Extraction Of Tooth
- Wisdom teeth can become impacted or grow in sideways, which usually warrants extraction.
- Keep in mind that not all wisdom teeth cause problems when developing. In this case, a person may have slight discomfort as the wisdom teeth are coming in, but when fully in position, the discomfort will disappear.
- Problems arise when there is not enough room for the wisdom tooth to come in and it starts pushing on other teeth.
- Additionally, if the wisdom teeth cannot come in due to crowding, it makes it very easy for food particles to become trapped in between the teeth and infection can occur.
Oral Surgery For Tooth Extraction
When pain is experienced due to impacted tooth, removal is warranted. Tooth extraction is a relatively simple procedure.
Step 1: Process starts with a free consultation, and examination by 5 star review dentist, Dr. Amit Shah. The patient’s mouth is then numbed with a local anesthetic. Depending on a person’s level of anxiety, Dr. Amit Shah decides on a light sedative such as laughing gas, or an oral sedative.
Step 2: In some tooth extractions, a small incision in the gum needs to be made to cut the tooth into smaller pieces for removal. The length of the procedure varies from patient to patient.
Step 3: After excision, patients can experience swelling and discomfort, which usually subsides after a few days.
Tooth Extraction – Frequently Asked Questions
– Directly after surgery, you will be sent home with gauze strips in your mouth where the teeth were extracted. Periodically bite down on the gauze to help heal the wound. If you are still bleeding after 24 hours, give us a call.
– Try icing your cheeks with a general icepack to help with pain and swelling.
– Only eat soft foods such as pudding or soup.
– Do not use a straw for the first 24 hours.
– Rinse your mouth periodically with warm salt water after the first 24 hours. This will help with swelling and will relieve pain.
– Avoid Smoking. This can clot and cause further bleeding.
