What is a tooth extraction?

The process where the tooth is removed from the gum is known as tooth extraction. Tooth extraction occurs for various reasons, like removing infected teeth, removing wisdom teeth if necessary, creating space for braces, etc.

Types

There are two main types of tooth extractions. They are as follows:

1.Simple

When the teeth are visible in the mouth and it is possible to extract a tooth without surgery, then the process is known as simple tooth extraction. This process is less painful compared to surgical treatment and depends upon the condition and location of the tooth.

2.Surgical

When the tooth is not visible and simple tooth extraction cannot take place, then the procedure is called surgical tooth extraction. Here, through surgery, the tooth from the gum is extracted, and it is a painful procedure. Surgical tooth extraction is necessary when the tooth has broken off at the gum and is impacted in the gums. Wisdom tooth extraction is done by a surgical process.

When is tooth extraction recommended?

When the patient is suffering from dental problems like infected teeth, painful or decayed wisdom teeth, extra teeth blocking, or other related issues, then the patient is recommended for the treatment of tooth extraction. Also, when the tooth is infected and infecting another tooth, it is recommended to extract the infected tooth from the gums. When wisdom teeth are having complications or blocking other teeth, then the extraction of wisdom teeth is suggested.

Who performs tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction is done by an experienced dentist or oral surgeon. The treatment is performed on the patients who are suffering from dental problems. Tooth extraction through a surgical process cannot be done by a general dentist. The total process should be under a specialist's eye who has experience for the safety of the patient.

Reasons for tooth extractions

Dental cavities

When the patient is suffering from dental cavities and the tooth is being infected from the cavities, then tooth extractions take place. It depends upon the percentage of the teeth that got infected. If the tooth is not much infected, then instead of extraction, trimming and removing cavities is enough to cure the teeth.

Gum disease

When a gum infection causes severe pain, tooth extraction may be necessary. Removing the infection after extraction is essential to treating gum disease and relieving discomfort.

Dental infections

Dental infection is a problem where the patient suffers from pain, bleeding, swelling, discharge, swollen glands, and other related problems. If the patient is experiencing any of these symptoms, then they should contact their dentist and get the tooth extraction treatment done if their dentist suggests it.

Trauma or injury to the tooth or surrounding bone

If there is any kind of injury to the tooth or surrounding place, then the patient should not ignore the problem and consult the dentist. If the dentist suggests tooth extraction, then the patient should not waste time and get the treatment done on time. These can be seen common in sports players like boxers, wrestlers, etc.

Wisdom teeth complications

It is necessary to go for tooth extractions if there is any kind of complications in wisdom teeth. When wisdom teeth are not growing properly or blocking other teeth from coming out, then wisdom teeth should be extracted from the gums to avoid infection. It may take a surgical process to get the treatment done.

Preparation for a dental prosthesis

Tooth extraction is also necessary for the preparation of dental prostheses. Getting tooth extraction treatment done on time is beneficial to avoid the spreading of infection.

Preparation for dental braces if the teeth are very crowded

If the teeth are very crowded and the patient has to apply dental braces, then the dentist suggests removing the tooth to meet the procedure of applying braces correctly.

Baby teeth not falling out at the proper age

If the baby's tooth is not falling out at the proper age, then tooth extraction is the solution to solve the problem. Tooth extraction is painful yet beneficial to remove dental problems.

Preparation

While going for the tooth extraction, you have to take care of some points, like eating well before the treatment as you cannot have anything after the treatment. Avoid wearing jewellery, and clean your mouth by brushing and rinsing.

Procedure

Before starting the treatment, the dentist gives an injection in the patient's mouth, resulting in numbing the mouth so that the patient cannot feel the sensation. After that, the dentist goes for the procedure to extract teeth. After extracting the tooth, the patient gets some stitches, which have to be removed after a week.

Aftercare

After tooth extraction, you should perform aftercare activities to take care of your teeth and gums. You should eat soft food and liquid food items; avoid chewing from the side where treatment is done. Avoid brushing and rinsing your mouth after the treatment for 24 hours.
