Wisdom tooth extraction.??
Question: My wisdom tooth is extremely decayed should I have it removed, is it possible without serious surgery?
Answers: HAVE IT REMOVED!!! I waited and waited and waited to have mine pulled.(I will never procratinate again). One of my wisdom teeth was partially decayed and was causing severe pain... after suffering for 3 days because of the decay I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled. Its been almost 1 and 1/2 weeks and the area where the decayed tooth was at still has not healed and I am still in sever pain! (Possible Dry Socket). Which is why I have been up since 3am..... Ahhhhhh. But please go, don't wait like I did and go when its an extreme emergency
If it is still inside your mouth, it will have to be surgically removed. If it has peeked out to its fullest, I think the dentist will just pull it. I've actually undergone the surgical wisdom tooth extraction and it's not bad. It seems scary because they make you take all these medicines before and after (to avoid serious swelling and bleeding and infection) surgery. I couldn't eat for a week but only because it was open. There was no pain during or after but my dentist said that older people have a harder time since their teeth are more developed. Try root canal?
You should definitly have it removed... no doubt about that. Whether or not it requires major surgery un-certain, but doubtful... Just for the fact that you mention it is decayed, so apparently it has broken the surface... If a dentist can get a grip on the tooth he may simply numb that area and yank it out... You definitly need to go find out at least... Don't put it off, just get it done...
If the tooth itself is acsessable and easy to keep dry while they are restoring it then they wont remove it but how ever if they see no reason to keep the tooth they will extract it. If the wisdom tooth is sitting in a position that is again easy to get to, it will not need a surgical procedure but if it is buried under the gum then you might have to have the surgical procedure, sorry!!!
extraction per se is a surgery .it is possible without serious surgery if it is not impacted too deep. if its restorable , save it. u can have it root canal treated too if its giving you pain and dont want to part away with it... usually wisdom tooth is advisable to remove if it has no opposing tooth , does it useless for mastication. 2, if its impacted and causing you pain and discomfort..
I am not sure that any oral surgeon would consider a case like this serious (and by that I mean difficult or a big deal) surgery. It's like asking a plumber to fix a leaky faucet. Although the longer you wait, the worse it is going to get and the more difficult it is going to be to remove it and the longer recovery you will have.
yes, you don't have to be put to sleep and it's alot cheaper not to as well. They just numb it and make a little cut and pull it out in pieces and all you'll feel is pressure, they place a stitch or 2 in and you can't feel it. no sedation, way cheaper, can drive home, then go get your pain meds filled and not feel a thing that day but a little sore for a few days after but to be expected.
