Having a tooth extracted is a nerve-wracking procedure regardless of age. Teeth Sectioning is an easier form of removal. Drs. Joseph Dallessandro and Jiah Choi offer it to our patients in the New York, NY, area. The soon-to-be extracted tooth is broken into multiple sections. This makes it easier to remove and requires less force. Contact our office to learn more!
Your New York dentists may recommend teeth sectioning for a few different reasons. Certain teeth may prove to be difficult. Some are unique and are multi-rooted. Impacted wisdom teeth are another example. They are larger by nature, making them prime candidates for sectioning. Sectioning provides a faster recovery time and needs less force. This makes it the best option for pediatric extraction.
The procedure begins with Drs. Dallessandro or Choi applying a local anesthetic to the area. General anesthesia is used in certain cases. The pulp and nerve are severed for the tooth removal. A dental drill breaks the tooth into pieces. Water is continually flushing out the area, removing bone chips and fragments. Finally, they removed the sectioned pieces. Your dentist will stitch up the area.
The entire procedure produces minimal amounts of pain. One of the major benefits of sectioning is that it requires less force, resulting in less pain. A smaller wound also means a quicker healing time. Follow the instructions given by your New York dentists. Doing so prevents your stitches from tearing. Use over-the-counter pain medication or prescription medication to manage your pain levels.
