Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This may be necessary when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved with other treatments and has to be removed. In some cases, tooth extraction may also be necessary to make room for orthodontic treatment, or to remove impacted wisdom teeth.
While tooth extraction may seem tricky for the patients, it is a routine procedure that is generally safe. In some cases, tooth extraction may even be necessary to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by dental problems
If you are experiencing pain, swelling, or other dental problems, it is important to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon to determine whether tooth extraction or other treatments may be necessary to alleviate your symptoms and maintain good oral health. Tooth extraction may also be required in cases where the tooth has a fracture or experiences trauma.
It is often a result of ignored dental decay which severely damages the teeth beyond repair where the extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums.
If there is not enough space in the mouth to accommodate all the teeth, extraction may be necessary to make room for orthodontic treatment or to prevent overcrowding.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, may become impacted and do not fully emerge from the gums, which can lead to pain, infection, and other problems.
If periodontal disease has caused irreversible damage to the teeth and surrounding tissue leading to mobile teeth, then extraction may be necessary to prevent further damage.
Teeth that are severely fractured or broken may need to be extracted, especially if they cannot be repaired with other treatments such as crowns or root canals.
Before the procedure, the dentist or oral surgeon will review the patient's medical history and take any necessary X-rays or scans to evaluate the tooth and surrounding structures.
