What Is Considered Dental Trauma?

The term dental trauma refers to injuries to teeth, lips, gums, tongue, and jawbones. It is usually very painful to suffer soft tissue injuries to the mouth and dental trauma, and they should be treated as soon as possible. There is an outer hard enamel layer on teeth, and the dentine lies between the enamel and pulp. It is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and cells and is the living center of the tooth.

What Instructions Need to Be Followed after Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Immediately following wisdom tooth removal surgery:

A gauze pad is placed over the surgical area and should remain in place for at least half an hour.
Rigorous mouth rinsing or touching the wound area following surgery should be avoided as this may instigate bleeding.
Take the prescribed pain medications as soon as pain begins to set in; this usually coincides with the local anesthetic wearing off.
Place ice packs on the side of the face where surgery was performed as this helps reduce swelling and minimize pain.
