Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery

It is the branch of dentistry that deals with surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases; injuries and deformities of the oral and maxillofacial region. One of the most common procedures undertaken under Oral Surgery is tooth is Extraction of teeth at Ahuja Eye Centre and Dental Clinic. Although extraction is the last resort taken under Oral surgery, when all other possibilities of reviving the damaged or infected tooth are completely exhausted, and the only way ahead is removal of tooth from the socket.

Since these procedures can be quite painful, they are most carried out under the influence of a local anaesthetic in the affected region. Some people who are more sensitive to pain are given general anaesthesia to carry out the process of tooth extraction from their mouth. Another complication that may necessarily require an oral surgical procedure is Impactions. Impactions are nothing but the inability of the permanent tooth to erupt out of the gum in an expected time period. When this tooth fails to erupt in the usual expected time, it is exposed out by cutting into the excess tissues that may have been stopping it from coming out.

The procedures covered under this branch of dentistry include…

  • Tooth extractions with local anaesthesia
  • Tooth extractions with general anaesthesia
  • Impactions (Most commonly found with molars & Canines)
