Dental surgery is the surgery of the teeth and jawbones, and it can be a number of medical procedures performed to address different concerns. Here are some methods of oral surgery that are popularly done today.
Impacted teeth: Surgery is performed to address wisdom teeth, the last set of teeth to develop, that fail to emerge in proper alignment or fail to fully emerge through the gum line, becoming “impacted” between one’s jawbone and gum tissue. Impacted teeth can lead to swelling, pain, and gum tissue infection, so dentists recommend having them surgically removed.,
Root canals: These treat diseases or an abscessed tooth. Once a tooth is cracked, injured, or decayed, it becomes a must to open the toot and clean out the infected tissue in the center. The space is afterward filled and the opening sealed.
Gum surgery: This is performed to reverse the effect of periodontal or gum disease, which affected the gums and jawbone and can result in loss of gum and teeth. Gingivitis is the milder and reversible form of the condition, while periodontal disease is the more severe kind.
Dental implants: For tooth loss, implants are made as an alternative to bridges and dentures. They are tooth root substitutes that are surgically anchored in place in the jawbone, acting to stabilize the artificial teeth to which they’re attached. Facial infections: An infection may manifest and cause pain and swelling in the face, neck or jaws. It can sometimes develop into a life-threatening emergency if not promptly addressed and treated. An oral surgeon can help diagnose and treat the problem, sometimes cutting into and draining the infected area – as well as extracting any teeth involved – to solve the problem.
