Surgical extractions are required when your dentist needs to remove some gum tissue or bone to pull out the damaged teeth and close the area with stitches to heal properly. Offering outstanding services for tooth extraction in Dubai, we make sure that our surgical procedures are all safe and painless.
For cases where the dentist cannot readily pull it out, an X-ray will reveal if there is a need for surgical extraction. Wisdom teeth removal is usually a surgical extraction because such teeth are usually impacted or have not erupted completely from the gum.
Permanent teeth are meant to last your whole lifetime, but at certain times tooth extraction would be necessary. Here are some of the reasons why your teeth must be pulled out:
Before the dental extraction procedure itself, your dentist or oral surgeon will give you local anesthetic to numb the area of the tooth for pulling. If your pain tolerance is low or if some instances require, your dentist may use a strong anesthetic to prevent pain throughout your body. Surgical extractions would require more time and procedure than simple extractions. Once the tooth is pulled, your dentist will place a gauze pad on the area to stop the bleeding. If needed, self-dissolving stitches will also be placed on the socket to close the gum edges on the extraction site.
Before scheduling any surgical procedure, your dentist will take an X-ray of your tooth to get a full view of the case. You must inform your dentist for any medications you are taking including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, or even vitamins. You should speak to him/her if you have certain medical conditions such as congenital heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc. This is important to make sure your health is stable before the tooth removal procedure.
Listed below are some preparation tips you need to consider:
The healing period after a dental extraction usually takes about one to two weeks, where a new bone and gum tissue will grow into the gap. When the healing is complete, the remaining teeth can shift because of the gap. To keep your bite aligned, your dentist may recommend replacing the missing tooth with an implant or fixed bridge.
After your painless tooth extraction procedure, you need to give extra care for yourself so you can recover faster. Here are some tips you must consider:
Dry socket is a dental condition that occurs sometimes after a tooth extraction procedure. It happens when the blood clot that forms over your socket is displaced, causing the exposure of your bones and nerves.
If you feel severe pain for days after your extraction, inform your dentist so appropriate treatment can be applied. A sedative dressing will be placed over the socket for a couple of days to protect the exposed area until a new clot forms.
