If you have a toothache and need an emergency dentist in Cape Town you can book online at OptiSmile.Indications for Wisdom Teeth Removal [00:03:40] Dr Yudelman explains the signs that indicate a need for wisdom teeth removal, including discomfort, infection risks like pericoronitis, and issues observed in dental X-rays such as impaction and potential cysts.

Dr Yudelman emphasises the importance of preventive removal in some cases to avoid more severe health issues later.Anaesthesia Options for Extraction [00:11:05] This section examines the choice between general and local anaesthesia for wisdom teeth extraction. Dr Yudelman advises that complex cases often benefit from general anaesthesia, particularly for multiple extractions.Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal for Oral Health [00:13:22] Dr Yudelman argues that removing problematic wisdom teeth can improve oral health, especially when they are hard to clean or pose a risk to adjacent teeth.Post-Extraction Expectations [00:15:27] The podcast concludes with Dr Yudelman describing what patients might experience during and after wisdom teeth removal, including pain management and recovery times.Closing Remarks [00:17:47] Eon Engelbrecht concludes the podcast by encouraging listeners to consult their dental professionals and to tune in for future episodes focused on the intersection of dental health and financial planning.These chapters provide listeners with a comprehensive guide to understanding wisdom teeth, their potential issues, and the considerations surrounding their removal.Contact the Best dentist in Cape TownBook your next Dental Checkup with OptiSmileFollow OptiSmile on FacebookDisclaimer: The content provided in this podcast, "Save Your Money Save Your Teeth" on Medical Mondays, is for informational and educational purposes only.
