Atraumatic extraction is a method that involves preserving the bone tissue that surrounds the tooth root. With this approach, the doctor does not use the previously popular technique of loosening with the use of physical force. The tooth is carefully sawn into several parts, the roots are separated and extracted separately. At the same time, it is possible to preserve the inter-root bone septum. This helps to reduce the healing time of the socket, prevent gum recession and bone atrophy.

Sedation is used if the patient:

• has contraindications to local anesthesia;
• there is a strong fear of the procedure;
• expressed vomiting reflex;
• no reaction to local anesthesia.

Medicated sleep is suitable for patients whose blood pressure rises sharply due to anxiety and whose heart rate is disturbed. Sedation is also used during complex procedures that take a long time. For example, removal of several wisdom teeth.

Contraindications to the use of sedation:

• Pregnancy;
• intolerance or hypersensitivity to the drugs used.

The duration of healing depends on the complexity of the operation. Normally, this process does not exceed 10 days. But the period can be shorter or longer.

You should not rinse your mouth with infusions and soda solution after tooth extraction. This not only does not speed up healing, but also creates a risk of infection in the wound. The reason is that a blood clot forms at the site of the wound. It protects against infection. Rinsing increases the risk that this clot will be damaged. The doctor tells you in detail about the proper oral care after tooth extraction. He gives individual recommendations depending on the complexity of the case.

At least once every six months. In case of wearing prostheses, implants or braces - every three months. Children under 14 years of age are recommended to undergo professional hygiene once a year, subject to careful home care.
