The wisdom teeth, known in the dental industry as the third molars, are prone to complications. These are the last teeth to erupt in the smile and often become impacted due to lack of room. This can result in pain that requires the removal of the wisdom tooth. If you are seeking a dentist “near me” in the Mississauga, Ontario area who offers wisdom tooth removal, connect with our team at Huron Dental Centre!

What can I expect after wisdom tooth removal?

If you have had one or more wisdom teeth removed, you may want to ask your provider about aftercare instructions to reduce the risk of pain and complications. Below are a few recommendations from our team for taking care of the smile following this procedure:

• Take pain medications as prescribed and follow instructions for ice or heat therapy.
• Maintain a soft food diet for several days following the surgery. Avoid hot beverages and foods, and do not suck through straws.
• Rinse with warm salt water to help reduce swelling. This can be done gently after each meal in the first 24-48 hours post-procedure.
• Be gentle when brushing your teeth. Use an extra soft toothbrush until the area has healed completely.
• Do not smoke during recovery! Smoking can interfere with healing by reducing blood flow to the area and increasing the risk of infection.  
• Make sure to attend any follow-up appointments so Dr. Jameela Jifri and her team at Huron Dental Centre can check on your progress.
• If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our team. We are here to help make sure your recovery goes smoothly.
