Oral surgical procedures at Gaurav & Dental Physiotherapy Hospital, Samastipur focus on the treatment of various diseases, injuries, disorders, and defects in the region of the head, neck, and face, including jaws, and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.
The majority of patients need oral surgery due to impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop in the mouth, and sometimes these teeth emerge from the gum line, but the jaw is not quite large enough to allow room for them.
More often, one or more of these wisdom teeth fail to emerge in proper alignment or fail to fully emerge through the gum line and become entrapped or “impacted” between the jawbone and the gum tissue. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in swelling, pain, and infection of the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth. In addition, impacted wisdom teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth, gums, and bone, and sometimes lead to the formation of cysts or tumors that can destroy sections of the jaw. For this reason, we recommend that our patients have their impacted teeth surgically removed.
It’s not just wisdom teeth that sometimes become impacted and need to be removed. Other teeth, such as cuspids and the bicuspids, can become impacted and cause the same types of problems described with impacted wisdom teeth.
IS TOOTH EXTRACTION A COMMON PROCEDURE?
Yes, it is a common procedure in conditions of crooked teeth and troublesome wisdom teeth, but it is rarely carried out in our other healthy patients. We inculcate good dental habits in our patients, and their regular visits keep their oral health in good condition. We can detect dental problems at an early stage in our patients, thereby saving their teeth.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON REASONS FOR TOOTH EXTRACTION?
- Dental caries
- Wisdom teeth, which are often extracted
- In cases of extra teeth, they have to be extracted to make space for other teeth to come in
- During orthodontic treatment, teeth may need to be extracted to create room for the teeth being moved into place
- People receiving radiation therapy to the head and neck may need to have teeth extracted that fall within the field of radiation
IS TOOTH EXTRACTION PAINFUL?
At Gaurav & Dental Physiotherapy Hospital, Samastipur, we believe in “Prevention is better than cure.” Our regular patients rarely have to undergo this procedure, as we take care of their dental health. Tooth extraction is the last resort. In extreme cases where the procedure is performed, we take special precautions to make the procedure as painless and comfortable as possible. There is a momentary sting from a shot when we give local anesthesia, but after that, the patient won’t feel a thing. Our expert doctors provide safe medication and tips, along with home remedies, to keep the mouth hygienic, safe, and pain-free.
HOW CAN YOU EXPERIENCE A SMOOTH TOOTH EXTRACTION?
You need to cooperate with us to experience a smooth extraction. We will inform you of the procedure beforehand and encourage you to clarify any doubts. If you take time to learn what to expect during tooth extraction, the procedure will go as smoothly as possible. Another important point is to remain calm and not react to every routine sound or sensation, as this can unnecessarily make the procedure more difficult and prolonged.
