Wisdom tooth extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure involving the surgical removal of a molar from the alveolus. Wisdom teeth are very capricious and often cause a lot of trouble – they cause pain when erupting, do not grow properly or remain in the gum. In these and other cases, wisdom teeth need to be removed. This can be done quickly and painlessly in a dental clinic. In some cases, treatment under sedation is necessary. Therefore, the price of wisdom tooth extraction depends on the complexity of the procedure.

Some people grow wisdom teeth without any problems or discomfort. However, this is rare rather than a pattern. Teeth that grow in incorrectly way or that remain in the gum can cause bite problems, tooth decay, or other problems. There are indications for surgery such as:

• partial teething;
• of tooth decay;
• misalignment of the tooth;
• purulent inflammation of the gum;
• pressure on the neighbouring molar;
• a fractured tooth root;
• trauma to the gum or cheek;
• deep caries;
• regular pain;
• the absence of an eight on the opposite jaw;
• planned orthodontic treatment (correction of the bite with braces).

The decision to extract a tooth is made by the surgeon after a diagnosis has been made. Most often X-rays are taken, but sometimes a CT scan or orthopantomogram may be required.

When to remove a wisdom tooth

Tooth extraction is only performed when indicated. It can be emergency or planned. The procedure of 8th tooth extraction, the price of which is acceptable for patients, is carried out after preliminary study of radiological studies, under local anaesthesia or sedation.

When you don’t need to have a wisdom tooth extracted

Wisdom teeth don’t always need to be removed. If a tooth:

• properly positioned;
• has fully erupted;
• doesn’t interfere with neighbouring teeth;
• has a chewing function;
• does not cause pain, gum inflammation or other problems;
• has an antagonist tooth on the opposite jaw;
• is needed for a bridge.

It is not recommended to remove it in the listed cases.

Contraindications to wisdom teeth extraction

Wisdom teeth extraction is a complex operation and not everyone can have it done. There are several contraindications. These include:

•  first trimester pregnancy;
• cardiovascular disease;
• a recent heart attack or stroke;
• infectious diseases;
• purulent inflammatory processes;
• radiation therapy;
• mental illness.

Wisdom teeth should not be removed during the exacerbation of chronic diseases. To exclude any contraindications, it is necessary to undergo preliminary tests.

Stages of wisdom tooth extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction can be simple or complex. The first method is used if the tooth is fully erupted. If the eight has not fully erupted, is atypically located or retained, a gum incision is required. Such an operation is called complex.

Tooth extraction takes place in several stages:

1. Diagnosis (often a radiograph or orthopantomogram).
2. Anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia is usually used (a shot is given in the gum). However, it is also possible to have a tooth extraction under sedation. Before using any anaesthesia, an allergy test is carried out. Wisdom teeth removal under sedation provides comfort and reduces stress for the patient. During the procedure, he is in a light sleep and his condition is monitored by an experienced anaesthetist.
3. Removal of the tooth using special instruments. Sometimes it is pulled out all at once, but it may also be necessary to split the tooth into several parts.
4. Treatment of the removal area, suturing if necessary.

After a few days, you should come in for a follow-up appointment with the dentist to evaluate the results of the work and adjust the treatment if necessary.

Upper teeth are thought to be easier to extract because the lower jaw has denser bone tissue.
