Tooth Extraction
The presence of damaged teeth in the oral cavity puts our health at serious risk. The possible harm is not only pain and discomfort. A “damaged” tooth also harms neighboring teeth, worsens oral hygiene, and creates a risk of infection spreading. Therefore, tooth extraction is necessary. In fact, the same approach applies to wisdom teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction is often needed for preventive purposes as well – before pain even occurs. At Smile Studio, safe resolution of tooth damage and wisdom tooth problems is possible.
Everything You Need to Know About Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure. How this process proceeds depends on the tooth’s location, the degree of damage, and the patient’s overall health condition. In some cases, anesthesia may be used – for children or those who are very afraid.
Regular Tooth Extraction
This is a simple procedure; local anesthesia is applied only to the area around the tooth. This usually takes 10–20 minutes.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is relatively more complex. Sometimes the tooth is not fully erupted, which causes pain and inflammation. First, anesthesia is administered, then the gum is incised (if the tooth is covered); often it is necessary to divide the tooth into parts and apply stitches. Therefore, the procedure may take from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Wisdom tooth extraction under general anesthesia is possible. This is recommended for people who have a strong fear of the dentist. Anesthesia can also be administered to children. General anesthesia is used during complex surgical cases.
When Should You Visit a Dentist?
Patients with damaged or unnecessary teeth should definitely visit a dentist and resolve this problem. Otherwise, they may face greater risks, and damaged teeth may affect their overall health condition.
