Wisdom tooth extraction in Odessa is a surgery that is performed at the Dent-House Clinic. Contrary to popular belief and supported by some dentists, wisdom teeth should not always be pulled. Therefore, if you have problems with your eights or any other teeth, make an appointment at the clinic “Dent-House” in Odessa at a convenient time for you. Often already after the initial consultation, the doctor can offer you different options for solving the problem, and you can find out on the spot how much this or that treatment option costs.
The structure of wisdom teeth differs from other dental units by the number of roots. As a rule, eighth teeth have two or three roots, but sometimes their number can be up to five. Often the roots of wisdom teeth are highly curved, which makes it difficult to treat them.
Dystopia and retinacia are quite common wisdom teeth problems. However, even in this case, it is not always necessary to extract them. A referral for extraction is given if there is chronic traumatisation of the tissues when the jaws are clamped together or if a misaligned tooth interferes with the normal development of other units.
Indications for removal
In what cases can wisdom tooth extraction be recommended? Only in those situations when there is no possibility to carry out their qualitative treatment and restoration. Also if their growth is accompanied by inflammation and painful sensations and when their presence negatively affects the entire dentoalveolar system.
Clinical guidelines for wisdom teeth extraction:
- Dystopia – when a tooth sprouts at an angle and destroys its neighbour;
- A retained tooth that remains in the gum and negatively affects the soft tissues, causing inflammation;
- in case of significant tooth decay and pulpitis;
- in the occurrence of cysts and other purulent diseases.
If the tooth is abnormally developed or significantly damaged, the surgeon must open the gum in order to separate the roots as gently as possible and clean the hole. In some cases, the tooth is not pulled out at once, but previously with the help of special instruments, it is divided into several parts. This is most often the case with retined and dystopian teeth.
Practice shows that about 40% of wisdom teeth are fully or partially retined, i.e. growing at an angle to neighbouring teeth. The most common problem teeth are the eight teeth located on the lower jaw.
The Dent House clinic in Odessa works even with the most complex cases. And in complex cases, the patient can choose to remove problematic units in sleep or extraction with the help of sedation. Thanks to these methods, the patient can get rid of anxiety and fear of intervention, and the doctor gets the opportunity to carry out an effective operation in the most comfortable conditions for work.
Indications for wisdom tooth extraction in a dream
Indications for wisdom tooth removal in sleep can vary:
- An intense fear of dental procedures.
- If the patient has a low pain threshold, sedation allows the procedure to be painless.
- If the wisdom tooth is misaligned, has crooked roots, or is near important anatomical structures, extraction can be difficult and time-consuming. Sedation allows the patient to relax and not feel discomfort.
- If several teeth need to be extracted or additional treatment is required, sedation or sleep will allow all manipulations to be performed in one appointment.
- Some people have a strong gag reflex, which makes dental procedures difficult. Sedation helps to suppress this reflex.
- In children, sedation is used for complex dental procedures that may cause fear and anxiety in the child.
- In patients with certain mental illnesses, sedation may be necessary for dental treatment.
The benefits of sleep removal include no pain, no fear, and no discomfort.
Options for wisdom teeth removal in your sleep
Various medications are used in dentistry to relax and induce medicated sleep.
So-called sedation involves the use of nitrous oxide, a gas which, in a certain concentration, causes the patient to relax. The patient remains conscious.
Some clinics may use an oral solution based on Valium and phenazepam.
More potent drugs are used to induce medically induced sleep. In this case, the patient falls asleep, but his reflexes remain fully intact. These drugs are used for surgical interventions that do not last more than an hour.
Inhalation general anaesthesia is performed using gas, with the patient connected to a ventilator to maintain vital signs. Such anaesthesia is used in large-scale surgical interventions with simultaneous implantation.
Contraindications to sedation
Sedation is a procedure that has relatively few contraindications. They can be divided into two groups:
- Age;
- physiological.
We do not recommend sleep tooth extraction for children under the age of three, or for pregnant women. We recommend postponing this procedure in case of acute infectious diseases, psychiatric and some neurological disorders, as well as in case of individual intolerance to drugs. You can clarify all contraindications and indications for the use of sedation at your appointment at Dent House Clinic.
Extracting a tooth under normal anaesthesia is cheaper than extraction with sedation. You can check the prices for Dent-House services on the relevant page of the website.
