The removal of a wisdom tooth is an incredibly common dental operation, but post-surgery, healing can be uncomfortable and frightening – most famously, as you wake up with a very puffy face. Post-operative swelling following <\/span>wisdom tooth removal<\/span><\/a> is normal and is nothing more than the natural reaction of your body to the surgical trauma. Knowing how it occurs and how to deal with it can make your recovery much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Does Swelling Occur?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The removal of a wisdom tooth has a slight injury on the adjacent soft tissues and bones. In response, your immune system causes fluid and white blood cells to rush to that location to start healing, and that fluid buildup is what makes your face swell when you extract your wisdom teeth. The swelling can also be a lot more severe following a tooth removal procedure in which the dentist has to cut gum or bone in order to get the tooth out completely.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Long Before Swelling Goes Down After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The question that is the most often asked during the recovery is how long before swelling goes down after <\/span>wisdom tooth extraction<\/span><\/a>? In most cases, the swelling reaches its peak approximately 48-72 hours post procedure. Then it starts to subside slowly during the next days. A vast majority of patients report that the swelling in the face following a wisdom tooth removal procedure is greatly reduced by four or five days, but that the swelling is completely cleared in seven to ten days.<\/span><\/p>\n

In wisdom teeth removal, swelling and bruising can be experienced simultaneously, especially when the operation was complicated. The bruising may spread down the neck or jaw and is merely a consequence of accumulation of blood underneath the skin. They are both temporary and have a similar healing schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

Effective Ways to Reduce Swelling<\/b><\/h2>\n

1. Apply Ice Packs Immediately<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the initial 24-48 hours, ice pack or a bag of frozen peas encased in a cloth is placed on the cheek of the outside. Apply it in 20 minutes periods – 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. Cold therapy causes blood vessels to narrow and hence decreases the quantity of fluid that builds up in the tissue and prevents the swelling to an extent.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. After 48 Hours Switch to Warm Compresses<\/b><\/h3>\n

After the first 48 hours are over change cold to warm compresses. The warmth will enhance the circulation and will flush the accumulated fluid leading to the puffy appearance. Apply a warm cloth to your jaw in 20-minute intervals gently to help face swelling to be resolved quicker when wisdom teeth are extracted.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Keep Your Head Elevated<\/b><\/h3>\n

When lying flat the fluid will be more likely to accumulate in the face and jaw. Always remember to keep your head raised up, particularly when you are asleep, this will allow yourself to drain properly and also will lessen the swelling at night. The initial few nights of recovery require an extra pillow or two.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Use Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs<\/b><\/h3>\n

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are over-the-counter like ibuprofen are very effective since the medication treats both pain and inflammation. Take it according to the instructions of your dentist or as directed on the packaging. In case your dentist prescribed more powerful medicine, take it in the manner that it has been given.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Avoid Heat, Alcohol, and Strenuous Activity<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hot foods, beverages, or exercise may aggravate swelling as it raises the flow of blood to the painful region. Eat soft cooler foods, such as yoghurt, smoothies and mashed potatoes. Use no alcohol, which may interfere with curing and react with drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Rinse Gently with Warm Salt Water<\/b><\/h3>\n

Beginning 24 hours of procedure, begin to gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water several times a day. This lowers the bacteria in the mouth, lowers the chances of infection and may help to reduce localised inflammation of the extraction site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although swelling and bruising are the normal effects in wisdom tooth extraction, there are some symptoms that require your dentist to be called. Should the swelling become very severe after the third day or you develop a fever or <\/span>symptoms of pain<\/span><\/a> increase instead of decrease, you might have developed a complication known as dry socket or infection, which should be attended to by a professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most individuals go through wisdom tooth removal without any serious complications with patience and regular treatment. Listen to your body, take the instructions of your dentist on care and give yourself the rest you deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
