Mobile Teeth can
either be extracted ,replaced or they can be splinted. The
procedure to be performed depends upon the extent of Mobility.
The procedure is done mostly under Local Anesthesia but if need
be it is done under General anesthesia under the guidance of a
certified anesthesiologist.
Pain is always an issue in dentistry, and fear of pain is
one of the major reasons why patients fail to seek help from a
dentist. They may be terrified when they sit in the chair, but
as soon
as we makes them numb, they are so relieved, that they
sometimes fall asleep. They
discover almost immediately
that--surprise--the shots are not very painful.
Generally, the anesthesia works very well with just one standard
shot. The
anesthesia is very PH sensitive. It works well in alkaline
environment.
However inflamed tissue (red, swollen
and painful) tends to be acidic in nature and in an acid
environment, the nerve fibers look
to the anesthesia molecules like they
are coated with wax and thus diffusion into the
fibers is very slow.
In order to overcome this difficulty, we use a LOT more
anesthesia
than we do if you are not already in pain when you
present for treatment. |
