A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While dentists always strive to preserve your natural teeth, there are certain situations in which a tooth extraction may become necessary to maintain your overall oral health.
There are several situations where a tooth extraction might become necessary for the benefit of your overall oral health. Severe tooth decay or infection that extends to the pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels, may necessitate extraction when it can’t be treated with root canal therapy. Another common reason for tooth extraction is advanced gum disease, or periodontitis, which can lead to the deterioration of the supporting bone and tissues around the tooth. In some cases, a tooth may need to be removed to create space for proper alignment of other teeth, especially when the mouth is overcrowded. Also, when a tooth, often a wisdom tooth, is impacted and unable to emerge from the gum or develop properly, extraction may be required to prevent complications such as infection or damage to neighboring teeth.
What to Expect When Visiting the Dentist for a Tooth Extraction
At Woodhouse Dental, your comfort and well-being are our highest priorities. When you visit us for a tooth extraction, you can expect the following steps:
- Consultation and X-Rays: The dentist will discuss your situation, review your dental history, and take X-rays to determine the best course of action.
- Anesthesia: Before the procedure, the dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth to minimize discomfort. For more complex extractions or anxious patients, sedation options may be available.
- Tooth Extraction: The dentist will carefully loosen the tooth and remove it from its socket using specialized dental instruments.
- Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, the dentist will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for the extraction site and manage any discomfort.
