Impacted Tooth Surgery
Affected teeth are teeth that are not where they should be in the mouth, even if the teething period has passed. Such teeth may remain in the jawbone or be covered by soft tissue. The other type is teeth, half of which are visible and the other half are under the gums. On the other hand, such teeth are called semi-closed teeth. At the Specialist Dental Clinic, our specialist doctors perform this procedure comfortably.
Impacted teeth can negatively affect the patient’s nutrition and affect the aesthetic structure of the teeth. Therefore, it should be treated in terms of orthodontics. Thus, all problems with the affected tooth will be eliminated. At Alanya Experts Dental Polyclinic, in impacted tooth surgeries, the area where the tooth is located is anesthetized with local anesthesia, the bone around the tooth is removed and the affected tooth is removed.
After surgery, a cotton pad is placed over the extracted tooth so that the blood clots and stops. The patient should hold the tampon tightly in his mouth for about half an hour. If possible, do not shake or spit for the first 24 hours; Ice compresses should be used against possible edema. After surgery, it is necessary to stop drinking alcohol and smoking and give up sour, hot and bitter foods. After about a week or 10 days, the stitches are removed and the treatment ends.
