Unfortunately, most people experience problems from wisdom teeth; in most cases, this is because the teeth erupt too close to existing permanent teeth, causing crowding, improper bites, and other problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If wisdom teeth are causing a problem and are not pulled, they can sometimes become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can be extremely painful, as well as harmful to your oral health. Symptoms are easy to spot: pain, inflammation, and some kinds of infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people need to have their wisdom teeth extracted to avoid future serious problems. In general, the lack of the four wisdom teeth does not hamper one\u2019s ability to properly bite down, speak or eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may have an impacted wisdom tooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Facial swelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gum swelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post Operative Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is extremely important that patients with extracted teeth do not smoke for 4-5 days after the procedure.&nbsp; In addition, vigorous brushing and rinsing or drinking through a straw are discourage because they hinder the healing and may cause the wound to open. Cold compresses applied to the outside cheek near the extraction area can help reduce any swelling and promote faster healing.&nbsp; Please see our Post Op Instructions for complete directions after surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extractions One of the main goals of modern dentistry is the prevention of tooth loss.&nbsp; However, it is sometimes necessary to extract a tooth.&nbsp; Some of the reasons for tooth extraction are: Tooth extraction procedures are vastly less painful than ever before, thanks to powerful anesthetics and Dr. Mills\u2019 advanced surgical techniques.&nbsp; In many cases,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":14,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"hide","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"southportv2","author_link":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/author\/southportv2\/"},"comment_info":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/285"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":298,"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/285\/revisions\/298"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.indysouthportdental.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
