Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from the jawbone or gum. Tooth extraction is usually necessary for various reasons.

What are the Reasons for Tooth Extraction?
Decay:

A tooth that is severely decayed is usually extracted. Because decayed teeth are usually not curable and can damage surrounding tissues.

Periodontal disease:

Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums and surrounding tissues. If left untreated, gum disease can progress and lead to tooth loss.

Trauma:

Teeth may have been damaged as a result of an accident or impact. Damaged teeth may need to be extracted.

Cramped teeth:

Cramped teeth usually occur when teeth do not come out correctly. In this case, the stuck tooth may need to be extracted.

Tooth placement or orthodontic treatment:

In some cases, tooth extraction is necessary for proper alignment of teeth or orthodontic treatment. Tooth extraction can help other teeth move or make room.

Tooth extraction is usually performed by a dentist or dental surgeon. Local anesthesia is applied to prevent pain and the tooth is extracted. A recovery period is usually required after the procedure and special care is recommended until the extraction site has healed properly. In case of any problems or complications that may occur after tooth extraction, it is important to consult a dentist.
