Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are dental procedures in which one or more teeth are removed from the mouth. Here’s what you need to know about tooth extractions:
- Reasons for Extraction: Teeth may need to be removed due to severe decay, gum disease, damage, crowding, or other dental issues.
- Painless Procedure: Tooth extractions are typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.
- Aftercare: Following the procedure, your dentist will provide instructions for proper post-extraction care and healing.
- Replacement Options: In cases of extracted permanent teeth, your dentist can discuss options for tooth replacement, such as dental implants or bridges.
When Tooth Extractions Are Necessary
There are several situations that may require tooth extractions, including:
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is severely decayed and cannot be saved with a filling or crown.
- Gum Disease: In cases of advanced gum disease, tooth extractions may be necessary to preserve overall oral health.
- Orthodontic Needs: Tooth extractions may be part of orthodontic treatment to create space for proper alignment.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are impacted or causing pain often need to be extracted.
