Christopher C. Babcock, MD, is a Surgeon at the Louisville Oral Surgery and Dental Implants institution in Louisville, Kentucky. Christopher C. Babcock, DMD, holds a Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville, where he completed a residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Dr. Chris Babcock's work responsibilities include dental extractions, treatment of oral pathology, placement of dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure that patients typically recover from quickly. Instances of food being stuck in one's wisdom teeth and gum infections are among the most common conditions which warrant wisdom teeth removal. Dentists conduct a preliminary dental x-ray to determine the qualified medical practitioner for the procedure. An appointment comes after. During the appointment, the specialist gives the patient an anesthetic to reduce the impact of the pain of removal. The specialist proceeds to cut through the patient's gum to find the wisdom tooth. However, this cut is not required if the tooth has already protruded through the gum. Once the specialist has identified the tooth, the tooth may be chipped off or moved forwards and backward prior to removal. Specialists typically conclude wisdom teeth removal within minutes. They often apply dissolving stitches to the affected area.
