About the treatment
Extractions
Wisdom Dents Extracts:
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental surgery. Wisdom teeth are the last molars located at the back of the mouth, usually four in total (two at the top and two at the bottom). They usually appear between 17 and 25 years of age. Extracting wisdom teeth can offer several important benefits, especially if wisdom teeth cause problems or are likely to cause future complications. By removing these teeth, patients can avoid various dental problems.
Key benefits of wisdom tooth extraction:
1. Preventing pain and discomfort
Eradulation of pain: Wisdom teeth can cause pain when they erupt or if they are touched. Extracting them removes this source of discomfort.
Pressure reduction: Wisdom teeth can put pressure on adjacent teeth, causing pain and dental misalignment. Removing them helps to avoid these problems.
2. Preventing infections and inflammations
Avoid infections: Partially bursting wisdom teeth create pockets in which bacteria can build up, leading to infections such as pericoronitis. Extracting them reduces this risk.
Reducing inflammation: The gums around wisdom teeth can become inflamed. Extraction prevents chronic inflammation.
3. Oral health
Caries prevention: Wisdom teeth, located in the back of the mouth, are difficult to clean properly, increasing the risk of cavities. Their extraction makes it possible to maintain better oral hygiene.
Adjacent dent protection: Wisdom teeth can damage adjacent molars. Their removal prevents the wear and decay of neighboring teeth.
4. Preservation of dental alignment
Orthodontic stability: For those who have undergone orthodontic treatment, wisdom teeth extraction can prevent tooth movement and maintain the alignment achieved.
Avoid affected teeth: Affected wisdom teeth can grow irregularly, affecting the overall dental structure. Extraction makes it possible to avoid these anomalies.
5. Improving the quality of life
Increased comfort: Eliminating pain and infections improves overall comfort.
Preventing future problems: Preventive wisdom teeth extraction can avoid more complex surgeries and complications in the future.
6. Systemic reduction of health risks
Reduction in the risk of pathologies: Untreated infections can potentially spread to other parts of the body. Extraction reduces this risk.
This procedure, while common, should be carefully studied and discussed with a dental health professional to ensure the best possible results for each patient. With appropriate care before and after the procedure, patients can benefit from a significant improvement in their quality of life and dental well-being.
Bone graft
Dental bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to increase the amount of bone in a part of the jaw that has lost bone or requires additional support. This technique is commonly used in dentistry to prepare the jaw for dental implants when the existing bone is insufficient to support an implant.
Frenectomies
A frenectomy is a surgical procedure that removes or changes the frenulum, a small fold of tissue, often found in the mouth, that can restrict the movement of the lips, tongue, or cheeks.
The benefits of frenectomy:
Linguistic mobility
Fixed language attachment issues: Frenectomy can treat ankyloglossia, also known as a “linguistic bond,” where a short lingual frenulum limits tongue movements. The release of the brake allows better mobility of the tongue, thus facilitating speech, swallowing and oral hygiene.
Correction of gum problems and bumps
Reduction of gum problems: A narrowing of the labial or lingual frenulum can cause gum recession, spaces between the teeth (diastemas) or positioning problems. Eliminating the brake helps to reduce these problems and promotes better gum and teeth health.
Improved oral aesthetics
Correction of cosmetic defects: Tight lip and lingual brakes can contribute to cosmetic defects such as spaces between teeth, a “gummy” smile, or facial asymmetry. Frenectomy can improve smile aesthetics by removing these constraints.
Future problems
Reducing the risk of oral trauma: Tight brakes can increase the risk of oral trauma in the event of a fall or accident, especially in children. Frenectomy reduced this risk by allowing greater mobility of the soft tissues of the oral cavity.
Biopsy
An oral biopsy is an essential medical procedure in dentistry that involves taking a small sample of tissue from the mouth for analysis. This technique plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of oral conditions, including precancerous lesions, tumors, infections, and other tissue abnormalities. Its main advantage is its ability to provide accurate information about the exact nature of the disease, allowing dental health professionals to make informed decisions about the best treatment approach.
Main points:
- Confirmation of diagnosis: An oral biopsy makes it possible to confirm or refute a preliminary diagnosis established on the basis of a clinical and radiographic examination.
- Differentiation of lesions: It makes it possible to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, thus influencing prognosis and treatment.
- Histopathological evaluation: Provides a detailed histopathological assessment of the tissue collected, guiding therapeutic decisions.
- Reduction in diagnostic errors: Oral biopsy minimizes the risk of misdiagnosis and ensures appropriate patient care.
- Early treatment: By rapidly identifying potentially serious conditions, it allows for early treatment, improving the chances of therapeutic success and recovery.
In conclusion, if you notice any unusual changes in your mouth, such as persistent sores, ulcers that don't heal, or any other symptoms that cause concern, it's essential to contact your dental health professional quickly. Oral biopsy is a valuable tool for establishing an accurate diagnosis and allowing appropriate treatment. Never ignore potential signs of oral problems and don't hesitate to schedule an appointment for a thorough evaluation if you have concerns.
