hello i have an abcess in my front teeth and have got to go for surgery in hospital to have a Apiectomy what does this entail and what do they do i am very worried has anyone had this and what can i expect
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
In regards to your apicoectomy, it will require that the doctor numb up the area in which there is an infection. Your doctor will make a small incision on your gum and access the bottom (root tip) of the tooth to remove the infection in that area, place a filling material in it and then suture you up after the procedure. You shouldn't have too much post-operative pain and will heal up very quickly. This procedure is probably more comfortable and easier than getting your wisdom teeth out.
Hope that helps.
