Removal of wisdom teeth under anesthesia

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars and 8s, are often removed due to tooth decay or pulpitis. They are not involved in the chewing process because they are located at the end of the dentition. The main function of figure eights is to keep adjacent molars from moving apart. Removal of wisdom teeth is accompanied by pain, so the procedure is performed under anesthesia.

Indications for wisdom teeth removal under general anesthesia

General anesthesia for wisdom teeth removal is used to ensure the comfort and safety of the procedure for both the patient and the doctor.

Cerebral palsy and autism make it difficult for the patient to remain immobile during treatment. Anesthesia ensures that the patient does not make sudden movements, which is important to ensure the accuracy of the procedure.

Below are the main indications for the use of general anesthesia:

  • Complexity of the clinical case Sometimes wisdom teeth grow in hard-to-reach places or are misaligned, making them difficult to remove. Anesthesia allows the surgeon to quickly and accurately perform the operation, minimizing the risk to surrounding tissue.
  • Allergy to local anesthetics If the patient has hypersensitivity to the components of anesthetic drugs, general anesthesia becomes the optimal choice for pain relief.
  • Dentophobia (fear of dental procedures) General anesthesia helps the patient to completely get rid of anxiety before procedures and undergo surgical treatment without stress.
  • The need to remove several wisdom teeth at once Anesthesia facilitates the process, allowing you to complete all manipulations in one session.
  • Pronounced gag reflex General anesthesia is necessary to avoid nausea and vomiting during surgery.

Contraindications

There are a number of restrictions for removing wisdom teeth under general anesthesia:

  • Pregnancy. General anesthesia has a negative effect on the fetus, so pregnant women are given it only when absolutely necessary
  • Acute infectious diseases. An active infection in the body increases the risk of complications and slows down the recovery process after surgery
  • Exacerbation of chronic diseases (peptic ulcer, bronchial asthma, etc.). It is necessary to postpone surgical treatment until the condition has stabilized
  • Decompensated diabetes mellitus. Unstable blood glucose levels in patients can lead to serious complications during and after anesthesia
  • Cardiovascular diseases. Uncontrolled hypertension or heart failure significantly increases the risk of complications with pain management
  • Diseases of the ENT organs. Active inflammatory processes in the middle ear or sinuses can aggravate the condition, so their preliminary treatment is required
  • Epilepsy and recent traumatic brain injury. General anesthesia makes you feel worse or causes a relapse

Low hemoglobin levels in the blood increase the risk of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) in the tissues during surgery, making pain management riskier.

Pros and cons of different types of anesthesia for dental treatment

The choice of pain relief method depends on the specific situation and individual characteristics of the patient. Local anesthesia is the most common, but can cause anxiety due to fear of injections. General anesthesia ensures complete absence of pain, which is suitable for complex operations. Xenon sedation helps reduce anxiety, while the patient remains conscious and can interact with the doctor.
Type Application method When to use Alarm level Features of sensations
Local anesthesia Injections or applications to the gums For all cases: dental treatment, implantation, gum procedures High due to fear of injections The patient is conscious, feels pressure and movement
General anesthesia Intravenously or inhalation For complex cases: extensive surgical interventions, installation of implants, with panic fear Low during and after the procedure The patient does not feel or remember how the operation took place
Xenon sedation Inhalation before local or general anesthesia As an adjunct to general anesthesia for relaxation Medium, relaxation without loss of consciousness The patient is relaxed, but aware of what is happening, can answer the doctor’s questions
General information about the procedure

Stages of wisdom teeth removal under anesthesia

The following describes the main steps of wisdom tooth removal under anesthesia in Moscow at the K+31 clinic:

  1. Preparation for surgery. Involves a detailed history taking to ensure there are no contraindications or allergic reactions to anesthetics
  2. Administration of the drug. General anesthesia allows you to completely turn off the patient's consciousness to avoid pain during the operation
  3. Surgical intervention. As soon as the anesthesia begins to take effect, the doctor begins to remove the figure eight. If the tooth has fully erupted and does not have a complex root shape, it is carefully removed using forceps or elevators. In more complex cases, an incision in the gum or removal of part of the bone tissue is required to provide access to the roots of the tooth
  4. Treatment and closure of the wound. After tooth extraction, the hole is thoroughly washed with antiseptic solutions. To prevent infection, an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent is applied, after which the wound is sutured

At the final stage, a sterile cotton-gauze swab is applied to the wound. The doctor gives recommendations on oral care, prescribes antibiotics to prevent infectious complications and antiseptics for rinsing. The patient is also scheduled for an appointment in 2-3 days for examination and treatment adjustment if necessary.

