[EDINBURGH, 14 September 2015] - Edinburgh Dental Specialists, one of UK’s leading specialist referral and dental implant centres, provides a range of dental procedures, which include wisdom tooth removal. In particular, the dental practice treats patients with cases of impacted wisdom tooth.

A Focus on Impacted Wisdom Tooth

Often, there is not enough space in the mouth for the teeth to grow in a straight line, which emerges at odd angles to fill the available spaces. Teeth that grow through such manner are known as ‘impacted.’

According to Edinburgh Dental Specialists, tooth that has not grown straight, however, does not mean immediate removal. They particularly provide wisdom teeth extractions that involve the following cases:

• Unrestorable cavity
• Repeated episodes of pain from gum inflammation
• Development of cyst (bone cavity)
• Impossible cleaning due to cavity positioning

Previous patients have experienced comfort and relief from these after undergoing wisdom teeth removal from the dental practice.

Thorough Examination, Anaesthesia Options for Patients

During the procedure, the oral surgeon from Edinburgh Dental Specialists will examine patients thoroughly. They will provide additional x-ray information from CT scans or x-ray scanning to help in diagnosing the patient’s current problem and determine the best ways to manage the impaction.

Edinburgh Dental Specialists also offer various anaesthesia options for patients in need of extraction. Patients can choose local topical anaesthesia, which is applied to the gum tissue with a swab to minimise pain from injections. For those who prefer general anaesthetics, this can be arranged at the local Spire Murrayfield Private Hospital with the practice’s Dr Martin Paley.

A third alternative is intravenous sedation, which injects the sedative at the back of the patient’s hand. Patients who choose intravenous sedation will not only experience the calming effects of the procedure, but will also not remember the details of the procedure itself.
