Wisdom tooth surgery with anesthesia
If you are afraid of wisdom tooth extraction or wisdom tooth surgery and have dental phobia, stay with us in this article. With the help of one of the modern methods of dental treatment called dental sedation or dentistry in sleep, fear and anxiety of dentistry can be controlled. By using dental sedatives in sleep, treatments such as wisdom tooth surgery with anesthesia or wisdom tooth extraction or other dental treatments can be done easily with this method.
Methods to prevent fear
Most people with dental phobia are afraid of dental anesthetic needles. The following methods are suggested for these people.
- Anesthesia using local anesthetic gel: this is how before injection with a needle, an anesthetic gel is applied to a part of the gum so that the person does not feel the pain of the needle. If you are afraid of dental needles, you can ask your dentist to apply gel to your gums before injecting with the needle.
- Sedation dentistry or dentistry in sleep: this is a specialist method of oral and maxillofacial surgery using sedative drugs. This method creates a feeling of deep sleep and reduces the level of consciousness during the treatment process.
- General anesthesia and complete anesthesia: In this method, the level of consciousness is completely reduced and the person does not feel any pain and all vital signs are under control.
Does wisdom tooth surgery hurt?
At first, to start the treatment of wisdom tooth surgery, the oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist will inject you with anesthesia, and the treatment will not start until you feel no pain. The feeling of pressure from the doctor’s hand during wisdom tooth extraction may be mistaken for pain. Therefore, bear this pressure until the end of the process of the complete removal of the tooth from the gum. Despite all these conditions, if you still feel pain during tooth extraction, tell the dentist in Canada to anesthetize you again. How long wisdom tooth surgery takes also depends on the position and condition of the tooth.
Complications of wisdom tooth surgery
Wisdom tooth surgery may have common and mild complications after extraction, which include the following factors:
- Bleeding
- swelling
- the pain
- a bruise
- Dry cavity: after wisdom tooth extraction, a blood clot forms in the empty space of the tooth, which helps to close the cavity and improve the empty area of the tooth and protect the bone. If this blood clot is not formed properly in the cavity or is removed, it will cause throbbing pain. This happens when you ignore your doctor’s care recommendations and prevent blood clots from forming by doing things like smoking, spitting, washing too soon after pulling, and touching or manipulating the bare area.
