A Safe and Secure Tooth Extraction

November 20th, 2013|
Dr Himakshu Vyas

Most of the adults have to experience a wisdom teeth grow though some individuals may have a few or more of them.

The fact is that these sorts of teeth are vestigial molars which we no longer use.

If you have wisdom teeth with no pain or other problems, then you would surely want to remove them to improve your smile and look as well.

However, there are certain instances where the growth of these teeth causes intolerable discomfort and pain and extraction is something that will help you to overcome the problem.

It is always advised to choose the tooth extraction if it seriously required. According to many dental professionals, you are not guaranteed protection against future problems if you undergo the extraction procedure without having no prior pain and discomfort. The early teeth removal can help prevent teeth crowding, says some people. However, unnecessary extraction can leave one susceptible to infection and numbness if a nerve is damaged completely. In case if you have one or more wisdom teeth, which are impacted and include trouble growing straight up, then your dentist will surely recommend that they should be extracted. Plus, any prior infection will first have to clear up before the dental surgery is executed.

A general anesthetic or local anesthetic is given to the patients. When you are under anesthesia, your gum tissues are opened and any bone covering the teeth is removed. The procedure is completed when the teeth are then taken out easily and conveniently. Later on, the tissue is sutured into affected place and a gauze with antiseptics installed over it.

The tooth extraction takes some time to heal. If you are among those who are prone to infections, then doctor may give you antibiotics and your recovery period may be lengthened. In fact, it more depends on aftercare and the health of the patient as well.

Your teeth should be extracted or not will actually depend on a number of factors which dental professionals will look into. Those who have cysts, infections and smaller jaws are not advised to undergo the procedure. Discomfort, pain or swelling during the growth phase may also be a major reason to get an extraction.

Benefits of Using Tooth Extraction

Advantages of using tooth extraction are infinite. Once you opt for the procedure, you are rest assured to less the risk of damage to other teeth and the jawbone.
