What is a Tooth Extraction and Why Do You Need One?

A dental extraction is the process of removing a permanent tooth from the socket in the jaw bone. An extraction is usually performed when a tooth can no longer be saved by root canal therapy. There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted, including:

Severe tooth decay
Infection
Injury
Broken tooth
Crowding
Impacted wisdom teeth

In addition, tooth extractions are often performed before a dental implant is placed. Dental implants can fill in the gaps of the missing teeth after extractions.

Types of Tooth Extractions

There are two types of tooth extractions: simple and surgical.

A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that can be seen in the mouth and is easily accessible. During this procedure, the dentist will numb the area of the affected tooth and use special tools to loosen the tooth before removing it. Recovery time for a simple extraction is usually a few days.

A surgical extraction is required when a tooth is not easily accessible, such as a tooth that has not fully erupted or a tooth that has broken off at the gum line. As oral surgery, this procedure is more complex and may require incisions in the gums and the use of specialized tools. Recovery time for surgical extractions can be up to a week.

Preparation for Dental Extractions

Before the tooth extraction process, you will have a consultation with your dentist to discuss the reason for the extraction and any concerns you may have. X-rays and examinations will be done to determine the best course of action.

You will be given instructions for before and after the procedure, such as avoiding certain medications or food.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the tooth removal procedure, you will experience some pain and swelling. Your dentist will provide you with pain management options and instructions for managing bleeding and swelling.

It's crucial to follow a soft diet and good oral hygiene practices to promote healing. You will also have follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
