What is Extraction Treatment?

Extraction treatment, commonly known as tooth extraction, is a dental procedure performed to remove a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Tooth extraction may be necessary for various reasons, including severe decay, advanced periodontal disease, trauma, overcrowding, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.
The extraction process typically begins with the dentist or oral surgeon administering local anesthesia to numb the affected tooth and surrounding tissues. In some cases, sedation may also be used to ensure the patient’s comfort and relaxation throughout the procedure.
Once the area is numb, the dentist will use specialized instruments, such as forceps or elevators, to gently loosen the tooth from its socket. The dentist may need to rock the tooth back and forth or apply gentle pressure to ease it out of the socket. In some cases, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal, particularly if it is impacted or has extensive decay.
After the tooth has been successfully extracted, the dentist will carefully inspect the socket to ensure that no fragments of the tooth or debris remain. The socket may be irrigated with saline solution to clean out any remaining debris or bacteria.
Depending on the reason for extraction and the patient’s oral health needs, the dentist may recommend various post-extraction measures, such as placing gauze over the socket to control bleeding, prescribing pain medication or antibiotics, or providing instructions for proper aftercare.
it is essential for patients to follow the dentist’s instructions for post-operative care to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. This may include avoiding vigorous rinsing or spitting, refraining from smoking or using straws, eating soft foods, and taking any prescribed medications as directed.

Reasons for Tooth Extractions

There are various instances where a tooth must be removed, including:
  • When a tooth is too damaged from trauma or decay to be repaired. Where possible, we will always recommend saving your natural teeth, but if extensive damage has occurred, extraction may be the only option.
  • When the mouth becomes crowded and a tooth must be removed to properly align the teeth or allow room for a tooth to break through the gum. This is often the case with wisdom teeth, making it necessary to get all four wisdom teeth extracted.
  • When a tooth is infected and antibiotics or root canal therapy are unsuccessful at treating the infection and saving the tooth.
  • When Periodontal Disease has caused loosening of the teeth.
