disimpaction

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth? 1. Impaction: Wisdom teeth often don't have enough space to grow in properly, leading to impaction, pain, and potential infection. 2. Crowding: Wisdom teeth can push against adjacent teeth, causing crowding and orthodontic issues. 3. Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, leading to infection and gum disease. 4. Damage: Impacted wisdom teeth can damage adjacent teeth or surrounding bone. Procedure 1. Consultation: A dentist or oral surgeon evaluates the wisdom teeth and recommends removal if necessary. 2. Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. 3. Surgery: The dentist or oral surgeon makes an incision in the gum tissue, removes any bone covering the tooth, and extracts the wisdom tooth. 4. Recovery: The surgical site is closed, and the patient is monitored for bleeding and discomfort. Recovery 1. Pain management: Patients may experience pain, swelling, and bruising, managed with pain medication and ice packs. 2. Rest: Patients are advised to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and follow a soft-food diet. 3. Follow-up: Patients should follow post-operative instructions and attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. Complications 1. Dry socket: A painful condition that occurs when the blood clot is dislodged. 2. Infection: Bacterial infection can occur if the surgical site is not properly cared for. 3. Nerve damage: Temporary or permanent nerve damage can cause numbness or tingling.
