What is the difference between a tooth extraction and a surgical tooth extraction?
440625
what defines a "simple " tooth extraction is defined, to the best of my knowlkedge, as a tooth that can be extracted with minimum force, elevated from the socket easily in one piece, with no complications. \n\n        A surgical extraction is defined as a tooth that has forseeable complication attached. Complications such as extensive decay. Extensive decay could cause the tooth to break off at the gumline, requiring extra care to remove root tips.  Complications such as a curved root, making it difficult to elevate out of the socket. Complications such as bony involvment, requiring the dentist to section the tooth and remove it in pieces. Complications such as infection, making it hard to get the area numb and making bleeding much worse. All these things qualify a tooth extraction to be surgical. \n\n Basically, it is up to a doctor to determine whether an extraction is surgical or simple. It is upon his/her judgement what will qualify it as such, and the list of variables is endless. \n\n Basically, any degree of difficulty will qualify an extraction as surgical, and it's the dentist call.\n\nNOTE: *Both type of extractions can be done under local     ( numbing, needle) anesthetic. Surigical does not necessarily mean you will be asleep for the procedure.* \n\n  good luck

The tooth is basically encased in bone. They usually cut away the "roof" of bone and a little bit around the tooth to get it out. The hole that is left over usually fills back in with bone and shouldn't cause any problems.

i believe what you are talking about is a cantilever bridge and is actually a very conservative way to restore your smile when something like what happened to your tooth happens. you don't hear of this often cuz it takes special situations for it to occur. by doing the extraction and placing the bridge like that - it keeps him from having to do a 3 unit bridge which would involve yet another tooth . if it were my mouth i wouldn't hesitate on the treatment

no i think you have been told porky pies. although they are very difficult teeth to remove, i doubt you need any bone removal at all. usually you only need bone removed on wisdom teeth becasue they may be impacted, just go to your dentist for a consult and have a talk and get quotes first.\ngood luck

Getting your wisdom teeth taken out will be easy!  You won't even be there very long.  Just take it easy for a few days after.

Go to the dentist!  a wisdom tooth could cause an infection that could make you very very ill.  A dentist will only charge you a couple hundred $'s for extraction and if you tell them ahead of time, they will take payments.\n\nYou could find a dental school in your area, they may do it for a fraction of the cost, but you are getting people who have no experience, and the pain level could be worse.

Before I answer your question I just want to state that I am a Dental Technologist not a Dentist. Dental Technologists only make dental prosthesis with a prescription from a Dentist and we do not give out medical advice.  Thus, any comments I make are just personal thoughts and should not be taken as medical advice. So GO TO YOUR DENTIST!!!!!\n\nNow to answer your question, go to a dentist ASPA. It might just be your tooth is impacted and you need your wisdom tooth extracted but it might be something else. For the pain there is not much you can do that is not over the counter other then takes a pain killer

Not only is it safe, it is a necessity! While certain dental procedures may be postponed during pregnancy, a broken tooth is a dental emergency. Schedule a cleaning while you are there. Bacteria in your mouth can lead to infection, which can lead to preterm labor and heart disease!

See your general dentist so he or she can extract the tooth.  If it is a complex extraction then your general dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon for the extraction.\n\nIf money is the problem then contact the dental school nearest you... the do work at very reduced fees.  Or, you can contact your local health department.. many health departemnts in the U.S. now have dental clinics.

It's possible to do what you ask, but only as a temporary help. Grinding off healthy tooth means grinding off the enamel leaving the softer dentine exposed and open to infection. The need for an anesthetic depends on how much grinding is needed and your pain tolerance. You are right in having impacted wisdom teeth removed to prevent later problems that may not be so easy to fix.

it is . , it cld be that the left side takes long to removed thus it gives you a greater infammation .the longer the procedure the more trauma it give to the tissue around it.lower teeth are much harder to remove most of the time due to the bone density on the mandible as compared tot he upper(maxillary bone). Dont worry it will be be ok . help it by taking the medicines the doc gave you..\nyou will be fine honey. And dont talk much , let it rest .

I am writing not to recommend a good dentist. I would like to let you know that perhaps your expectations are a little too high. The extractions itself can be performed painlessly if you are numb. The numbing part will be uncomfortable. You would feel pressure though, which has no correlation with how numb you are. Some nervous people feel the pressure unnerving, incorrectly relating it to pain. \n\nMost dental problems are preventable. To stay away from getting serious dental work done will need a lot of work on the owner's part. Good upkeep, frequent checkups to address problems when they are little. Good luck in finding a dentist.

Surgical removal of a dental root apex. Also called root resection.

i had both experiences with wisdom teeth.  personally if you have the option of being more sedated (and you have no health problems) i would choose that option.  i preferred it, didn't have to sit there awake while my mouth was tugged on, i remember nothing besides getting a little medicine and waking up.

I don't think so.  I have had both and the root canal was a lot less painful and it took a lot less time to recover afterwords.  You don't have to worry about losing the clot with a root canal, you don't have to worry about them having the break the tooth apart before pulling it (like with a molar) which I thought was horribly uncomfortable,  and you get to keep the tooth which is usually a plus.  Only problem is that pulling a tooth costs just a couple hundred dollars (usually) while root canals can cost a couple thousand once you get the procedure, the fill and/or post, and the crown.  So if cost is an issue, like it is with me, pulling the tooth may be the way to go.

Most people, when having all 4 removed with IV sedation, generally have the surgery on a Friday and they are fine to return to work by Monday.  When having only one removed with local anesthetic, most people will only take the day off they are having the procedure done and will return to work the next day.  I personally would not recommend returning to work after any extraction as rest is best.  Whatever you do, just make sure to follow your post-operative instructions the dentist gives to you to avoid a dry socket (and futher pain) after the extraction.

most often the oral surgeon that removes the wisdom teeth put you under general anesthesia.\nYou don't feel anything.\nWhen you wake up later you will feel some discomfort, but the oral surgeon will give you pain pills and an anti-biotic for the infection...impacted or erupted wisdom teeth or bony impacted teeth have to be cut out and need stitches\nThe top ones are a piece of cake, but the bottom ones stay sore longer, or on me they did..
