Can impacted teeth be extracted in the presence of acute infection?
In general, such a procedure In this case, it is preferred not to shoot. In the case of acute infection, this infection can spread and become more serious. Infection should primarily be controlled with oral hygiene practices and antibiotics. As you wait for your tooth to be extracted, the number of problems that may occur increases. Because with age, the bone tissue around the tooth becomes more dense and the extraction of the tooth becomes difficult. The healing process is slowing down. Depending on the size, shape and position of the tooth, extraction can range from simple to complex surgery. After a simple extraction, there is usually a small amount of swelling, pain and bleeding. After a more complicated procedure, there may be more swelling, pain and bleeding. Therefore, listen carefully to the information your doctor will give you after the operation. Read it and apply it. After the extraction, a condition we call "alveolitis" may occur. This is a painful condition that lasts for several days and is caused by not enough blood clot forming in the extraction space. If you experience intense pain and bad breath after the procedure, consult your doctor.
