Post-extraction inflammation is a common occurrence following wisdom teeth removal. It manifests as swelling in the surrounding tissues and can contribute to discomfort. Managing this inflammation is crucial for promoting optimal healing and reducing post-operative complications. Effective intervention addresses pain management and supports the body’s natural recovery processes.
The reduction of inflammation offers several benefits, including decreased pain, improved oral function (such as easier eating and speaking), and a lower risk of infection. Historically, various methods, ranging from traditional remedies to modern medical interventions, have been employed to address post-operative swelling. Understanding the rationale behind these approaches allows for informed decision-making regarding post-extraction care.
