Wisdom Teeth Removal in Montebello, CA

It usually starts as a dull ache at the very back of your jaw. Then it gets harder to open wide, the gum feels swollen, and chewing on that side hurts. Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, and when there is not enough room for them, they often need to come out. At Bello Dental in Montebello, we handle wisdom tooth extraction gently and help you heal with as little discomfort as possible.

Signs Your Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Removed

Wisdom teeth come in between the late teens and the mid twenties. When the jaw does not have space for them, they can become impacted, which means they are stuck under the gum or bone. Watch for these signs:

• Pain or pressure at the back of the mouth
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• Food trapping around a partly erupted tooth
• A tooth growing in at an angle and pushing on its neighbor

Ignoring an impacted wisdom tooth rarely ends well. It can lead to infection, gum disease, decay in the trapped tooth, damage to the tooth beside it, and in some cases a fluid filled sac called a cyst. Removing the tooth early prevents these problems and protects the healthy teeth around it. If you already have severe pain or swelling, our emergency dental care team can see you right away.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Sometimes a wisdom tooth cannot break through the gum because the jaw has no room for it. This is called an impacted tooth, and it is one of the most common reasons people need a wisdom tooth extraction. An impacted tooth may grow sideways, stay trapped under the gum, or press against the molar in front of it. Because it sits below the surface, an impacted tooth extraction takes more care than a simple one. We map the tooth and its roots with images first, then remove it in sections so the nearby bone and teeth stay protected.

How Wisdom Teeth Removal Works

A wisdom tooth extraction is a routine procedure for our team. We begin with an exam and a review of your health history and any medicines you take. We take images to see how the tooth sits in the jaw. During the procedure, your dentist makes a small opening to reach the tooth, removes any bone in the way, and often divides the tooth into pieces so it comes out easily. The area is then cleaned and, if needed, closed with stitches. A gauze pad helps control bleeding and start healing.

Anesthesia Options

We help you stay comfortable with the right level of anesthesia for your case.

• Local anesthesia numbs the area while you stay awake. You may feel light pressure but no pain.
• Sedation anesthesia is given through an IV and lowers your awareness, so you feel relaxed and remember little.
• General anesthesia keeps you fully asleep and is a good fit for anxious patients or harder cases.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Recovery

Most people recover in a few days. Here is what helps.

• Bleeding: a little oozing on the first day is normal. Avoid spitting hard so the blood clot stays in place, and change the gauze as directed.
• Pain: usually mild and managed with over the counter pain relievers. We can prescribe something stronger if you need it.
• Swelling: some puffiness is normal for a day or two. An ice pack on the cheek helps.
• Drinks: sip plenty of water and skip alcohol, soda, and straws, since suction can loosen the clot.
• Food: stick to liquids and soft foods like yogurt for the first day, then add solid food as you feel ready.
• Cleaning: do not brush, floss, or rinse for the first 24 hours, then return to gentle care around the area.

We tell you whether your stitches dissolve on their own or need a quick follow-up visit, and we are here if any questions come up while you heal.

Affordable Wisdom Teeth Removal
