WHAT AFFECTS THE RECOVERY PROCESS OF WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL?
1. The dental condition before wisdom teeth removal
The eruption position of tooth number 8 has a great influence on the recovery time after wisdom tooth removal. In the case that tooth number 8 grows and develops normally, the impact on the gums will be reduced, so the recovery time will be faster.

2. Customers’ health conditions
The health condition of each customer is different and that is something that cannot be changed. The health condition has a great influence on the recovery process after the customer has had wisdom teeth removed.
For customers who have good health conditions, the wound at the wisdom tooth after being removed will heal quite quickly. On the contrary, for customers with poor health conditions, the recovery time may take longer.
3. Oral hygiene and care after wisdom teeth removal
After wisdom tooth removal, it will leave small blood clots at the root of the tooth to stop bleeding. After the wisdom tooth is removed for 7 to 10 days, a new mucosal layer will be formed, the reason it appears is to replace the old mucosa, thereby allowing the meat to grow and fill the root of the tooth.
However, both the blood clot and the new mucosa are formed without being too firmly attached, it can be exposed to the connecting tissues when strongly impacted, which will create a feeling of pain and make the recovery process slower.
Therefore, we need to follow the right care regimen and take good care of the teeth in the postoperative period to help the wound in the wisdom tooth areas to recover quickly.
In addition, customers should only move the muscles of the oral cavity gently during the time after wisdom tooth removal.

For minor cases of wisdom tooth removal, the procedure can be very simple the dentist; however, there are also lots of complicated cases requiring the dentist to have good experience in handling unwanted problems. The dentists need to determine the current condition of the customer’s teeth accurately, thereby giving the best treatment.
If the dentist is inexperienced, he may incorrectly perform the wisdom teeth removal procedure. As a result, a poorly qualified dentist can cause bleeding during the surgery, in the worst case, the tooth root may be left after surgery. This is the reason why the wound takes a long time to heal.
