When is tooth extraction necessary?
- in case of illnesses involving pain and extended inflammations, if there is no other solution
- because of the extended inflammation, the surrounding tissues have to be protected, along with the other teeth
- incase the disease is not painful, but the broken, loosened tooth cannot be use for further tooth replacement
- fortunately, most teeth deemed irredeemable by the patient can still be saved
Extracting wisdom teeth
Extracting wisdom teeth represents a special subgroup of extracting teeth. There is often not enough space for wisdom teeth to come out, so a painful and inflamed gum pocket can develop around them. The decay of wisdom teeth is more frequent and they may also push all other teeth in front of them together, which leads to chewing abnormality and accumulated teeth.
Before extracting wisdom teeth, the doctor is informed of the condition of the tooth, and the surrounding anatomical parts by a panorama X-ray.
A wisdom teeth operation may involve a flap establishment or the unification of the scar margins with stitches. Of course, this is completely painless. The benefit of the adequate size of sawing pin is that it can be removed without pain in the end, it almost slips out of its place.
What makes it truly painless?
Painless tooth extraction does not mean the anaesthesis of the tooth to be extracted, nor that of the surrounding area. Before injecting the necessary material, the doctor outs a special, fruit flavoured surface anaesthetic gel onto the place of the injection. After a few minutes, the gum is numb so that the patient does not feel the injection. We use Ultracain DS-Forte anaesthetic injection that contains adrenalin (of course, in case of cardiovascular problems, there are adrenaline fee options). The strength of Ultracain is four times that of traditional, lidocain-based anaesthetics, so it is effective even in the case of an inflammation present.
