“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Dental surgery refers to a variety of procedures that are performed to treat dental and oral conditions. Some common dental surgeries include wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, root canal therapy, and gum surgery.
Before any dental surgery, your dentist or oral surgeon will perform a thorough examination and discuss your medical history to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. They may also take x-rays or other imaging tests to evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums.
During the surgery, you will be given local anesthesia to numb the area being worked on, as well as sedatives or general anesthesia if needed to help you relax or sleep through the procedure. Your surgeon will then use specialized tools and techniques to perform the necessary repairs or extractions.
After the surgery, you will be given instructions on how to care for your mouth and manage any discomfort or swelling. You may need to avoid certain foods and activities for a period of time to allow for proper healing.
It is important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. If you experience severe pain, bleeding, or other concerning symptoms after your dental surgery, you should contact your dentist or oral surgeon immediately for further evaluation and treatment.
