What Is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket. It is usually performed when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or impacted, or when there is overcrowding in the mouth.
There are two main types of tooth extractions:
1. Simple Tooth Extraction
✔ Performed on visible teeth that are easily accessible.
✔ A quick procedure using local anesthesia.
2. Surgical Tooth Extraction
✔ Required for impacted, broken, or deeply rooted teeth.
✔ Performed under local anesthesia with minor surgical intervention.
When Do You Need a Tooth Extraction?
You may need a tooth extraction if you experience:
✅ Severe Tooth Decay – When a tooth is too damaged for fillings or root canal treatment.
✅ Gum Disease – Advanced periodontal disease can cause teeth to loosen and require removal.
✅ Impacted Wisdom Teeth – When wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge properly.
✅ Tooth Infection or Abscess – If untreated, infections can spread and harm surrounding teeth.
✅ Overcrowding – Extraction may be needed before orthodontic treatments like braces.
✅ Trauma or Injury – If a tooth is severely broken or fractured beyond repair.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction Procedure?
Step 1: Consultation & X-Ray Examination
Our dentist will assess your tooth and take X-rays to determine the best approach.
Step 2: Anesthesia & Numbing
A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area and ensure a pain-free experience.
Step 3: Tooth Removal
Using specialized instruments, the dentist will gently extract the tooth while minimizing discomfort.
Step 4: Post-Extraction Care & Recovery
We provide aftercare instructions to ensure quick healing and minimal discomfort.
Post-Extraction Care Tips
🦷 Bite on Gauze – Helps control bleeding after the procedure.
🦷 Avoid Straws & Smoking – Prevents dry socket, a painful condition that delays healing.
🦷 Eat Soft Foods – Stick to soups, yogurt, and mashed foods for the first few days.
🦷 Use Cold Compress – Reduces swelling and discomfort.
🦷 Follow Your Dentist’s Instructions – Take prescribed medications as directed.
