Costa Rica Dental Surgery

Costa Rica Dental surgery is a phrase that strikes fear in many people. The thought of needing oral surgery brings up many questions: what is it that you will get done, where to do it and what information you should know about the procedure before getting it done. Dentists' offices have never been high on the popularity list of places we love to be in, so making the right choice can be a step in the direction of a pleasant oral surgery. You may need to visit an implant surgeon, a cosmetic dental surgeon, or an oral surgeon depending on the necessary procedure. Oral surgery may be necessary if wisdom teeth are coming out, when you need dentures placed, in case of an oral pathology, if there are fractures or problems with your jaws, if you need chin implants and if you have TMJ or mandible joint issues. Wisdom teeth are the third molars that grow in our jaws, and not everyone has them or needs to take them out. It is recommended for the wisdom teeth to be extracted when they only partially erupt, when they are poorly aligned and there's a chance that they could damage adjacent teeth, or when a cyst (fluid-filled sac) that grows around the tooth forms and destroys the roots and other bone structures. Sometime the mouth is just too small to accommodate the wisdom teeth and they begin growing sideways or they are completely covered in bone, when the teeth cannot erupt completely or when they erupt in a diagonal or sideways, or when the flap of gum tissue covering partially the third molar traps bacteria under it and has the risk of generating an infection.

Where to perform the oral surgery is also a concern. Expensive office visits and long waiting periods to get an appointment are one of the principal reasons of why more and more people are coming to Costa Rica for their Costa Rica dental surgery.

As always, communicate thoroughly with your dentist. He or she is the one who will have the most accurate information regarding your specific condition and the procedures that will work out the best for you. Although tooth removal and oral surgery make many nervous, the healing process can be made less uncomfortable by following simple directions for care of the wound. After tooth extraction and other surgical procedures, bleeding is to be expected. The dentist will put gauze over the wound and ask you to bite down on it. This gauze should be replaced after 45 minutes for a total of 1.5 hours. If there is still bleeding after this, repeat the process. Some pain and discomfort is normal after Costa Rica dental surgery. Over the counter analgesics should help you minimize discomfort if taken with water. It is not recommended to rinse your mouth, spit or use mouthwash after Costa Rica dental surgery since there needs to be a time period in which a blood clot needs to form to protect your sutures and wound, if this clot is removed it may lead to greater pain. For the external swelling, place a bag of ice covered with a towel on the side of your face: keep it on for 20 minutes, remove for 10. Repeat this cycle as necessary. Eating soft foods and lots of fluids is the best diet following oral surgery. Avoiding hot food and liquid, as well as smoking is also strongly recommended. If the teeth removed from your mouth had not erupted yet, but were impacted, moderate to severe pain can be expected, so speak to your dentist about the different treatments and care you use for your wound.
