What should I do if my second molar falls out?

Intraoral dental implants are suitable for one or more missing teeth. First, the patient needs to undergo a routine oral examination, take X-rays, take impressions for analysis, and determine the implant surgery plan. The patient must not have blood diseases, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, etc. Implantation generally requires two stages of surgery. The first stage is to make an incision at the site of the missing tooth after local anesthesia and disinfection, use a ball drill to locate the alveolar bone, drill a hole, and insert the implant to form a bony bond between the implant and the bone. This operation involves placing the implant and covering screws into the alveolar bone and tightly closing the soft tissue wound. It will take 4-6 months for the implant to heal. The second stage of surgery is to replace the screw cap with a healing abutment at the implant site. The healing abutment is exposed in the oral cavity and takes about a month. After the healing abutment is placed in the mouth for a month and the epithelial cuff is formed, the mold can be taken and the porcelain tooth can be made. About a week later, after the missing tooth is tried on, it can be formally bonded. At this point, the overall work is completed.
