Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed to remove one or more of the third molars, located at the back of the mouth. These molars often emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause various issues due to their position and size. Many people experience pain, discomfort, or swelling when their wisdom teeth start to erupt, as they may become impacted or fail to fully emerge through the gums. In such cases, extraction becomes necessary to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications like infection, overcrowding, or damage to neighboring teeth. The extraction procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s preference. After the extraction, patients may experience some swelling, discomfort, or mild bleeding, which can be managed with pain medications and proper post-operative care. Most individuals recover within a few days to a week following the procedure and can resume their normal activities. It’s essential to follow the dentist’s instructions for aftercare, including maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding certain foods and activities that may interfere with the healing process. Overall, wisdom tooth extraction can provide relief from discomfort and promote better oral health in the long run.
Dr. Antoine, with his extensive experience in extracting impacted wisdom teeth, ensures you a safe and comfortable experience, stemming from the skills he possesses and the tools he employs. Having performed over 2000 surgical extractions over the course of 15 years, he brings a wealth of expertise to every procedure.
Oral infections encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the mouth, gums, teeth, and surrounding tissues. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other pathogens, and they can vary in severity from mild to severe. Common types of oral infections include dental caries (tooth decay), gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), periodontitis (advanced gum disease), oral thrush (a fungal infection of the mouth), and viral infections such as cold sores or herpes simplex virus. Symptoms of oral infections may include pain, swelling, redness, bad breath, or difficulty chewing or swallowing. Proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, can help prevent many oral infections. Treatment for oral infections may vary depending on the specific condition but often includes antibiotics, antifungal medications, or other oral hygiene measures. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of oral infections are essential to prevent complications and maintain oral health.
Endodontic surgery, also known as apicoectomy or root-end resection, is a dental procedure performed to treat infections or damage deep within the tooth’s root canal system. While conventional root canal therapy is often successful in treating most cases of tooth infection, there are situations where endodontic surgery becomes necessary. This may include cases where infection persists despite root canal treatment, or when anatomical complexities prevent effective cleaning and sealing of the root canal system. During endodontic surgery, the endodontist accesses the root tip through a small incision in the gum tissue, removes the infected or damaged tissue, and seals the end of the root to prevent further infection. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is followed by a period of healing and recovery. Endodontic surgery can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted, preserving both its functionality and aesthetics. With advancements in technology and techniques, endodontic surgery has become a predictable and effective treatment option for resolving complex root canal issues and restoring oral health.
