Did you just get rid of your third molar tooth? Don’t worry, you are not the only one to get it removed.  About 90% of people have their third molar or the so called the wisdom tooth removed at some time in their life.  As a matter of fact, Wisdom Teeth Removal in Sydney is a smart move to make.  Most people remove all the four wisdom teeth to prevent dental problems in future because, they find difficult to brush way back there and eventually end up in cavity formation.  Hence, prevention is better than cure!

The Australian Dental Association counsels patients in getting their wisdom teeth removed if there is any active infection in the mouth which causes tooth decay.  An impacted wisdom tooth mutilates the neighbouring teeth too, so it’s better to get it removed. Though this is a minor procedure, understanding what to eat, can lead to a smooth recovery. Try these tasty treats to get a faster relief after wisdom teeth removal.

Ice Cream
If you love to eat ice creams, then this is the time to manipulate yourself with a lot of ice creams.  Make sure that you eat only soft ones and avoid the nutty, crunchy, cones or hard ice creams, as these crunches can make the jaw overwork with small pieces getting stuck in the extraction place.  Consuming ice creams on the first two days post-surgery will soothe the inflammation in the tissues and promote healing.

Soups
Soups are a great soother for the wisdom teeth removal patients.  Though you might be too tired and not feel like consuming soups for the first few days, soups can actually provide you with a plenty of protein.  Take in only warm soup! Never take it in a hot mode.  Soups will help you get a healthy diet after your wisdom teeth surgery.  Avoid, taking in soups which contain chunks of veggies or meat, to avoid exasperating the surgical area.

Apple Sauce
Apple sauce encompasses dietary fibre and vitamins thereby forming a healthy diet.  Since, this is in a puree form it becomes a soft food to eat after a dental procedure. This dish is rich in Vitamin C and fibre.  Very less jaw movement is involved to consume this food.  Hence this is highly recommended.

Smoothies
Smoothie is a delicious and healthy option after a Wisdom tooth removal in Sydney.  But be cautious to remove the seeds, as there are chances that these seeds may impact the surgical area.  Mix yogurt and a few ice cubes to make the smoothie healthy and soothing to the affected part.

What to Avoid
It is very important that you should neither eat/drink anything too hot nor too cold. Stay away from chewy foods.  Avoid crunchy & sharp foods as well.  Spicy foods should also be avoided to escape from irritation on the surgical area.

Say No to sipping!
After your Wisdom Teeth Removal in Sydney, it is very important that you should avoid drinking through a straw or slurping.  This can lead to dry socket.  This situation can happen, if the clot is dislocated.  This situation will end up in serious pain.  So it is better not to slurp & you will feel good.

Wisdom teeth removal is one among the serious surgical procedure; hence pre and post-operative care is very important. A simple wisdom teeth removal can be performed in your dentist’s office but if your wisdom teeth is deeply impacted and requires advanced tool to perform the removal process, then he may refer to an oral surgeon. Here we have provided a whittled list of pre and post-operative instructions to minimise the unnecessary pain and the complications of wisdom teeth infection.

Pre-operative Care
  • Schedule an appointment with your dentist and inquire about the wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney.
  • Patients should be accompanied by a parent or friend to drive them to the appointment and drive back home.
  • Wear loose fitting short sleeve shirt and comfortable clothing.
  • Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth before the surgery.
  • Keep the surgical area neat and clean before the surgery.
  • If you are taking any regular medications, talk to your practitioner and take the medications as prescribed prior to the appointment.
  • Do not eat or drink anything six hours before the surgery.
  • Take your regular medications along with a small sip of water.
  • Remove contact lenses, jewellery and dentures proper to the surgery.

Post-operative Care
  • Apply ice packs on the sides of the face where the surgery was performed to reduce swelling.
  • Place gauze pad on the surgical area as a protective dressing for at least one hour after the surgery. Apply a gentle pressure over it and discard it after an hour.
  • Don’t rinse or touch the surgical area since these actions may cause bleeding by dislodging the blood clot that has formed.
  • Be in complete rest a day after the surgery and resume normal activities only after when you feel comfortable.
  • As soon as you begin to feel the discomfort, take the prescribed pain medications.
  • Don’t stand up suddenly, as this action may cause dizziness. So, sit for at least a minute before standing.
  • If there is excessive bleeding in the surgical, rinse your mouth using salt water and then place a gauze pad over the surgical site and bite it firmly for 30 minutes.
  • You can also bite moist tea bags to reduce excess bleeding.
  • Do not consume extremely hot foods like coffee, soup or sharp foods like pretzels, peanuts, chips, etc. because these foods may dislodge the clot.
  • Post-operative nausea is common and it can be relieved by taking small quantities of a carbonated beverage such as Ginger Ale or Sprite every hour.
  • Rinsing, spitting and brushing should be avoided the day after the surgery and gentle rinsing with mild, warm salt water is encouraged at least 5-6 times a day especially after eating.
  • Two or three days compulsory rest is recommended and you can resume your normal daily activities once you feel comfortable again.

No matter how complicated your wisdom teeth removal surgery is, if you adhere to the above instructions strictly, then you can eliminate the unnecessary pain and other complication after the surgery. To find cheap wisdom teeth removal in Sydney, visit http://www.wisdomteethremovalsydney.com.au/
