What to Expect During Cavitation Surgery

If you've been experiencing chronic jaw pain, unexplained health issues, or persistent dental discomfort after a previous tooth extraction or root canal, you might have what's known as a dental cavitation. Though often overlooked, cavitations are areas of dead or decaying bone in the jaw that can harbor harmful bacteria and toxins. Fortunately, cavitation surgery is a safe and effective procedure designed to remove these infected areas and promote healing.



At Tetrahealth, we specialize in advanced biological dental procedures, including cavitation surgery. If you're considering this treatment, here's what you can expect from start to finish.

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

The first step in the process is a thorough consultation. At Tetrahealth, we use advanced diagnostic tools such as 3D cone beam imaging and thermography to locate and evaluate potential cavitations. Many patients come to us after years of unexplained symptoms, so this evaluation is key to uncovering the root cause.

During this visit, your biological dentist will take a detailed medical and dental history and explain whether cavitation surgery is appropriate for your specific condition.

Step 2: The Day of Surgery

On the day of the procedure, you’ll be made as comfortable as possible. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases, sedation may be offered for patients who are anxious or undergoing multiple treatments.

Here’s what typically happens:

• A small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the cavitation site.
  
• The infected or necrotic bone is carefully removed.
  
• Ozone therapy is used to disinfect the area and eliminate any lingering pathogens.
  
• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), taken from your own blood, may be placed into the cleaned area to accelerate healing and support tissue regeneration.
  
• The site is then closed with sutures, if necessary.

At Tetrahealth, we use biological techniques throughout the entire procedure to minimize trauma and support your body’s natural healing process.

Step 3: Healing and Aftercare

After surgery, most patients experience mild to moderate swelling and discomfort for a few days. You’ll be given detailed post-op instructions, including dietary guidelines, oral hygiene tips, and any necessary supplements to support healing.



Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor recovery and ensure that your body is healing properly. Many patients report not only local improvement in the jaw but also relief from systemic symptoms they may have been experiencing for years.
