Reasons for a tooth extraction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth decay and advanced gum disease or even a\nchipped or broken tooth can often, with very careful dental work, be repaired\nand saved without needing to be taken out. There are cases, however, where we\ncannot save a tooth and this is if advanced gum disease has rotted away the\nsoft tissue beyond repair or decayed the tooth so much that it cannot be saved\nwith a root canal. To be able to properly consult on the state of a tooth, your\ndentist in St. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> will take an Xray\nof the area to assess the damage and make a decision on what needs to be done\nand whether or not the tooth can be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it happens that the tooth does indeed need to\nbe removed, you will be injected with a local anesthetic to completely numb the\narea that needs to be worked on so that you won\u2019t feel a thing. If you find\nthat you are quite phobic or very nervous there is an option for you to be\nplaced under sedation while we work, in order to set your nerves at ease and\nhelp us make things quicker and even more painless as the whole tooth, root and\nall, will be extracted and the area cleaned of all decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the space where the tooth used to be has\nbeen properly cleaned it will be stitched and you will possibly be prescribed\nantibiotics to prevent any further infection after surgery, your dentist will\nalso discuss possible tooth replacement options with you that best suit your\nneeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impacted wisdom teeth – depending on how these\nteeth are growing, can be a complicated and lengthy procedure which is why it\nis usually done under general anesthetic. Your wisdom teeth may begin to grow\nout when you reach adulthood, or even after. Ideally, they should cut through\nthe gums with ease, but this is not always the case, sometimes they may grow\nbeneath the other back teeth if there is not enough space in the mouth for them\nto come out, which can cause headaches and mouth pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These impacted teeth need to be removed to stop\nthe other teeth from overcrowding or becoming crooked, there may be quite a bit\nof swelling after surgery and over the counter pain medication may be\nprescribed along with a diet of soft foods for a few days but the healing\nprocess is quick and you will be back to normal within 1-2 weeks after surgery\nat your dentist in St. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
