Although, tooth root surgery sounds scary, please know that it is intervention which will save your tooth which would be extracted otherwise. Dental clinic Lopičić may guarantee to all their patients that this intervention is painless. Our oral surgeons will conduct this intervention under local anesthesia. We can guarantee you that the intervention will be done very precisely and very carefully.
Usually, after the effect of anesthesia is lost, following the tooth root surgery, pain will start because the gums were cut. Swelling is also possible, so we advise you application of cold packs. If the inflammation of tooth root has not been treated on time, it will lead to tooth rooth surgery. If you do not treat gingivitis, the inflammation will be spread and cause damaging of periodontium.
This will lead to progressing of periodontal disease. The next stage caused by spreading of inflammation are periodontal pockets. Tooth sensitivitiy when biting, bleeding and pain are the symptoms of periodontal pockets. If inflammation spreads to this extent, it is possible that it will cause damaging of other remoted human body organs.
Tooth root surgery - procedure
Tooth root surgery is necessary for saving the tooth. Tooth root surgery procedure consists of several steps. First step is cutting away and pulling the gums in order to reach alveolar bone and periodontal pocket. It is very important to make pathologically altered tissue clearly visible. The next step is sewing the gingiva. The dentist will release the patient and tell him to visit the clinic again, for removal of stitches, seven days following the intervention.
If the infection has spread all over the tooth, tooth root surgery is not always the best solution. In some cases it is better to have the tooth extracted. The dentist will advise the patient whether to have tooth surgery or tooth extraction. The decision in such case depends on many factors, such as current health situation of the patient, age, etc.
