What is tooth extraction?

Teeth that do not respond to treatment methods and cannot be saved by filling and root canal treatments as a result of caries and inflammation may require extraction due to trauma and impacted wisdom teeth due to lack of space in orthodontic treatment.

What is a wisdom tooth?

It is our third molar tooth, which usually lasts in the twenties. Depending on the narrowness of space in the jaw, bone density, and direction of eruption, it may be semi-buried or fully buried in the mouth.

In cases where a part of the tooth is covered with gingiva, infection and facial swelling are common. Not every wisdom tooth may need to be extracted. If it is completely in the mouth, can be cleaned easily and does not cause the patient to bite his cheek or tongue involuntarily, they do not need to be extracted.

Things to consider before tooth extraction

Systemic general discomfort (for example, heart, diabetes, high blood pressure) and the drugs used should be reported to the physician completely. You should be full before tooth extraction. Teeth should be brushed and rinsed with an antiseptic mouthwash. Thus, the risk of inflammation after extraction is reduced.

Things to consider after tooth extraction

The gauze placed in the mouth should be kept in the mouth for 1 hour without moving. Swallowing should be continued after extraction. Shaking, spitting and gargling should not be done. Continuous spitting prevents the formation of blood clots and bleeding continues, and healing is adversely affected. At the end of 1 hour, the gauze is removed, and if the bleeding continues, a new gauze is placed on the wound. Teeth can be brushed in the first 24 hours, except for the wound area. On the 2nd day, all areas can be brushed softly. for 24 hours care should be taken not to use very hot foods, alcohol-cigarettes, acidic beverages. There is usually pain after shooting. Apart from aspirin, painkillers recommended by the doctor should be taken. If a surgical extraction was performed, ice can be applied to the extraction site intermittently. If sutures are placed during the surgical intervention, they are usually removed within 7-10 days.
