Oral Surgery in Hellesdon, Norwich

General Dentistry » Extractions/Oral Surgery

Our area of speciality within dentistry is known as oral surgery and this applies to procedures of a surgical nature, such as the extraction of teeth or wisdom teeth. Oral surgery requires additional training in techniques to perform procedures with care, helping patients to be able to use their teeth and mouths again.

If you have advanced tooth decay or an impacted wisdom tooth, you may require oral surgery to have them safely extracted. Depending on your particular case and the severity of your problem, you will be given anaesthetic and offered sedation if you are anxious.

It is important to get the advice of a dental professional if you are concerned about any areas of your teeth. Never attempt to pull out your own tooth out at home as this could cause serious problems for you. Dentists have the right equipment and sterile environment in which to perform this type of procedure with the utmost care and your recovery period is quicker. In the case of wisdom teeth extractions you may have some swelling after the procedure and discomfort that can be eased with over the counter painkillers.
