Dental extraction, even the extractions performed to remove problematic wisdom teeth, do not have to be necessarily painful – here is how proper support from your doctor can help you prevent and avoid pain:
- Using the right type of anesthetic or the right level of sedation – a good oral surgeon is familiar with a wide range of anesthetics and sedatives and is able to choose the drug that works the best for the patient;
- Performing the intervention correctly – a good oral surgeon also performs the wisdom tooth removal Park Ridge has correctly as well as gently, keeping the amount of strain to the jaw muscles and the bruising to the minimum;
- Detailed instructions about the aftercare – there are many things that the patient should refrain from for a few days after the extraction, such as strenuous physical activity, food that is hot, cold, hard, fibrous or chewy, dairy, alcohols and tobacco and many things that the patients should do, such as to apply cold compresses on the face. A good doctor informs the patient about all these do’s and dont’s as well as about the important of taking care of the blood clot that forms in the gap and that protects the surgical wound from infection.
