Wisdom teeth removal in Dnipro
Experienced specialists
Individual approach
Wisdom teeth are called the outer molars. They are located farthest from the center of the jaw and erupt in an adult. One of the important features of the "eights" is that their eruption is not preceded by milk teeth. Due to the unpreparedness of the gums and the small size of the jaws, the outer molars can erupt incorrectly, creating pressure on the neighboring teeth ("sevens"), as well as on the dentition as a whole.
The eruption of the "eights" is often accompanied by complications in many people. Therefore, the removal of wisdom teeth is one of the most common dental services. The outer molars may protrude from the gums partially or not erupt at all. In this case, their location is often abnormal.
Wisdom tooth removal: when is it necessary?
Indications for the procedure
- Abnormal tooth position.
- Lack of antagonist – “figure eight” on the opposite jaw.
- Partial eruption.
- Pressure on the adjacent molar.
- Gum or cheek injury.
- Purulent inflammation of the gum tissue.
- Deep caries of the “figure eight” or “figure seven.”
- Complicated periodontitis or pulpitis.
- Planned orthodontic treatment (for example, installing braces).
It is advisable to remove wisdom teeth in cases where they grow incorrectly, cause constant pain or other complications. But if they have completely erupted, are correctly positioned, have antagonist teeth on the opposite jaw, do not interfere with neighboring teeth and perform a chewing function, their removal is not necessary. In addition, they can serve as the basis for dental prosthetics.
Performing the operation
The method of removing the extreme molars is selected individually. The determining factor is their location and the degree of eruption. If the tooth has completely erupted and does not cause complications, then it is not necessary to dissect the gum. Basic stages of the procedure:
- Medical diagnostics: oral examination, X-ray or orthopantomogram.
- Anesthesia, usually local – by injection into the gum.
- Tooth extraction.
- Socket treatment.
- Repeated examination within a week.
The procedure becomes more complicated with increased jaw bone density, curvature of the roots, if the tooth is incorrectly positioned or has not erupted. The general course of the operation remains unchanged, but is supplemented by surgical manipulations: gum incision, molar removal (in separate segments), gum suturing and subsequent suture removal.
Recommendations after removing the “eight”
After the procedure is complete:
- Hold the cotton swab that covers the hole for 30 minutes.
- Do not eat, drink or rinse your mouth for 2-3 hours.
- Temporarily give up alcohol and smoking.
- Take medications prescribed by the dentist.
The doctor will provide individual recommendations that are relevant to your case. These may include applying cold compresses to the cheek, refraining from opening your mouth wide to avoid separation of the stitches, etc. Strictly follow his instructions. If you experience any alarming symptoms – heavy bleeding, a significant increase in temperature, increased pain – contact your doctor for an unscheduled consultation.
To relieve pain (which occurs after the anesthetic wears off), you can take analgesics, but only with the doctor’s approval. In the case of a complex operation, the doctor may prescribe antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Contraindications to wisdom teeth removal
Limitations and recommendations for postponing the procedure:
- Recent heart attack or stroke.
- Hypertensive crisis.
- Serious cardiovascular diseases.
- Blood clotting disorders.
- Severe cold, flu and other acute diseases.
It is important to understand that the “eights” are located near the edges of the jaws. And the processes of the trigeminal nerve pass next to their roots. Therefore, wisdom teeth removal requires thorough preliminary diagnosis and the competence of a dentist.
