Removal of tooth
When is it needed to remove the teeth?
- if there are inflammations caused by teeth which are resulting in pain and there are no other possibilities (for example root treatment, root resection) for treatment; furthermore if the inflammation endangers the rest of the teeth;
- the inflammations is to intense that accumulation might be formed
- broken, decayed tooth, which can not be restored, furthermore it can not be built up for implants;
- if the tissues of the teeth (ie, periodontitis) due to periodontal disease (commonly known as gingival) damaged to such an extent that the teeth would move dangerously
In many cases the teeth can be saved for example with root treatment or root resection even if the patient thought earlier that it was not possible.
In such cases we recommend keeping the teeth. Teeth are removed only if they can not be saved.
Removal of wisdom teeth is justified in most of the cases.
Advices - after teeth removal
If you keep these advices the place of teeth removal recovers well. Unfortunately complications might occur. In such cases visit your dentist or dental surgeon and do not try "traditional" medicine.
- After teeth removal take one pain killer.In this way the direct pain after the intervention can be avoided. Probably no further pain killers will be needed.
- After teeth extraction you should not rinse or spit. Otherwise bleeding might start after the haematoma falls from the wound.
- Do not eat until you feel the effect of the anesthetic! Otherwise you can cause sever injuries to yourself.
- You can drink but the common belief saying spirit disinfect is wrong, furthermore it can be dangerous; it can inspire bleeding.
- After tooth extraction pay special attention to your mouth hygiene. If it is feasible, you have to brush your teeth, more often. Mouth disinfecting liquids might help (of course not right after the extraction).
- If the tooth was inflamed it might happen that you get fever. In such cases use the normal antifebriles.
