What is an extraction of eights?
Eights are the colloquial term for wisdom teeth. They represent molars, i.e. those located most at the back of the mouth. Very often it happens that the eighths erupt only partially or not at all – then we speak of so-called retained teeth, which have developed properly, but have not erupted. Eighths also erupt in an abnormal manner, so they can damage other teeth.
- Sixths are more vulnerable to caries, as their location makes daily care and cleaning significantly more difficult.
- Eights are considered a vestigial organ – there used to be a view that they should always be removed, but today this thinking is moving away.
- Typically, eighths are pulled out when they cause discomfort and discomforting pain, have been damaged by decay, or have developed an infection or inflammation within them..
Eight-eight extraction is a dental procedure in which a wisdom tooth is removed. Usually the eighth is removed using extraction forceps, and in the case of retained teeth it is necessary to make a surgical incision on the gum and later place sutures.
Are the eights removed under anesthesia?
Eight-eight extraction is performed using local anesthesia, and the procedure itself is completely painless. At Dentaxo dental clinic in Wroclaw, our qualified staff will make the procedure of removal of eights safe and comfortable.
Eight-eight extraction can be performed under anesthesia, that is, under general anesthesia. The procedure should be preceded by a consultation with an anesthesiologist, as not every patient can be put under anesthesia. The main contraindications to anesthesia are diseases of the heart, lungs, kidneys or nervous system.
Indications for removal of an eighth graft under anesthesia are:
- need to remove multiple teeth in one procedure.
- large anxiety, which the patient feels before the planned procedure
- conducting extraction of an eighth in a child, for whom a visit to the dentist is associated with great stress
- when local anesthesia is insufficient.
Extraction of eights in Wroclaw – what does the procedure look like?
he standard procedure before removing an eighth is an X-ray to see how deeply the tooth is hidden. Sometimes a CT scan is also needed, as the wisdom tooth can overlap nerves. The procedure itself is non-invasive and painless, but the patient may feel pressure.
- Eight-eight extraction is performed with local anesthesia.
- The dentist removes the periodontal ligament to then pull the tooth apart. He then pulls it out using extraction forceps.
- If the eighth is hidden, the dental surgeon makes an incision on the gum, and later puts stitches, which are removed after up to two weeks.
- To stop the bleeding, the dentist places gauze or a dental tampon in the patient’s mouth, which should be bitten into for 30 minutes after the procedure.
After surgery to remove an eighth, you may have difficulty speaking and swallowing, and feel numbness. Remember not to drink beverages or eat for 2 hours! In the initial phase after the extraction of the eight, you may experience pain. For other worrisome symptoms, such as fever, swelling or bleeding, contact your doctor immediately!
