Yes, it is done all the time but it does depend on the dentist you are using and how many need to be removed at once. Some wisdom teeth are more difficult to get at and require a general anesthetic. Check with your dental surgeon for more information.

Cataract removal is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort while allowing them to remain awake and alert during the procedure. Local anesthesia reduces pain and discomfort in the eye without the risks associated with general anesthesia, such as longer recovery times and potential complications. Additionally, using local anesthesia allows the surgeon to communicate with the patient, ensuring proper positioning and cooperation during the surgery.

Can you take ibupropren after receiving anesthesia?

Full disclosure: I'm no doctor. Ultimately, you should contact a physician or pharmacist for questions related to drug interactions. Many drug-store pharmacists will answer this kind of question for free if you call them. From personal experience, I would say that it's fine. Let's say you were under anesthesia to get your wisdom teeth taken out, and now you've woken up. The anesthesia was to make you unconscious, whereas the ibuprofen is meant to block pain receptors in your brain. It's perfectly fine to take it in this case. I would be less sure about taking ibuprofen about using a topical anesthesia, such as those used to give stitches or remove skin growths. The ibuprofen probably wouldn't cause a reaction as long as the anesthesia is out of your system.

How long after having wisdom teeth out can you start using peroxide?

It's generally recommended to wait at least 3 to 5 days after wisdom teeth removal before using hydrogen peroxide as a rinse. This allows the initial healing of the extraction sites to take place and reduces the risk of irritation or complications. Always consult with your dentist or oral surgeon for personalized advice based on your specific situation.


Is it possible for patients with more serious case of tooth crowding and crooking to use Invisalign?

Wisdom teeth do not cause crowding and I can prove it. When I was in Dental School we did a study. We took one group of people that had impacted wisdom teeth and graded their front tooth crowding. We then took a second set of people that had normal wisdom teeth in full bite and graded their crowding. We took a third sample that had wisdom teeth removed at a young age (below 16 years) and graded their crowding. We took a forth sample of people congenitally missing all wisdom teeth and graded their crowding. Know what we found? Wisdom teeth had no bearing on crowding of teeth later in life. Those with no wisdom teeth at all had the same incidence of crowding as those with the most severely impacted wisdom teeth. We developed (or perhaps a better term is adopted) the mesial migration theory. The theory is that all human teeth that are not artificially locked into position will tend to move anteriorly (towards the front) throughout life. It is merely coincidence that teeth seem to get more crowded or begin to crowd around the same time as the eruption of wisdom teeth. Yes. Over the past 6 years since my wisdom teeth emerged, by front teeth, particularly on my top row, have overlapped. I have Invisalign now and the treatment duration is about 1 year, although the teeth will have the appearance of straightness in about 6 months. I have just started my Invisalign trays. My front teeth are somewhat crooked and I still have two wisdom teeth reamining. (upper right and lower right). I was convinced that my wisdom teeth would have to be removed before starting Invisalign, but that was not the case. From what I understand, Invisalign can handle a variety of cases and situations. It is definitely worth looking into as I thought I would have to have braces versus the Invisalign. I am 2 months into my Invisalign treatment and all 4 of my wisdom teeth are still impacted and have never caused me any trouble. My orthodontist did not see the need to have them taken out before my treatment. If they start to come through, I will have them out there and then, but not before. The extraction may be unnecessary and painful if they haven't been a concern. Wisdom teeth can stay dormant for may years and may never come through at all in some life times. My Mother had trouble for the first time at 57 years of age! It all depends on the crowding extent of the individual and how much movement there might be to aggravate the wisdom teeth. With the Invisalign treatment, selective teeth are slightly 'shaved' to create room to move, thus not pushing too many teeth back into the mouth. Yes, Invisalign braces will make your teeth straight, although they do not a perfect job under orthodontic rules compared to conventional braces. But your teeth will look much nicer and your crowding will be corrected. Your dentist will most likely recommend you to extract your wisdom teeth before using Invisalign if you are an adult.
