Teeth Extractions
Your Aqua Dental team always does everything we can to preserve your natural teeth. However, there are several situations where tooth extraction is necessary or the best option for your oral health. This may include severe tooth decay or damage, overcrowding, gum disease. Our skilled team will thoroughly evaluate your condition and determine if tooth extraction is necessary. We will also discuss with you the best course of action and answer any questions or concerns you may have to make the process as comfortable as possible. You can trust us to provide you with the best possible care and make your tooth extraction procedure as smooth as crystal clear.
Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, and they typically appear in the late teenage years or early twenties. While some people have enough space in their mouth to accommodate these teeth, many people experience problems due to a lack of space or other issues, such as impacted wisdom teeth. If your dentist recommends wisdom tooth extraction, you can expect the procedure to be performed under sedation to ensure your comfort. During the procedure, your Aqua professional will make an incision in your gum tissue, remove any bone that may be blocking the tooth, and carefully extract the tooth. You can expect some swelling and discomfort after the procedure, but we will provide you with thorough instructions for managing any pain and promoting healing.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth are third molars that do not have enough space to emerge normally in the mouth, causing them to become stuck or “impacted.” Impacted wisdom teeth can cause various dental problems, including pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and even the development of cysts or tumors. Some impacted wisdom teeth may cause no symptoms and can be detected only through dental x-rays. In many cases, impacted wisdom teeth require surgical removal to prevent further complications.
Oral Surgery post-operation tips
After any oral surgery, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions we will provide to ensure a smooth recovery. Keep in mind each patient has individual needs that we will address. But here are some general tips:
- Rest and avoid physical activity for the first 24 hours.
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Take any prescribed pain medication as directed.
- Eat soft, cool foods for the first few days.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
- Gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Avoid using straws, as the suction can dislodge the blood clot that forms in the socket and cause a dry socket.
- Attend any follow-up appointments with your dentist or oral surgeon
Remember, following the aftercare instructions is crucial for a successful recovery and optimal healing.
