Wisdom tooth has a long history and has been a part of
evolution! To start with, it is the third generation of teeth after milk teeth
and permanent ones. During earlier times such as the Stone Age, they were vital
and much needed since the food during those times was raw and hard to chew.
However, during today’s times, we cook tender and soft food which requires no
special efforts to chew. As a result, we are satisfied with the set of teeth we
have.
Wisdom teeth can act as a
hindrance since first of all, they don’t have enough space to expand and
secondly, they can cause immense pain. Often the day you feel your wisdom tooth
coming out, you are under a lot of pain. This goes on for several days till you
visit a dental clinic or get used to
the pain.
At clinics, an implant dentist can work on your pain
by removing the uncomfortable tooth! Since it already causes pain, to top it
with the pain of tooth extraction would leave you in an unconscious state. That
is why anesthetists administer you a dosage of local anesthesia. This helps in
making your gums numb so that you don’t feel any pain whatsoever during tooth
extraction.
The costs associated with the
same are minimal and not as high as compared to other complicated dental procedures. However, remember
that you should not compromise just looking at the cost since a low jab of
anesthesia in order to save the cost can cause you unbearable pain!
