A wisdom tooth is a third, rudimentary molar that begins to erupt between the ages of 21 and 25. Many people do not have a wisdom tooth, but if it does begin to form, it is accompanied by characteristic symptoms. In the area of the wisdom tooth eruption, the gums may become inflamed and swollen, which is accompanied by pain, and in rare cases, fever. In such cases, the appropriate solution is to sign up for a wisdom tooth extraction.
Most domestic clinics offer their patients this procedure. However, very often the best result can be achieved when removing a wisdom tooth abroad. The fact is that foreign specialists have unique world-class qualifications that allow them to perform the operation most effectively using the most modern methods.
The consequences of wisdom tooth growth
The described discomfort is by no means the only reason to sign up for a wisdom tooth extraction. Its growth can cause a number of serious health problems.:
- malocclusion. When the wisdom tooth has nowhere to grow, when the jaws close, the interaction of the teeth is disrupted.
- damage to the adjacent tooth. It occurs due to the fact that the wisdom tooth exerts constant pressure on its "neighbor".
- pericoronaritis. This disease is expressed in the formation of a "gingival hood" over a teething wisdom tooth. The reason for this is the inflammation of the soft tissues caused by the activity of pathogenic bacteria. Food accumulates in the "hood", which significantly exacerbates inflammation.
- trigeminal neuralgia;
- tooth cyst. A liquid-filled cavity forms at the tip of the wisdom tooth root.
Timely removal of a wisdom tooth abroad will help to avoid all this. Moreover, the cost of the procedure, taking into account all its obvious advantages, is very moderate.
The course of the procedure
Wisdom tooth extraction abroad is carried out as follows.
The gum surface is carefully cut, then a small hole is made in the jaw. Innovative ultrasound instruments are often used abroad for this purpose. The tooth is removed (either completely or in fragments, depending on the size of the tooth), and a special healing drug is injected into the area of surgery.
How much does this procedure cost? Even in foreign clinics offering the highest quality of surgery, the price of wisdom tooth extraction is available – from 1000 rubles.
Types of operations
Exactly how the procedure will be performed is determined by the location of the wisdom tooth, which is being examined abroad for a preliminary X-ray examination. After that, a specific wisdom tooth extraction plan is drawn up. Abroad usually includes the following standard operations:
- removal of a retinated tooth. A retinated wisdom tooth is one that does not erupt, but remains under the gum surface.
- removal of a dystopian tooth. This operation is relevant if the tooth is incorrectly positioned.
- removal of a wisdom tooth with a severely damaged crown. It is a more complicated operation, since forceps cannot be used to extract the tooth. The dentist works with surgical instruments, which requires a lot of experience and accuracy.
