For most people, going to the dentist is the worst thing that can happen to them. Fear of drills makes them as long as possible to delay this trip, which often leads to disastrous consequences, when there is no way to save the tooth. There are more dangerous moments, when the gums remain in the gums, leading to inflammation and abscesses. Removal of the root of the tooth is quite a complicated operation and requires the intervention of an experienced specialist.
Removing the roots of the tooth without pain
If you have a problem, when the root remains after the extraction of the tooth , you should take care that these remnants are also removed from the gum. Perhaps for some time the roots will not bother you, but over time they can cause inflammation. In this case, their removal will be difficult and even more painful.
To date, during this operation, both local and general anesthesia is used. Therefore, worry about the pain is not worth it. After the action of the painkiller passes, the pain can return and continue until the wound heals.
So, if you have a root and can be seen above the gum, it will greatly facilitate the work of the doctor. Removing the tip of the root of the tooth is easier, because you can easily grasp it with a tool and pull it out. If you can not see it, you often have to make an incision so that you can grab it. Often such a gum incision is made and during removal of the overgrown root of the tooth. In this case, a drill is frequently used, with the help of which the remains of roots are cut out.
The stages of root extraction are as follows:
- The doctor carefully moves the gum from both sides of the removed root to a depth of one centimeter.
- The introduction of brush forceps under the gum. In doing so, the doctor must ensure that the tweezers lie flat on the axis of the tooth. The grip must be no less than 4 mm.
- Clamping force of forceps.
- With the help of rotational movements there is a dislocation of the root of the tooth.
- Extraction of the tooth.
- Inspection of the hole and the convergence of its edges.
Removing the root of wisdom tooth
The most difficult procedure is the removal of the wisdom tooth . It can be complicated by the fact that often the tooth has up to 5 roots. At the same time, their location is not straight, but curved. In addition, the gum around him is much denser. Its role is played by the location of the tooth in a hard-to-reach place. This greatly complicates the whole work of the surgeon. Most often, this operation is performed with gum cutting.
