What is a dental tooth extraction and why might you need one?
A dental extraction is the complete removal of a tooth. It can be performed for a variety of reasons, but the most common reasons are:
- A crowded mouth
- Infection or severe tooth decay
- Risk of infection
- Broken teeth that cannot be repaired
- Impacted teeth (poorly position teeth)
- In preparation for orthodontic treatment
What is the Process of a Tooth Extraction?
Your dentist will first numb your tooth, jawbone, and gums that surround the area with a local anesthetic. Then the tooth will be firmly rocked back and forth in order to widen the socket for removal and loosen the tooth. It is then gently lifted out of the mouth. You will feel the pressure without pain as the tooth is slowly removed.
What to Expect After a tooth is removed?
Every case is different, and your dentist will review what to expect. In general, it is completely normal to feel some discomfort after the freezing wears off. Taking pain medication as advised by your dentist can help with any pain, as can ice packs applied on the outside of your cheek where the extracted tooth is.
