Why you may need a tooth extraction
There are a few reasons to consider tooth extraction. These may include severe oral infections, vertical tooth fractures, extensive dental cavities or even lack of space. Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most common dental extraction procedures.
If a tooth is damaged beyond repair, your dentist may recommend removing it. During a tooth extraction, the dentist surgically removes the problematic tooth. This procedure is permanent. In some cases, an assessment of whether the extracted tooth needs to be replaced will necessary, as the health of the surrounding tissue is critical. This calls for a proper assessment of the patient’s clinical situation. Our team is always happy to provide you with information and help you understand your case.
How is a tooth extraction performed?
Before performing a tooth extraction, the dentist will first complete a dental examination and teeth cleaning as well as a detailed radiological examination. A good assessment of the situation is essential. Most extractions are performed under local anesthesia and require the expertise of an experienced dentist. In all cases, proper planning and consideration of the patient’s general health is required.
When one or more teeth are extracted, most patients feel slight pressure, but no pain, thanks to the effectiveness of anesthetic and analgesic drugs.
It is important to remember that a tooth extraction is first and foremost a surgical procedure. Some discomfort is normal after such a procedure. Following the postoperative advice carefully will minimize bleeding, inflammation and infection.
Advice for the postoperative follow-up
The level of discomfort after a tooth extraction usually varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Any surgery, even a minor one, can cause bleeding, pain, inflammation, discomfort and even infection that may need to be treated with an antibiotic. This is normal and should not be cause for alarm.
