When you turn to our "Warsaw" Dental Center in Vinohradar, you can be confident in the accuracy of the diagnosis and the implementation of effective and safe treatment for inflammations. We employ reliable pain management techniques, modern surgical procedures, certified materials, and medications. The surgical treatment approach is determined by the type and stage of inflammation.
Excision of Hood
Sometimes, to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence, only about 15-20 minutes of our surgeon's work are needed. For uncomplicated pericoronitis, for instance, the surgeon simply excises a part of the inflamed tissues. The working area is anesthetized beforehand. After the procedure, the patient can return home immediately.
Incision of Abscess
Parodontal abscess typically develops due to gingivitis, periodontitis, or periodontosis. Less commonly, it results from trauma or chemical burns. The surgical treatment involves drainage and removal of purulent exudate. If the inflammation is uncomplicated, sutures are not necessary.
Phlegmon Removal
This refers to a complex infectious inflammation of the oral and facial tissues. Disease-causing bacteria like streptococcus and staphylococcus are often the culprits. During the surgical intervention, the dental surgeon:
- opens the infectious focus;
- removes the affected tissue;
- performs root resection (if necessary);
- installs drainage (to ensure pus drainage);
- closes the wound;
- applies a dressing.
Surgical Treatment of Periodontitis
Flux operation is indicated for a complicated form of periodontitis. The procedure is standard – after numbing the working area, the dentist makes an incision in the gums, removes the pus, and installs drainage. To determine the cause of inflammation development after the operation, the patient is sent for an X-ray. Subsequently, the dentist decides on the possibility of tooth preservation.
Postoperative Recovery Period
If sutures were applied during the surgery, the patient should visit the dentist 5-7 days after the procedure for their removal. The dentist will remove the sutures and assess the condition of the healing tissues. During the recovery period, it is important to follow simple medical recommendations:
- do not eat until the anesthetic effect wears off;
- apply an ice pack to the cheek for the first day after the intervention (15-20 minutes several times a day);
- opt for room temperature liquid and soft food;
- brush teeth on the second day after the surgery, using a toothbrush with soft bristles;
- avoid alcohol, overly salty, spicy, and acidic foods;
- limit physical activity;
- avoid saunas, steam rooms, tanning beds, and swimming pools;
- use recommended dentist-prescribed antiseptic solutions and preparations.
Initially, after the intervention, the patient may experience moderate pain, swelling, and redness of the mucous membrane. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days.
Cost of Surgical Treatment
The price of services at the "Warsaw" Dental Center depends on the type of inflammation, the stage of the pathological process, and, accordingly, the applied techniques, materials, and medications. To find out the exact cost of treatment, we recommend scheduling a preliminary consultation with a dentist. Appointments can be made by phone or through the clinic's website.
