Oral surgery basically refers to surgical procedures that are executed in and around your mouth and jaws. There are different types of oral surgeries like tooth extractions and root canals. Depending on the type and complexity of the problem that you are facing, your surgery will be conducted by specialists like endodontist, periodontist, and so on. Your dentist at Miami Essential Dental Clinic would check the conditions of your teeth at first, then depending on the results, he or she will refer you to the concerned specialist. So if you are facing any oral problems, then do not delay and contact us immediately!
Specialist dentists at Miami Essential Dental clinic performs different types of oral surgeries including:
- Tooth extraction- If you have a tooth that is damaged by decay or broken, then our dentist will try to fix it at first using different types of restorative methods like crowns, fillings, etc. In case the damaged tooth is beyond repair, then you might have to undergo tooth extraction.
- Wisdom tooth extraction- Wisdom tooth grows at the back of your mouth. Generally, they do not give any trouble but sometimes they might grow at a weird angle that applies pressure to the neighboring teeth causing pain in your jaws. If you have impacted and painful wisdom teeth, then extraction is an effective way to get rid of it.
In order to recover quickly after an oral surgery, it is important that you follow the instructions given by your dentist. Make sure not consume alcohol or tobacco after the process. Also refrain from eating hard, chewy and sugary food. If you experience any swelling, which is very common after surgeries, you should apply ice packs on the concerned area. Instead of brushing, wash your mouth with salt water, a few hours after the surgery to kill all the bacteria.
The time of recovery depends on the complexity of the surgery. Do not forget to follow up with your dentist as scheduled. If you have any more questions regarding oral surgeries, contact us directly at Miami Essential Dental Clinic.
