Is it possible to remove teeth painlessly?

Tooth extraction is the most common operation in stomatological surgery. It is used when therapeutic methods have not yielded results. Specialists of Ora Pro Clinic in Kyiv try to keep the dentition intact, but if this is not possible, they provide patients with painless tooth extraction services.

What are the types of tooth extraction?

Modern dentistry has a large arsenal of painkillers and methods of analgesia. Therefore, the operation is painless. But with complex interventions, for example, removal of roots or wisdom teeth, local anesthesia may not be enough. Repeated anesthesia increases the drug load on the body and increases the risk of an allergic reaction.

2 main methods are used to remove teeth:

1. Simple - with the help of dental forceps, the doctor grabs the tooth as close as possible to the gum, loosens it and pulls it out completely.
2. Complex - the tooth is divided into parts and its fragments are pulled out. At the same time, the gum and periosteum are cut, which causes prolonged pain after the operation.

Indications for performing a complex tooth extirpation (removal) operation include:

1. lack of a crown;
2. Retinal teeth - hidden under the gum;
3. dislocated teeth - positioned at an angle or horizontally;
4. root cracks

Methods of removal and anesthesia are selected by the specialist individually.

What methods of anesthesia are used during tooth extraction?

The following types of anesthesia are used to relieve pain during tooth extraction:

1. general: narcosis, sedation ("medicated sleep");
2. local: application, infiltration, conduction.

Each technique has its indications and contraindications, according to which the doctor selects the method of administration of the analgesic and its type. Drugs of deep and prolonged action guarantee that the patient will not feel pain not only during the operation, but also for some time after it. If the patient suffers from phobias, cannot tolerate the sight of blood, or is afraid of a doctor in a white coat, the operation may be performed under sedation.

Is it possible to reduce pain after surgery?

Modern methods of complex tooth extraction allow not only to carry out the operation painlessly, but also not to experience pain after the intervention, as they are carried out with minimal injuries. Examples of such operations for painless tooth extraction include:

• laser;
• ultrasonic.

In these cases, laser and ultrasound work like a surgical knife. The advantages of innovative technologies include:

1. high accuracy of impact;
2. minimal postoperative symptoms - pain, swelling, bleeding;
3. absence of damaging effects of surrounding tissues;
4. maximum shortening of the healing period;
5. short time of surgical intervention;
6. antibacterial effect;
7. the possibility of carrying out operational measures in hard-to-reach places.

With the help of a laser installation and a piezosurgical device, it is possible teeth will be removed painlessly both adult patients and small children.
