Tooth Extraction Process
Impacted lower 3rd molars resulting in decay on 2nd molars as well as localized bone loss (periodontal disease). This patient’s swelling and pain comes and goes from time to time. If left untreated, Ludwig’s Angina can ensue causing air way constriction, bacteremia, septic shock, and death.
With local anesthesia and sedation, removal of teeth is usually a one hour in-office procedure. The longer it is delayed, the more problems will arise, which could include damaging or shifting perfectly good teeth. Make an appointment soon for yourself or your teen to see where the problem teeth are in relation to the rest of the upper and lower jaw. The dentists at the Placerville Dental Group have the experience and knowledge to deal with these issues. Sometimes, taking them out is the smartest thing to do, and without delay!
