No, I have the same problem, you can either have it taken out altogether and have a fake tooth put in, or you can have the adult tooth brought down with braces. So far the braces thing isn't so bad, fyi. I have surgery tomorrow to expose my adult tooth. But I asked the same question, and the answer was no for me.
In addition to considering the cost of such a procedure, you need to think about the considerable hygiene issue you're suggesting. How do you plan on eating food with such hardware present? How do you plan on effectively cleaning such hardware? From Muse314159 - Chicagoborn, this is an oral surgery procedure. It is not a cosmetic or body jewelry question. The canines might be impacted, and there is a procedure to cut (expose) the cuspids, attach a gold button to each tooth, and a small chain that is then connected to the rest of the stuff. A small elastic thread is fixed through a loop on the chain, and as the cuspid is pulled into position, the thread is moved up to the next link and the dangling link cut off. Once the tooth is in position, it can be aligned for the rest of the orthodontic treatment. I've heard everything from $1500 per tooth on up to expose and ligate (add the bracket and chain).
The extraction of a tooth is classified as oral surgery.
Unless it is an emergency, you should not have any kind of surgery with any kind of infection. Talk to the doctor about getting the tooth infection and perhaps even the cause of the infection, cleared up before scheduling your hysterectomy. If the surgery needs to be done immediately, it is important the doctor know about the tooth infection prior to the surgery.
Extraction is numbing your area and pulling your tooth. Surgery is having incisions and usually be put out to get teeth out.
That is the nature of that particular type of surgery. It will heal.
you have to
Yes.
Getting a tooth pulled is like getting a shot.
They do it via a surgical operation. They will cut some of the gum and pull the tooth down. After the operation, they will attach a chain to the tooth and a brace. I'm having this operation in a few months.
getting your tooth pulled is like being injected with a needle.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. It is an outpatient surgery, and, yes, scalpels and needles are used. Many choose a general anesthetic.
