What Is Dental Surgery?
Dental surgery is a medical procedure performed by a dental surgeon to treat conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaws or other structures of the mouth. Surgery is a discipline that encompasses a wide range of procedures, from tooth extractions to the placement of dental implants, as well as interventions such as gum grafts. Surgical care can be provided for preventive purposes, or to halt the development of certain conditions.
Consult us for your dental surgery needs at one of our dental clinics in LaSalle, Pointe-aux-Trembles, Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Châteauguay or Town of Mount Royal.
How to Prepare for Dental Surgery
Here are a few important tips to help you prepare for dental surgery:
- Pre-Surgery Consultation: Discuss your medical history and medications with your dentist. Follow his or her instructions carefully, and don't hesitate to mention any concerns you may have.
- Follow the fasting instructions and take any medication prescribed in the pre-operative phase.
- Organization: Arrange for transportation and a post-surgery rest area, as well as liquid or chewable food.
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain very good oral hygiene in the days leading up to surgery.
- Alcohol and Tobacco: It is best to limit consumption before surgery and during the healing phase, to avoid impairing the healing process.
Wisdom Teeth
These teeth, growing at the very back of the mouth, are often problematic, either because of their positioning or the way they erupt. That's why their extraction is recommended in many cases, both to prevent future problems and to remove teeth that are already causing problems for the patient.
Gum Graft
Gum grafting is a common surgical procedure to treat and prevent gingival recession. Gingival recession is the progressive retreat of gum tissue from the roots of certain teeth. Exposure of the roots can lead to hypersensitivity and the risk of cavities. At the Dentist, we offer connective tissue grafting and free autogenous grafting.
