I’m not an expert, but my impression is that the ligament issue is pretty important and is what causes problems down the road.
In an article I found on Weston Price, here is what was said:
“The primary cause of these jawbone cavitations in extraction sites is the failure of the conventional dentist or oral surgeon to remove all of the periodontal ligaments when pulling a tooth. These remaining periodontal ligament pieces later act as a barrier to the creation of new blood vessels and, therefore, to the regrowth of new bone ”
“In these incomplete extractions, approximately two to three millimeters of bone will superficially grow over the socket area, but beneath the bone a hole, or cavitation, will remain (Figure 4). As described previously, the term for the degeneration of bone in these cavitation areas, osteonecrosis, is defined as the death of tissue due to poor blood supply.”
https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/dentistry/dental-cavitation-surgery/#gsc.tab=0I would do some more inquiry before pulling the trigger.
If you end up with cavitations as a result or wonder if you have them later, are you going to travel to see a biological dentist then to try to get cavitation surgery?
If it can wait another 6 months, see about
getting a dental insurance policy that will cover non-preferred dentists and get an estimate from the biological dentist you would travel to see for the cost of removing wisdom teeth properly.
From what I recall, there are 3 things the biological dentists do differently, but you will have to verify with the individual dentist:
1. Remove the ligaments with the wisdom teeth
2. Clean the site with ozone
3. Use platelet rich plasma to increase healing and blood flow to the site.
