Eights do not always erupt completely and, therefore, can not always play a physiological role in the oral cavity. Totally or partially stopped eight can be the cause of the formation of pathological changes and if it is a tooth that is functionally unusable or does not have a chance to eject properly, it should be removed.

Recommendations after extraction
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia. After the procedure, it is very important to maintain the hygiene of the place after the extracted wisdom tooth. For two hours, you should not drink or eat anything. Then for 12 hours we do not brush our teeth. In the next few days, we recommend using a brush with soft bristles and avoiding the treatment area. It is important to avoid physical exertion and avoid touching the postoperative area (especially in the first 24 hours).
What to eat after plucking an eight?
The 24 hours following the procedure are crucial. It is then forbidden to drink hot liquids and eat hard foods. It is forbidden to drink alcohol and drinks containing caffeine in the composition.
What about the pain after the removal of the eights?
After each extraction, swelling and pain complaints may appear. What to do in this case? The sore spot can be wrapped with a cold gel compress or a regular compress. Remember not to apply ice directly to the skin of the cheek. We can get frostbite in this way. It is also allowed to take painkillers that are available without a prescription or means issued by a doctor.
