Surgical tooth extraction is applied in conditions where the tissues surrounding the tooth cannot provide the necessary environment for simple tooth extractions. The procedure is carried out by arranging the surrounding tissues.
When is Surgical Tooth Extraction Performed?
Surgical tooth extraction procedures are applied in cases where the tooth is completely or partially embedded in the jawbone. The extraction of this tooth, which remains embedded in the jawbone, is planned when the tooth in question plays a role as a disease agent or when it becomes an obstacle for the treatments that need to be applied in the mouth. Surgical tooth extraction treatments are most commonly applied for the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth and teeth that are broken below the gingival level or severely damaged, also known as complicated tooth extraction.
How Does the Process Proceed After Surgical Tooth Extraction?
Surgical tooth extraction can be performed painlessly under local anesthesia. It is normal to experience minimal pain and edema after the application. However, in the first 24 hours, the healing process can be passed comfortably by applying cold compresses to the area, paying attention to oral care, and using the medicines prescribed by the physician regularly.
