Dental Clinic
  • With the prevalence of dental phobia
    (dentophobia, dental phobia, dental anxiety,
    odontophobia) reported as high as 75, a dental
    clinic should be a place that increases ease and
    comfort for its patients.
  • Poor dental health has been linked not only to
    bad breath and cavities but to other conditions
    such as cardiovascular issues and even pre-term
    labour. Consequentially, good dental health is
    not just a goal in and of itself it is part of
    overall health.
  • Dentists often focus on different areas. Some
    clinics specialize in cosmetic dentistry such as
    implants, whitening, and bonding. Many adults are
    now seeking orthodontics, and there are many
    options including wireless corrections. Still,
    others focus on only childrens dentistry.
    Conversely, some individuals may try a family
    practice that sees both adults and children. If
    gum disease is an issue a clinic that offers
    periodontal focus will be needed.

All You Need To Know About Your Wisdom Teeth
Removal
  • Anaesthesia
  • Before the specialist surgeon undertakes a wisdom
    teeth removal, youll first be put under a local
    anaesthetic injection to numb the surrounding
    areas of the teeth. If you happen to be a bit
    more anxious about the operation, the dentist
    might decide to give you a sedative so that to
    help you relax. This is done by the doctor
    injecting you on the arm. Dont worry about
    general anaesthetic. Its not necessary, what you
    need is your wisdom teeth removed and you will
    complete the process on the same day.
  • Wisdom teeth removal process
  • If it happens that your wisdom teeth are yet to
    emerge from the gum, a small incision will be
    done around the gum to access the teeth. The
    section of the bone covering the teeth might need
    to be cut. The tooth too can also be reduced into
    smaller parts to make the entire process very
    easy to remove via the opening. However, there
    will be no need to make an incision if its found
    out that the tooth has broken through the gum.

All You Need To Know About Your Wisdom Teeth
Removal
  • After the Surgery
  • Once the dentist is done removing your wisdom
    teeth, they will dissolve the stitches to seal
    the gum. Your dentist will remind you how long
    the stitches might take to disappear. Usually, it
    can take between 7-10 days. In some cases, the
    dentist might go ahead to place a gauze in the
    extracted part and ask you to apply some little
    pressure by biting your jaws together for like an
    hour.
  • 24 hours after a wisdom teeth removal you must
    avoid
  • Drinking alcohol as well as smoking
  • Taking hot liquids such as soup
  • Rinsing your mouth with hot liquid.

    recently or on a regular or usual basis
    (vitamins, supplements and the like)
  • List down all questions you have about wisdom

Wisdom Teeth Removal What You Need to Know
Before, During and After the Procedure
  • During Wisdom Teeth Removal
  • Local
  • The surgeon will numb your entire mouth with a
    shot of anaesthesia in your gums. Breathing
    laughing gas or nitrous oxide can also be used as
    an option to relax or doze you off while on
    surgery. Alertness can be achieved just in a
    brief time.
  • IV sedation
  • This option will make your mouth numb and gives
    you a drug through a vein into your arm to put
    you in a drowsy state. You might feel sleepy or
    sleep entirely during the entire procedure.
  • General
  • You will either be asked to breathe gas through a
    mask or get drugs through your vein. You will be
    sleeping the entire wisdom teeth removal and will
    wake up probably after an hour or right after the
    surgery.

Wisdom Teeth Removal What You Need to Know
Before, During and After the Procedure
  • After Wisdom Teeth Removal
  • The response of anaesthesia differs to everyone.
    Some can drive home right after the wisdom teeth
    removal, but some cannot. It is best advised that
    you ask someone else to drive you home and start
    your recovery.
  • Some may have little pain others may experience
    no pain after the wisdom teeth removal. You might
    have mild discomfort and swelling for two days or
    so and needs weeks to recover completely. Make
    sure to follow your doctors instructions on the
    medications you should take and things you can
    and cannot do that may impact your recovery.

Dental Clinics What You Should Know
  • How often should a person visit the dentist?
  • A person should visit the dentist regularly every
    six months. Doing this will help you to prevent
    future problems. Some of the issues that a
    dentist will look for will be the early signs of
    plague and even oral cancer. Many bad habits can
    cause severe issues in the future. Such as
    chewing ice, biting your nails or grinding your
    teeth. Eating hard or sticky candy can leave
    sugar on your teeth and gums that will break down
    the enamel and weaken your teeth. The same thing
    can happen if you brush too hard. Brushing too
    hard with cause your gums to bleed and tear. One
    of the worst habits you can do is smoke. Smoking
    not only can cause lung cancer but it can turn
    your teeth yellow, gum disease and even cause
    your teeth to fall out.
