Dental surgery does not have tooth extraction as its primary goal. Before making such a drastic decision, the doctor considers all possible options for tooth preservation and treatment. But sometimes extraction is the only right choice and in such cases, it is not worth delaying.
The tooth extraction operation itself, despite the frightening name, has long ceased to bring discomfort to patients. This procedure is always carried out under local anesthesia and, depending on the complexity, rarely takes more than 15 minutes. Complications are also not to be feared at all, all you need to do is to follow the dentist’s recommendations for a few days after the extraction.
At City Smile Clinic, the tooth extraction procedure will be even more comfortable, thanks to the comfortable atmosphere and the opportunity to distract yourself by listening to pleasant music or watching interesting videos and favorite shows.
There are a number of indications in which, unfortunately, tooth extraction cannot be avoided:
A tooth must be extracted if its root and crown are destroyed to such an extent that restoration is impossible
When the pulp is seriously inflamed and treatment is ineffective, tooth extraction is recommended
A tooth is extracted if it develops purulent infections or cysts in its area
A tooth with a high degree of mobility caused by loss of supporting structures often requires extraction
A tooth is removed if it interferes with bite alignment, such as an overcompensating tooth or an element that interferes with other teeth
A tooth may be extracted if its improper position causes trauma to the oral mucosa
Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure that can vary in complexity depending on the position of the tooth and the condition of the surrounding tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases sedation or general anesthesia may be required, especially if multiple teeth need to be removed in one session.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth in a row of teeth that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Quite often, though by no means always, it is the wisdom teeth that are the cause of dental problems. And in the case of “problem” wisdom teeth, it is often a question of their removal.
Let’s consider in what situations wisdom teeth extraction is required and what are the peculiarities of this procedure.
Sometimes a wisdom tooth may partially erupt, leaving part of the crown under the gum. This creates ideal conditions for bacteria and food debris to accumulate, which in turn can lead to inflammation of the tissue around the tooth (pericoronaryitis) and the development of decay in hard-to-reach areas.
If a wisdom tooth grows at an angle, it can press on a neighboring tooth, causing it to become damaged or dislocated. In such cases, removing the wisdom tooth can prevent further bite problems and the need for orthodontic treatment.
Wisdom teeth are often the cause of chronic oral infections. Inflammation of the tissue around the tooth can lead to pain, swelling, and even the formation of a purulent abscess. In these situations, dentists recommend tooth extraction to remove the source of the infection.
In some cases, wisdom teeth removal may be recommended before orthodontic treatment to prevent crowding and improve the overall treatment outcome.
Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure that can vary in complexity depending on the position of the tooth and the condition of the surrounding tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases general anesthesia may be required, especially if multiple teeth need to be removed in one session.
Before a wisdom tooth extraction, the dentist performs an examination and radiographs to determine the exact location of the tooth, and its impact on neighboring tissues. This allows you to assess the complexity of the procedure in advance and plan the best approach to extraction.
Depending on the complexity of the case, the extraction procedure can take from 15 minutes to several hours. If the tooth is fully erupted, it is extracted in the usual way. But there are also cases of complicated wisdom tooth extraction
A complex extraction is performed if the wisdom tooth is completely buried in the bone of the jaw, if the roots of the wisdom tooth are intertwined or very deep, if the wisdom tooth is located very close to the nerves, as well as in the case of severe inflammation or infection
A complex wisdom tooth extraction requires an extremely skilled surgeon, the extraction procedure itself takes longer, and may require a longer recovery period.
For the first few days after the procedure, you may experience swelling and discomfort, which can be alleviated with medications prescribed by your dentist. It is also important to follow oral care recommendations to avoid infection
