The thought of needing a more invasive dental procedure can be daunting for many patients. However, treatments such as extractions and wisdom tooth removals may be necessary to protect your smile from significant harm. If you need a tooth removed, your team at Riverside Dental Group in California is here to help you feel comfortable throughout your procedure.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions Protect Your Smile
Our wisdom teeth develop around our teenage years and early twenties. This extra set of molars is not necessary to the function or appearance of our smile and are often removed to protect your other teeth from being shifted around. Since they grow later than your other dental structures, they may not have enough room to fully erupt and can become impacted, which can cause discomfort and many oral health problems if they are not removed. You can have a total of four wisdom teeth, so the removal process may be more extensive than a simple removal. Sedation may be used to help you relax, and then the structures will gently be removed, and the space is then closed.
We May Need To Remove A Tooth That Has Been Significantly Damaged
In other situations, you may need to have a tooth removed if it has been seriously damaged. When you injure a tooth with a fracture or chip it, it may be restored with the help of a dental crown or other treatments. However, if the damage is too severe and cannot be treated, removing it may be the best way to protect your other teeth from harm. The surrounding area will be numbed before the structure is gently removed and cleaned. Your team will give you specific care instructions to follow after the procedure. Remember to avoid anything that could irritate the area, like eating crunchy foods or smoking cigarettes.
Sedation Keeps You Comfortable
More invasive procedures like extractions can be worrisome for some patients. Our team will do their best to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Oral conscious sedation may be used to help you remain calm and able to respond during your treatment. You can discuss sedation options with your dentist before your oral surgery.
