Question 3

What can go wrong if I don't have my wisdom teeth removed?

Answer

Question 4

What is a dry socket?

Answer

Sometimes after a tooth is taken out things don't heal quite as we'd like them to and need a little bit of help. When a tooth is taken out it leaves a hole where it once was. In most cases a little scab will form and everything will be fine other than some aching for a few days after. If this scab gets dislodged then the bone at the base of the 'socket' becomes irritated and inflamed as it isn't used to being exposed to the mouth and is sensitive (In a similar way to if you pick off a scab on your arm the skin beneath is sensitive). If this happens then we will place a soothing dressing into the socket which promotes healing and relieves pain.
