Damage to Sensory Nerve:

A primary concern is a nerve within the lower jaw bone that supplies feeling to the lower lip, barbilla, and tongue. This nerve is frequently very close to the roots of the lower wisdom teeth.

Tener los dientes hacia fuera entre las edades de 12 y 18 proporciona generalmente raíces más cortas que el nervio no está tan cerca de las raíces de estos dientes. De vez en cuando, when the teeth are removed, and especially in older patients, the nerve can become injured.

When local anesthesia wears off, you may experience a tingling or numbing sensation in the lower lip, barbilla, or tongue. Should this occur, it is usually temporary and will resolve gradually over a period of weeks or months.

On rare occasions it can result in a permanent alteration of sensation similar to having local anesthesia. Consideramos que debe saber de esta posibilidad antes de consentir a la cirugía.

Comunicación sinusal:

The upper wisdom teeth are situated close to your sinuses, and their removal can result in an opening between your mouth and the sinus. Otra vez, if the teeth are removed at an early age, the root formation is minimal, and this complication is very unlikely.

Sin embargo, if it does occur, it will usually close spontaneously, but we may give you special instructions to follow, such as avoid blowing your nose for two or three days following the surgery. You can wipe your nose, but don’t blow your nose.

If you have to sneeze, you should sneeze with an open mouth into a tissue. Pressure should not be created in the sinus area, which may dislodge the healing blood clot. If you sense this condition occurring after the surgery, please contact the office. Un procedimiento adicional puede ser rara vez necesario para cerrar la abertura.

Dry Sockets:

Dry sockets continue to be the most common problem people experience following dental surgery. They arise due to premature loss of a blood clot in the empty tooth socket. This seems to occur with greater frequency in people who smoke or are taking birth control pills.

While both jaws can be affected, they usually occur in the lower jaw on the third to fifth day. They cause a deep, dull, continuous aching on the affected side(s). Pacientes puede notar el dolor en el oído se irradia hacia abajo hacia la barbilla.

The symptoms frequently begin in the middle of the night, and your pain medication regimen may not help. Treatment can involve changing your prescription. Occasionally it is helpful to place a medicated dressing in the empty tooth socket. This will help decrease the pain and protect the socket from food particles.

La eficacia en el alivio del dolor tiene una duración de 24-48 horas y puede requerir cambios de apósito cada día o dos, for five to seven days. Preparaciones generalmente se quitan cuando han sido libres de dolor 2 a 3 dias.

The dressing doesn’t aid in healing. The only reason to place a dressing is for pain control. If medication is controlling the pain, the socket will heal without a dressing. Following removal of the dressing, un dispositivo de irrigación puede ser proporcionado a ayudarle a mantener las partículas de comida de alojamiento en el sitio de extracción.
