Tooth extraction

Often within 1-3 days after tooth extraction, patients develop varying degrees of severity of edema of the soft tissues bordering the well. The most severe edema is observed when the molars are removed on the lower jaw - for example, retinated or semi-reinforced wisdom teeth, when the face can become largely asymmetric due to swelling of the tissues. And this is only half the trouble - often severe pain and problems with opening the mouth join when an elementary meal turns for a tormented person into real torture. Is it possible to initially prevent the appearance of a pronounced edema and what to do if it nevertheless appeared and acquired an impressive size? Is it possible in such cases to develop dangerous complications and when should I rush to the doctor for help as soon as possible? Let's figure it out ...

Many patients, having learned that a large cyst has formed on their tooth, start to panic - this is what, then, the tooth will have to be removed, and then it’s also necessary to extract the cyst from the jaw and scrape it! And even when the doctor proposes not to remove the tooth, but to make a resection of the root apex with a cyst, this is also often perceived not very positively - after all, you will literally have to cut a piece of bone from the jaw and cut off a piece of tooth with a purulent sac on the root through the hole created with a drill. .

When the crown of the tooth is badly damaged (for example, by caries, or due to trauma), the question often arises of removing the roots of the tooth. It may also happen that a cyst or granuloma formed at the top of the tooth root due to the inflammatory process - in such situations it is sometimes possible to save the tooth from removal by resection of the root apex, or even the entire diseased root has to be amputated. We’ll talk more about what is useful to know about tooth root removal: we’ll see when, in general, root removal is required, what can you expect in the office of a dentist-surgeon and what problems sometimes arise during the procedure ...

When it is no longer possible to save a tooth, it becomes necessary to remove it. It would seem that removing is not a cure, which means that this service should not cost too much. However, not everything is so simple, and in reality, the price for removing “complex” teeth in individual clinics can reach 10–20 thousand rubles (especially when it comes to removing retinated wisdom teeth). Meanwhile, removing any tooth today is practically free. Why is there such a difference and, in general, what factors affect the cost of tooth extraction? Let's figure it out ...

There is always a risk of making a mistake, the consequences of which the patient will inevitably feel either immediately or a little later when he comes home. We will talk about such problematic, unpleasant and dangerous situations that may arise both during the procedure for removing a wisdom tooth and after it ...

After the dental surgeon has removed the tooth, a wound in the gum remains in the patient’s mouth, which sometimes heals for a very long time (not one month). How to rinse it and how to make it drag on faster and not get sick - this question still worries not only patients of the clinics, but even the dentists themselves. The fact is that in modern dentistry, opinions regarding rinsing the mouth after the tooth extraction procedure were divided: diametrically different approaches to solving the same problem appeared - we will consider them further ...

If in the near future you need to remove the upper wisdom tooth, then before visiting the dentist-surgeon you probably already were puzzled by a whole series of questions: how is the removal procedure going, is it painful, is there a danger of complications, what should be most afraid of, what the cost of the service depends on and is there a risk that you will be “shod” by self-serving doctors?
