Some situations call for a surgical procedure: a poorly positioned wisdom tooth, a tooth too damaged to save, or a residual root. Others fall under periodontics: treating gums that bleed, recede or loosen the teeth.
At Centre Dentaire Medina in Tangier, these treatments are performed under local anaesthesia, with one clear priority: your comfort before, during and after the procedure.
Oral surgery at the clinic
The doctor assesses each situation with the necessary X-rays and explains the procedure before any intervention:
- Simple extractions of teeth that cannot be saved
- Wisdom tooth extraction
- Removal of residual roots
- Minor soft-tissue procedures, when indicated
Periodontics: caring for your gums
Gums that bleed when brushing are not normal: it is often the first sign of gingivitis. Left untreated, the inflammation can reach the bone supporting the teeth (periodontitis) and cause them to loosen.
Treatment starts with thorough cleaning (scaling, root planing if needed) together with a personalised hygiene routine. Regular follow-up keeps the situation stable over the long term.
After an extraction: simple recovery
You leave with clear, simple instructions (diet, hygiene, what to avoid in the first days). The doctor remains reachable if you have questions, and a follow-up visit is scheduled when needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is a tooth extraction painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia and is not painful. Recovery is usually straightforward if post-operative instructions are followed; the doctor prescribes what you need for your comfort.
My gums bleed when I brush — is it serious?
It is a sign not to ignore: bleeding usually indicates inflammation caused by plaque and tartar. Caught early, treatment is simple and effective. See a dentist before it gets worse.
