Endodontic Surgery
This type of surgery involves any type of surgical procedure
performed on the pulp (or root) of a person’s tooth. For example, in root canal
therapy, the dentist opens up the pulp chamber of the tooth to drain pus,
liquids, acidic formations from food particles, and other agents that cause
tooth decay. Another endodontic process involves the removal of the pulp from
the pulp chamber to ease pain for a temporary period of time.
Prosthodontic Surgery
This involves the creation, fitting and wearing of artificial
dental pieces to correct a person’s teeth problems. Some examples of
prosthodontics include crowns, bridges, dentures and veneers. Prosthodontic
surgery is usually done on people who have taken considerable dental damage
that cannot be corrected anymore by conventional surgery.
In many cases, a dental implant such as titanium is inserted
surgically in the dental bone (also called the mandible or maxilla). After a successful
operation, the tooth is allowed to heal for a considerable length of time.
Sometimes it takes up to six months for a tooth to fully heal from a titanium
implant.
Orthodontic Surgery
Some of the procedures that fall under the orthodontic
category are tooth extraction and wisdom teeth removal using sedatives. Other
processes include apiectomy and fiberotomy.
Depending on the type of dental problem you have or the extent
of the damage and decay on your tooth, a professional dental care practitioner
may recommend various alternatives for tooth surgery. It is important that you
listen carefully to what your dentist is recommending and trust his or her
professional judgment. Try to overcome your fear and think of the dental
process in an objective manner.
