SURGICAL EXTRACTION/WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION
A surgical extraction is required when the tooth has not erupted into the oral cavity through the gum line or when the tooth is broken while performing the normal extraction. Dr. Sai Ganesh is the best place for Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Dubai.
To perform a surgical extraction a dentist need to elevate the gingiva, remove the bone and if required cut the tooth into two halves in order to remove the tooth from the socket.
Wisdom tooth extraction is necessary in order to protect the adjacent tooth from decay due to abnormal position of the wisdom tooth; in order to relieve the pain due to the forceful eruption of the tooth into the oral cavity due to lack of space and in order to protect the teeth alignment after the orthodontics treatment.
A wisdom tooth removal generally takes 20 to 40 minutes depending upon the complex anatomy of the tooth. At Dr. Sai Ganesh Medical Center we are providing emergency tooth extraction facility.
A suture is required after wisdom tooth removal in order to protect the socket from any food debris, to fasten the healing process and arrest the primary bleeding.
