Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 14, 2014 -- One of the most common dental procedures is the removal, or "extraction," of the human third molar—the "wisdom" tooth. While, in theory, wisdom teeth were once necessary for chewing fibrous vegetables, the human diet has changed over the years, and as a result, people today have generally smaller jaws. This causes the molars, which usually begin to come in between 17 and 25 years of age, to become "impacted," meaning there is not enough space for the teeth to line up behind the others, which can be problematic for dental health. Some people have four or more of these teeth, some have none.
TM Prosthodontics, a Miami dental implants dentistry continuum, has announced a complete procedure program available to treat and extract impacted teeth. In a few easy steps, Dr. Tal Morr, the head physician of TM Prosthodontics, takes patients through the process quickly and expertly.
First, Dr. Morr takes x-rays of the patient's jaw, and consults with them to inform them of how he will proceed. After this step, which might be an appointment on its own or may be done just before the actual surgery, Dr. Morr starts the procedure by enacting the chosen form of sedation. He then numbs the areas to be operated on with a local anesthetic.
Depending on the degree of "impaction," or penetration through the gums, Dr. Morr will make an incision to get to each wisdom tooth individually. The teeth are then loosened using special dental tools, and then gently removed. Finally, the dental surgeon will suture the area if necessary. The whole process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
Usually, recovery from a wisdom tooth removal surgery is only a few days, and will be accompanied by Dr. Morr's post-operative instructions.
