Review of Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction, and Why It Happens More in Winter and Summer

I am Dr. Sohyun Suh, director of Jaegujoodt Dental Clinic, and I like minimally invasive, minimal-incision, non-traumatic extractions.

I usually do not take more than 5 minutes for impacted tooth extractions.

Today, let’s talk about wisdom tooth extraction and the perfect combination called “vacation.”

To the college students reading this,

You’ve worked hard through the semester, dealing with lectures and assignments,

while also putting up with wisdom tooth pain.

Vacation is the perfect time to part ways with a wisdom tooth!

You know that, right?

The ideal timing for rest

People whose wisdom teeth erupt straight are few and far between,

and most are impacted and lying down in the gums.

That is why, unlike extracting another tooth,

it is not just a simple matter.

Sometimes, a few inconveniences can follow after the extraction.

Swelling, mild pain, and having to eat soft, non-irritating foods,

No impromptu drinking plans!

Cramped by exam studying and assignments!

Those kinds of troubles can happen, can’t they?

So instead of during the semester,

this is the best time to resolve it, when your body and mind can recover comfortably and you can melt into bed whenever you want.

Summer vacation vs. winter vacation

Which semester break do you prefer: summer vacation or winter vacation?

During winter vacation,

there is no need to worry about the midsummer heat, and even a cold wind alone can help with swelling(?).

Besides, if you spend your recovery time wrapped up in a warm blanket, don’t you think you’ll get better quickly?

If you peel and eat some tasty tangerines,

you can also take in vitamin C...

and if you have strawberries too,

it feels like you’ll recover quickly :-)

Then what about summer vacation?

In the green, lively summer, at a cute café with the air conditioner on, order a cold glass of iced tea (don’t use a straw),

and let the clinking sound of ice calm your mind.

If you keep a cold ice pack on after the extraction, wouldn’t the heat feel much more manageable(?).

This is not a medical opinion, but when do you think would be better?

Let people around you know about your wisdom tooth extraction plan

No drinking plans for now!!

Even if you don’t have classes and your interactions with friends decrease, there is still always the possibility that a drinking plan will suddenly come up...

That is why it is good to tell people around you in advance, “I’m getting my wisdom tooth pulled!”

Then it won’t be plans without you... but rather, kind friends will buy you porridge, contact you to wish you a quick recovery, and check in on you... right?

In my imagination, that is the kind of scene I picture, but what is it really like?

I don’t have any friends...

Don’t put off wisdom tooth extraction for no reason

At a comfortable time, say a clean goodbye to your wisdom tooth.
