Tooth extraction was not clean and there is a bone spur

It is impossible to predict what diseases may occur in a person’s lifetime. Although toothache is not considered a serious disease, the pain is really unbearable. Most people choose to extract a tooth to treat toothache. But for some people, unexpected things may happen when they have a tooth extracted. If tooth extraction is not done professionally, bone spurs may be left behind. What should I do if the tooth was not extracted cleanly and there is a bone spur?

1. Find a regular oral dental hospital and dentist. The dentist will take the initiative to ask about your condition, so that you can have a general understanding of your oral cavity. Then you should explain your condition truthfully and let the doctor know why all the teeth were not extracted completely. If you are allergic to any medicine, you need to inform the doctor. Then fill in the information and prepare for the next operation.

2. Take an X-ray first to see the specific condition of the tooth root, how many roots there are, and the shape of the root, so as to determine the intraoperative plan for tooth extraction and see whether the toothache is caused by the tooth root or the remains of the bone spur. If the apical one-third of the root is broken inside, the doctor will explain it to you clearly. If there is no inflammation, you can ignore it.

3. Next, disinfect the tools and start the operation. After the tooth is anesthetized, loosen it and then remove it with forceps. After the tooth is extracted, check whether the root is intact. If it is broken, use a root elevator to remove the broken root. Then apply hemostatic cotton balls to the extraction site, and finally deal with the extracted gums to completely remove tooth fragments. Finally, disinfect and suture or insert dentures.

4. Notes: Tooth extraction is strictly prohibited during pregnancy. Girls should tell their doctor during their menstrual period. They must eat something (bread and milk) before tooth extraction to prevent fainting during the extraction. They should rest for half an hour after the extraction before leaving the hospital. Also, they should pay attention to hot and cold foods in the few days after the operation, avoid spicy foods, and do not smoke or drink as they have a bad effect on wound healing.

5. Most of the bone spurs left after tooth extraction are wisdom teeth. Generally, if wisdom teeth are laterally impacted, it is difficult to extract them. If after removal it is determined that there is any residual part, it needs to be removed again.
