Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Mérida: When and Why to Perform Them?
Hello Whiteliners! I am Dr. Guillermo Trujillo, and today I want to answer your questions about wisdom teeth, those teeth that usually appear around the age of 18 (although sometimes they never do!).
Why do they cause problems?
These molars, located at the end of the jaw, frequently do not have space to come out properly, which can cause:
Recurrent infections due to the accumulation of bacteria.
Cavities in neighboring molars due to difficulty in cleaning the area.
Asymptomatic cysts that damage the bone.
Dental crowding by pushing other teeth.
Safe and Necessary Extraction
At Whiteline, we perform this procedure with local anesthesia, minimally invasive techniques (when possible) and oral surgery specialists to avoid complications.
Does it hurt? It is a quick procedure (30-60 minutes), with mild post-operative discomfort that is controlled with medication.
Successful Recovery
Following these instructions is key:
Soft diet the first few days.
Avoid vigorous rinsing to prevent dislodging blood clots.
Gentle hygiene in the operated area.
Local Whiteliners: If you feel pain or inflammation in your wisdom teeth, schedule an evaluation.
International Whiteliners: We offer all-inclusive packages (extraction + follow-up) for dental tourism.
See you soon!