Benefits of removing wisdom teeth “in your sleep”

Surgical intervention under general anesthesia in Moscow, often called “removal in a dream,” has a number of advantages:

Answers to popular questions

In this section, we have collected answers to frequently asked questions about wisdom teeth removal under anesthesia so that you can properly prepare for the upcoming treatment.

What tests must be taken before removing the figure eight under anesthesia?

The main method is radiography, in particular, orthopantomogram (OPTG), which gives a complete picture of the condition of the teeth. If necessary, the doctor prescribes a computed tomography scan. A blood test and ECG (if indicated) are also required.

How long does it take to recover after wisdom teeth removal?

Rehabilitation after removal of eights lasts from several days to two weeks. Complete tissue healing occurs within 7-14 days, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.

What complications are possible after removal?

After surgery, swelling and bleeding are normal and usually resolve within 2-4 days. Sometimes the procedure damages nearby teeth or nerve endings, causing temporary or permanent loss of sensation in the jaw and lips. There is also a risk of developing infection, especially if postoperative recommendations are not followed.

Is it always necessary to remove wisdom teeth?

A wisdom tooth does not always require removal. If it is healthy, has fully erupted, and does not interfere with neighboring teeth, it can be left. Otherwise, to avoid future problems with the bite and the health of adjacent teeth, it is recommended to remove the figure eight.

What does the K+31 dentist advise you to do after wisdom tooth removal?

After wisdom tooth removal, it is important to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations: avoid physical activity, do not eat hard and spicy foods, stop smoking and alcohol, and do not take hot baths. It is also important to maintain oral hygiene and take prescribed medications.

Prices for wisdom tooth removal under anesthesia at the K+31 clinic in Moscow are below average. All dental interventions are carried out using high-quality, painless methods using the latest expert-class equipment.

Thank you very much to Dr. Omar for the parental happiness that the doctor gave us!... Where and to whom we took Maxim... We had hysterics, both our Maxim and we were under enormous stress. In other clinics, doctors sang songs to him, danced and showed him all kinds of cartoons, everything was useless. They only told us to do general anesthesia..... And now we get to Dr. Omar.... MAGIC!!!.... Maksimka leaves the doctor with her teeth cured and makes an appointment to meet again as soon as possible!.... So we cured all our teeth with a smile and great gratitude. Every week he asks to meet with the doctor, just to see if new holes have appeared there..... DOCTOR FROM GOD!!!.... I wish there were more such doctors, not only for children, but also for adults. With great respect and love, your regular clients clinics (Zaitsev sisters, Tatiana and Elena)

My daughter had a sharp toothache and we urgently had to look for a pediatric dentist. They chose Anastasia Eduardovna. Examination revealed pulpitis. There were 2 options, removing the tooth or trying to save it. The doctor said that of course it’s better to try to save it. We treated our tooth in two visits. At the first appointment, everything was cleaned, a temporary filling was placed, and then we were observed for 2 weeks to ensure there were no complications. After 2 weeks we went to the doctor and got a permanent filling. We are very pleased with the attitude and quality of Anastasia Eduardovna’s work.

I went to Sergei Olegovich to remove my eights. The case was difficult: they did not erupt, grew strictly horizontally, sat deep in the gums, and even very close to the nerves. I was terrified of deleting them. First, I came to Sergei Olegovich for a consultation. He looked at my picture, immediately described all the nuances of the extraction, and advised me to remove the teeth under sedation, which I am very happy about. At the second appointment, I was put to sleep and I woke up without teeth and without memories of the operation. Sergei Olegovich described all the “side effects” of rehabilitation by day, when what will hurt and how, when there will be swelling and what to do in these situations. Everything happened exactly according to the timing that he predicted. Within a week, all the swelling went down and everything went away. I definitely recommend this doctor.
