Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Merida: When and Why?
Hello Whiteliners! I'm Dr. Guillermo Trujillo, and today I want to solve your doubts 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, often do not have room to erupt properly, which can cause:
Recurrent infections due to bacterial accumulation.
Caries in neighboring molars due to difficulty in cleaning the area.
Asymptomatic cysts that damage the bone.
Dental crowding when 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 guidelines is key:
Soft diet for the first few days.
Avoid vigorous rinsing so as not to dislodge 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!
