Tooth Extraction

TOOTH EXTRACTION

As dentists we are trained to always look at every possible option for saving your natural teeth, and pulling teeth is never our first choice. Unfortunately, however, that’s not always possible.
In those cases, we will perform an extraction.  In order to save an adult tooth, we may consider using fillings and sealants, or if there’s nerve damage, a root canal may be an option. But if decay extends too deeply under the gum, severe periodontal disease is present, the tooth is cracked, or an infection cannot be resolved, a tooth extraction is recommended as the best option. 

What Happens During a Tooth Extraction?

In the beginning we are going to check how is situation of the tooth is if it can be restorable so we are going to restore it with filling or root canal treatment ,if not possible to be treated we are going to evaluate the tooth position, root formation and shape of the root trough taking xray for the tooth will be extracted and the adjacent structure.

After that anesthetize the site of extraction till the patient feel with numb , After that we can proceed for the extraction with out any pain.

During the extraction procedure you will not feel any pain but you might feel discomfort resulting from the slight pressure will be done. 

What happens After a Tooth is Removed ?

The first 24 hours after extraction are the most important time while in this time the blood clot will be formed and start the healing process to form a new bone so we avoid to use any hard food or hot food and drinks and also we avoid the spitting or rinsing the mouth strongly to avoid the blood clot to get out from the socket , if that happen will result in dry socket which will leave you in pain ,but if that happen you need to visit us again in Implant dental clinic to treat this situation easily .
