Remove Your Wisdom Teeth to Prevent Oral Complications

The wisdom teeth removal Katy TX procedure will work like other tooth extraction procedures. You can talk to our professional dentists prior to your surgery about the available sedation options. In general, most wisdom teeth removal will be carried out under IV sedation to lower the discomfort for you. Our dentist will start by creating an incision in the gums so that they can have better access to your teeth and bone. Then the bone will be removed carefully to expose the root of the tooth. Once done, based on the complexity of your tooth’s position, it will be cut into different sections. After that, each piece of the tooth, as well as debris, will be removed. 

Then, our professional dentist will properly clean the area and remove all the tooth fragments. Your dentist will administer stitches and make sure that the surgical site is properly closed to facilitate better healing. Gauze will be placed over the place, and this will help in controlling bleeding and the formation of the blood clot. To ensure a faster recovery from the teeth extraction, make sure you are following all the instructions given by your dentist. Besides, for a few days, you may need to use an ice pack to lower the discomfort and properly follow the schedule for prescription pain medication. You should eat soft foods such as oatmeal, yogurt, mashed potatoes, etc., after your wisdom teeth removal in Katy, TX, for a few days.
