Reasons Periodontists Would Recommend a Surgery |
Posted on 9/16/2024 by Todd Jorgenson |
 Periodontists may recommend dental surgery for severe conditions. The dentist will tell you to have oral surgery for your benefit. You will note that they have tried other options and surgery is the only thing that will improve things. You should understand why the periodontist would prefer dental surgery. Here are some of the reasons why:
Problem Wisdom TeethHaving a wisdom tooth can be challenging for some people as it tends to be painful. Wisdom teeth grow at the far back of the mouth, and they may push the jaw and make the other teeth crooked as they create space for them. Therefore, if the periodontist notices that your wisdom teeth are harming or will harm your dental health, they may recommend oral surgery to take them out.
Tooth LossTooth loss can be due to accidents, and it may cause fractures in other parts of your mouth. You should know that you need special care for your jaw to ensure you minimize the damage. The dentist will ensure you get dental surgery and install dental implants to replace lost teeth. The dentist will also provide the necessary painkillers to relieve the pain before getting into surgery.
Impacted CaninesSometimes, braces may not fix impacted canines. Therefore, the dentist will opt for dental surgery to ensure they select the canines from the roots. This way, you will manage to have straight teeth, and your dental formula will boost your self-esteem.
Tooth DecayTooth decay can progress painlessly, and if you are not careful, you may end up with extremely damaged teeth. You will then realize that the infection can spread beyond your mouth. At this point, you should visit the periodontist for oral surgery. If possible, the dentist will try to stop the infection from spreading and ensure that the tooth is completely healed at the end of the process. Otherwise, the tooth may need to be extracted.
It is essential to seek prompt treatment from a periodontist if you have any of these dental issues. Call our clinic today for more information about periodontal surgery and its benefits.
