After tooth extraction, it is advisable to consume soft, liquid foods such as porridge, soup, mashed potatoes, eggs, etc., for easy consumption, digestion, and minimal chewing. To boost your body’s immune system, consider supplementing with vitamins and minerals from various fruit juices, smoothies, and shakes. Since the extraction site is sensitive, avoid consuming overly hot, cold, or heavily seasoned foods. Stick to foods with moderate temperatures, especially within the first 24 hours

Typically, you will be prescribed antibiotics after tooth extraction as a preventive measure against infection. In some cases where it is deemed unnecessary, the dentist may prescribe pain medication without antibiotics

In dental surgery, wisdom tooth extraction is merely a procedure. However, in certain cases such as teeth growing at a 90-degree angle, multi-rooted teeth, irregularly positioned roots, or teeth impinging on the jaw nerve, the extraction may be more challenging than a typical wisdom tooth extraction. Extracting these teeth may lead to complications such as swelling, pain, or temporary loss of sensation in the lips and chin. If you are in good health without serious conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular diseases, then a routine wisdom tooth extraction typically does not affect your health or nerves. If you have any underlying medical conditions, it’s essential to inform your dentist beforehand so they can tailor the treatment plan accordingly and provide appropriate attention.

In theory, you can have 1, 2, 3, or even 4 teeth extracted during the same surgical session. However, extracting all four teeth at once can make eating and drinking afterward quite challenging. Therefore, dentists typically advise extracting two teeth on the same left or right side in one session

Wisdom teeth are essentially vestigial molars that persist in the evolutionary process of humans. For individuals with a small jaw, tight lip corners, even if wisdom teeth grow straight, daily cleaning is very difficult as no tool can reach them. Due to inadequate hygiene, food debris accumulation can lead to inflammation and sensory reflex disorders. Moreover, it can affect adjacent teeth and, more seriously, it is a risk factor for jawbone cysts. Another benefit of wisdom tooth extraction as a preventive measure is to limit the pushing force of wisdom teeth on adjacent teeth, gradually causing misalignment in the molar area, which has the least amount of supporting periodontal tissue and the least stable position. Typically, after turning 18, one may suddenly notice crowding, rotation, or misalignment of their previously aligned teeth. Subsequently, additional expenses are incurred for orthodontic treatment. Thus, prevention is better than cure.
