at the end of teeth curves and called third
morals, since they positioned after the second morals inside the mouth
of humans. Humans have four wisdom teeth, in which two reside in the
upper curve of teeth and two reside in the lower curve. They do not
have any important role and these grow in mouth after the late 20's of
age. They cause problems in mouth rather than any benefit. Therefore,
dentists suggest eliminating them. In most cases of wisdom teeth
extraction, the blood fills in the socket, made by extraction of
wisdom teeth, gums grow over the vacant socket and solid blood is
exchanged by bone; but in some cases, it does not happen and the
situation is called wisdom teeth dry socket.
When blood will not fill the socket, gums will not develop over the
socket and these sockets would remain open, they will produce pain.
This condition may also cause bad breathe and bad taste. This pain
also affects ears and swelling in lymph nodes. This problem may start
within 3 to 5 days after surgery and continue until one or two
weeks. Wisdom teeth dry socket is called dry because the socket made
by extraction of wisdom tooth remains dry.
Causes of dry socket made by surgery of wisdom tooth, they are
complex surgeries, bleeding, and displacement of blood clot. If
patient smokes, drinks beverages or alcohol, eats hard foods or
forcibly splits something during the precaution period, it can also
result in dry socket condition. For preventing this problem, patients
should follow the precautions given by dentist and regularly meet with
dentist for checkup so that problem cannot increase. Patients should
follow the guidelines of oral surgery, since anything, which makes
replacement of blood clot can prevent the gum to grow in vacant
slot.
There are many treatments for wisdom teeth dry socket. Dentists
suggest that dry sockets should be treated with nutrition and the pain
due to them should be eased with painkillers. Some dentists place the
painkillers in the socket during surgery, but this can also be a
reason of this problem. This process is used very rarely. In some
cases, narcotic medicines are required for relief from pain.
After surgery, if there is any pain in jaws or socket, then
immediately contact the dentist for prescription. Pain in this
trouble is not permanent and last forever after a certain
period. Dentist generally prescribes painkillers in this
situation. The surgery should be completed under the guidance of an
experienced surgeon, since it is a complicated surgery and any minimal
fault may result in huge trouble.
Therefore, this is not a very common problem, only severe cases are
here regarding to this problem. Mostly surgeries for wisdom teeth
have operated successfully without any trouble but, awareness of
precautions by the dentist during the prescribed period is necessary
since it may cause the problem to increase. At last, it is
suggestible to get treatment of your problem under guidance specialist
doctors.
