Often in everyday turmoil, people do not remember the most important thing - health. They forget to brush their teeth regularly, smoke, and do not pay attention to the appearance of caries.
Unfortunately, many patients turn to the dentist when it is already impossible to save the tooth. It is not worth delaying treatment, this can lead to more serious consequences: a purulent-inflammatory process begins or a cyst of the tooth root is formed.
If you consider the tooth from an anatomical point of view, you can distinguish its parts - the crown and root. The part of the tooth located on the surface of the gum is called the crown, but the root is not visible, since it is located in the gum itself. The place where the tooth root is located is called the hole, it is held there with the help of ligaments that attach it to the bone. If caries progresses, the tooth enamel is damaged at first , and then the pulp, its soft part, is damaged. Inflammation of the pulp occurs, it swells, and the nerve that is in the tooth begins to tighten. The result is pain. If you immediately contact a dentist, then the nerve can be saved, otherwise you will have to remove it.
It is necessary to remove a tooth in the following cases: the crown is badly damaged by caries, the tooth is affected by periodontal disease.
It is also necessary to do this if the tooth was broken or improperly located in the dentition. If removal is unavoidable, the patient is referred for an x-ray, which helps the doctor to properly remove the tooth root. Before starting this procedure, the dentist will make an
anesthetic injection into the gum. Many are afraid of such a procedure as tooth root extraction, but in fact there is nothing terrible in it. Thanks to modern techniques and strong anesthesia, this procedure can be completely painless. After the tooth has been frozen, the doctor begins to loosen it, and if necessary, can cut the gum. At the end of the procedure, the dentist can stitch the cut gum.
Removing the tooth root is not recommended for patients who suffer from cardiovascular and mental diseases, various viral infections, and stomatitis. There are cases of unfair tooth extraction, as a result, a tooth root fracture can occur. In this case, you must immediately remove the remaining part of the gum. A very strong anesthesia is done for this.
The most difficult thing is to remove the root
of the wisdom tooth. Very often, the G8 does not have enough space in the dental arch, and they cannot cut through. In this case, they should be removed immediately: delaying the operation can lead to serious consequences. Due to the fact that they are often irregular in shape or grow sideways, the removal of the tooth root takes quite a long time, often more than an hour. However, if the wisdom tooth is not removed on time, then a tooth cyst may form, a
benign tumor in the jaw area. Removing a cyst is a very complicated surgical procedure that you will only have to undergo because you did not remove the tooth root on time.
It’s better, of course, to watch your teeth and start treating them in time, so you can avoid unpleasant consequences.
