Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25 and are the third and the last set of molars. Very often, wisdom teeth can create discomfort due to the lack of space to grow fully at the back of your mouth. These teeth can become impacted or crooked leading to swelling, pain and even tooth decay. In many such cases, your only option might be tooth extraction. Rely on Dr. Dipti’s Smile Suite Clinic, for safe Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Faridabad in a comfortable setting.
Simple and Complex Teeth Extractions
Tooth extraction is usually the last resort to manage a dental problem. Indications of tooth extractions are tooth decay involving crown and root portion of the tooth beyond the scope of restoration, severe mobility of tooth due to gum disease, vertical fractures of the tooth, non-healing periapical infections after Oral Surgery. Extractions are carefully done by our experienced oral surgeon in a safe and sterile modern surgery.
Apicoectomy
Sometimes, non-surgical Oral Surgery is not sufficient to save your tooth. Your endodontist will recommend a root end surgery called an apicoectomy. It is often performed when the infection or inflammation persists after an RCT. During the procedure, the surgeon will remove the infected tip of the root and do a backfill restoration.
Management of Impacted Canines
Canines are the cornerstone of your mouth. Canines are the pointed, long teeth that are situated on either side of your incisors on the upper and lower jaw. They have the longest roots of any teeth and play a significant role in biting food. When canines are impacted, it means that the tooth is stuck and is unable to come out. As these teeth are important for chewing, exposure and guiding this tooth into eruption is an option that would be considered. This challenging procedure requires the skills of both an orthodontist and an oral surgeon. Our vastly experienced team of maxillofacial and oral surgeons and orthodontists can expertly manage this procedure and guide you through the care needed.
Management of Oral Pathological Lesions
Small lumps or bumps in your mouth may be a cause of concern for you. Some of them may disappear over time, some may persist.
For eg: Mucoceles- are painless, asymptomatic swellings that occur inside your mouth especially on the lips due to minor trauma. Some may go away on their own. The ones that grow or are persistent even after 7 days will require medical or surgical management.
Brush after eating and before bedtime around the crown with a soft toothbrush, especially where the crown meets the gum line. At the gum line harmful bacteria can be harbored to cause decay and gum disease.
- Floss at least once to twice a day. Use the proxy brush or floss threader to remove plaque under and around these areas to maintain good oral hygiene. Buildup of food debris and plaque on your teeth and gums can become infected.
- Rinse with fluoride rinse before bed. Swish the fluoride rinse vigorously in your mouth for at least one minute. Do not swallow any of the rinse and do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes
- Be careful about chewing toffees, gum, grainy rolls and tough food in this area
- See your dentist for regular professional check-ups and cleanings
