Although tooth extraction is not a major operation, it is also a "moving knife" in the mouth, so patients need to balance their bodies in a good state, which is conducive to postoperative recovery. Details are as follows:

The day before tooth extraction, patients need to have a full rest to ensure adequate sleep; Of course, in order to ensure sufficient physical strength during tooth extraction, patients can set aside enough time on the way to the hospital and keep a calm mind to arrive at the hospital ... Although they are all small details, they can greatly alleviate the tension during tooth extraction, which is conducive to the smooth progress of tooth extraction.

Second, the diet is light

Under normal circumstances, patients cannot eat or drink water within two hours after tooth extraction. In order to ensure that patients are not hungry after tooth extraction, doctors will advise patients to eat some light and digestible food before tooth extraction, but don't eat too saturated and greasy food to avoid nausea and vomiting during anesthesia. In particular, some patients who need general anesthesia surgery should fast or even drink alcohol according to the doctor's advice before tooth extraction.

Therefore, if you are not hungry, eating some light and digestible food can make tooth extraction go smoothly.

Three. X ray examination

Many patients have questions: "I just came to have my teeth extracted. Why should I make a film? " In fact, it is necessary to take pictures before tooth extraction.

Teeth are like a tree. The exposed crown is only a part of the tooth body, and the important root part is buried under the periodontal tissue, which is invisible to the naked eye. Therefore, only through X-ray examination can the root and surrounding bone tissue be clearly seen. This is why doctors advise patients to take pictures before tooth extraction.

Through X-rays, doctors can clearly understand the condition of impacted teeth, the shape of root and the density of surrounding bone, so as to make a safer and more suitable tooth extraction plan and prevent the possibility of surgical failure as much as possible. Therefore, the film examination before tooth extraction is a very important step, which can not be ignored!

Fourth, preoperative communication

Before tooth extraction, doctors usually ask patients a series of questions, such as "Is blood pressure high?" "Do you have a history of heart disease?" "Do women have a pregnancy plan?" "Have you had your period?" And other problems (contraindications to tooth extraction have been popularized in previous articles, and readers can read them themselves). In the face of this kind of doctor-patient communication involving personal privacy, some patients will have resistance, which is actually unnecessary.

The purpose of doctor-patient communication before tooth extraction is to let the doctor fully understand the patient's condition so as to make a correct judgment. In addition, adequate communication can help patients understand the general process of surgery, possible sensory changes after local anesthesia, how to cooperate with surgery, and what may happen after surgery. Of course, talking with doctors before operation is just like "making friends", which can get familiar with each other and reduce the inner fear of patients, which is beneficial to the smooth and safe operation.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Other checks

In addition to the above points, the doctor will decide whether other tests, such as blood tests, are needed according to the patient's medical history and general situation. Do you need an electrocardiogram or something? In short, all the tests and requirements are based on the consideration of the potential safety hazards of patients' tooth extraction, and I hope everyone can understand.
