Visitor asks:
Hello,
I am going to have all four first molars extracted (treated teeth, granulomas have developed), and I would like to know whether, because of the abscess visible on the X-ray and already painful, the local anaesthetic might fail to work. Is recovery after extraction of first molars similar to recovery after wisdom-tooth extraction?
Thank you for your answer
Regards
Tamara

Dear Sir/Madam!
If, because of interfering factors (an abscess), it is inappropriate to administer anaesthesia next to the tooth (terminal infiltration anaesthesia), it can be replaced with a nerve block, which is administered away from the site of inflammation, directly beside the nerve that supplies the affected area. Recovery is similar to that after wisdom-tooth extraction.
Have a nice day!
