Removal of wisdom tooth on the lower jaw - consequences

People have a lot of problems with wisdom teeth. In addition, they can be very sick during eruption, sometimes they need to be torn out. This procedure is rather complicated and certainly not the most pleasant. Agreeing to it, the patient is well aware of all the possible consequences of removing the wisdom tooth on the lower jaw. The emphasis on the lower jaw, incidentally, is not accidental. The bone in it is stronger, so pulling the tooth out of it sometimes proves to be a very difficult task.

Techniques for removing the lower wisdom teeth

Any dentist will convince you that wisdom teeth are something without which you can easily live. And most of the experts will also show by their own example that it is necessary to remove the rudiment - namely, the so-called eight - in advance, thus saving yourself from a lot of problems. The latter include:

Very often it happens that the lower wisdom tooth grows curved, because of it on the mucosa can be constantly formed wounds, and sometimes even non-healing for several months ulcers. The danger is that over time they can develop into a malignant tumor.

You can remove the rudiment by two main methods: simple and complex. A simple procedure is carried out using elevators and standard tongs. No cuts or drills of a part of the bone can be done.

During the removal of the wisdom tooth on the lower jaw usually resort to a complex operation. In addition to forceps, drills are used. The procedure is usually not without cuts. And in the end its formed wound is certainly sutured. Such a complex operation is required if the roots of the tooth grow at an atypical angle or the rudiment body itself is located under the bone.

Preparations for deletion in both cases occur identically. Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia . The main difference is that during a complex operation, the dose of anesthetic can be increased, and the expectation of the effect of its effect reaches ten minutes.

Consequences of tooth extraction on the lower jaw

Of course, the tooth extraction can not pass unnoticed. Although pain is not felt directly during the procedure, after the action of the anesthetic is over, the patient's state of health deteriorates sharply. Soreness is quite normal. You can not forget that after the removal you have left an open wound in your mouth.

It is possible to clash with other consequences of the removal of the lower wisdom tooth:

  1. Bleeding after surgery should not be surprised. Before releasing the patient, the dentist closes the wound with a cotton swab, designed just to stop the blood. You can begin to sound an alarm if the problem not only does not pass within a couple of days, but the bleeding also increases.
  2. Immediately after a complex operation, numbness of the lips and part of the mucosa can be taken for the action of anesthesia. If the analgesic does not "let go" for several hours - there is reason to be worried. Probably, the nerve is touched.
  3. Inexperienced dentists can accidentally break the jaw when removing the lower tooth.
  4. A common complication is the alveolitis . The problem is the formation of pus in the hole. This happens most often because of unprofessionalism and careless attitude of doctors.
  5. In some patients, after the removal of wisdom teeth, a bruise appears on the cheek. This indicates that during the operation the vessel in the soft tissues was damaged.
  6. Do not be surprised at the temperature increase after the procedure.
