Removal of the root of the tooth is a complicated, but the most painless procedure

Often in everyday turmoil people do not remember the most important thing - health. They forget to regularly brush their teeth, smoke, and do not pay attention to the appearance of caries.

Unfortunately, many patients turn to the dentist when the tooth can not be saved. Delay treatment is not worth it, it can lead to more severe consequences: a purulent-inflammatory process starts or a root cyst of the tooth is formed.

If you look at the tooth from an anatomical point of view, you can distinguish its parts - crown and root. Part of the tooth, located on the surface of the gum, is called a crown, but the root is not visible, since it is located in the gum itself. The place where the root of the tooth is located is called a hole, it is held there by means of ligaments that attach it to the bone. If the caries progresses, the tooth enamel is damaged first , and then the pulp is its soft part. There is inflammation of the pulp, it swells, and the nerve that is in the tooth begins to clamp. The result is pain. If you immediately go to the dentist, the nerve can be saved, otherwise you will have to remove it.

To remove a tooth it is necessary in the following cases: the crown is strongly damaged by caries, the tooth is struck by periodontal disease. Also, this must be done if the tooth was broken or misplaced in the dentition. If removal is unavoidable, the patient is referred to an X-ray, which helps the doctor to make a correct removal of the root of the tooth. Before proceeding to this procedure, the dentist will make an anesthetic injection in the gum. Many are afraid of such a procedure as removing the root of the tooth, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Thanks to modern techniques and strong anesthesia, this procedure can be quite painless. After the tooth has been frozen, the doctor begins to loosen it, and if necessary, can incise the gum. At the end of the procedure, the dentist can apply a seam to the cut gum.

Removal of the root of the tooth is not recommended for patients who suffer from cardiovascular and mental illnesses, various viral infections, stomatitis. There are cases of unfair removal of the tooth, as a result, a fracture of the root of the tooth may occur. In this case, you must immediately remove the remaining part of the gum. For this, a very strong anesthesia is done.

The hardest thing to do is to remove the root of a wisdom tooth. Very often the G-8 does not have enough space in the dental arch, and they can not erupt. In this case, they should be removed immediately: delaying the operation can lead to serious consequences. Due to the fact that they are often irregular in shape or grow sideways, the removal of the root of the tooth is quite long, often more than an hour. However, if the wisdom tooth is not removed in time, a tooth cyst can form, a benign tumor in the jaw area. Removing the cyst is a very complicated surgical procedure, which you will have to suffer just because you did not remove the root of the tooth in time.

It is better, of course, to monitor your teeth and start to treat them in time, so you can avoid unpleasant consequences.
