Dental Surgery

 Dental surgery is a broad term that refers to a broad range of medical procedures that involves the gums and teeth. These include root canal, implants, and wisdom tooth extraction. Out of the different dental surgery procedures, perhaps the most common is wisdom teeth removal. In this article, we’re going to talk more about removing your wisdom teeth so you can be prepared. Wisdom teeth removal is a little different from removing ordinary teeth in that you may sometimes need to do it inside the surgeon’s office and have yourself injected with anesthesia to do it. This is especially true if you’re having all of your wisdom teeth removed all at the same time, or if you have a real fear of the dentist’s chair. How is it done? First, the dentist will open up your gum tissue and clean up any bone and debris that’s covering the wisdom tooth. Once the gum is opened, the dentist might then decide whether to extract the tooth whole or to cut it into smaller parts so that it’s easier to remove. Once the wisdom teeth removal is done, your oral surgeon may stitch it. There are two different types of stitches – the ones that dissolve with time and the ones that need to be removed a few days later.
