Pulled out wisdom teeth? How to prevent dry socket:<\/strong>
\nHealth is wealth is an evergreen slogan, that everybody has to follow and chant in their life.
\nIndeed “Oral health is a reflection of physiological, social, psychological factors that are essential to our quality of life.”
\nTo keep up the oral and physical health, one has to maintain oral hygiene and stay away from oral diseases.
\nPerhaps, in a few cases, though people maintain oral hygiene, unfortunately, they face oral issues.
\nEverybody in their lifetime come across the Wisdom tooth\/teeth or the third molars at different ages.
\nTherefore, It is impossible to escape or prevent the pain of wisdom teeth, even with good oral hygiene.
\n 
\nHere is a brief introduction about wisdom teeth:
\n 
\nWhat is a wisdom tooth?<\/strong>
\nThere are different stages in the development of teeth from childhood to adulthood.
\nThe first set of teeth (milk teeth) develops during the infant age, and the second set that is permanent teeth grows from the age of 6 to adulthood.
\nWisdom teeth erupt in the mouth from 18 – 25 years of age at the backside in each quadrant of the mouth. They are the last permanent teeth to erupt in the mouth.
\n 
\nNeed for tooth extraction:<\/strong>
\nWisdom tooth does not cause any pain or discomfort if it erupts in a comfortable space at the backside of the teeth.
\nIn case, if the wisdom teeth grow in a congested area that objects its eruption, then the wisdom tooth gets impacted and pressurizes the second set of teeth.
\nIt creates a lot of pain or discomfort and a few times damages the neighbouring teeth.
\nIn such cases, the dentist suggests the extraction of wisdom teeth to avoid further dental complications.
\n 
\nAfter pulling out the wisdom teeth, a few people experience a traumatic pain and a helpless condition called “Dry Socket.”
\nThis condition causes unbearable pain. However, treatment is available for this condition.
\n 
\nWhat is Dry socket?<\/strong>
\nAfter the tooth extraction, the bone or nerve in that area gets exposed, and immediately a clot forms to safeguard the exposed area.
\nIf the clot doesn’t form, the extracted area becomes sensitive and prone to infections resulting in a dry socket.
\nImmediate medical assistance is required in such cases to avoid further complications.
\n 
\nHow to Identify if you have a dry socket?<\/strong>
\nCommonly, you will experience a small amount of discomfort or pain after the extraction of wisdom teeth.
\nHowever, if the pain is intense and you observe the pain spread to the ears or get a bad taste in your tongue, they are the symptoms of dry socket.
\nIf you have these symptoms after a wisdom tooth extraction, they are sure to be symptoms of a dry socket.
\nConsult your dentist for confirmation and get the treatment accordingly.
