In cases of impaction, advanced gum disease and tooth decay, teeth may need to be extracted. Some patients may also develop impacted wisdom teeth, which can cause intense pain and need to be removed. This is alleviated by having them removed.
The dentists at Smile4U are well versed at pain free, uncomplicated, extractions including wisdom teeth.
Tooth extractions typically involve the following:
- Before the procedure you may require an x-ray of your teeth.
- Depending on your particular case and the severity of your problem, you may be given a local anaesthetic and relaxants via pre-appointment tablets or happy gas during your appointment to alleviate nerves.
- Smile4U has modern equipment and high standards of infection control to extract teeth with the utmost care and your recovery can be surprisingly quick.
- In the case of wisdom tooth extractions, you may have some swelling after the procedure and discomfort that can be eased with over-the-counter painkillers.
- In cases of advanced gum disease or periodontitis, antibiotics can be considered to reduce the risk of further infection.
