Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. While dentists always aim to preserve natural teeth, there are situations where tooth extraction becomes necessary to maintain overall oral health and prevent complications. These situations include :
1. severe tooth decay
2. gum disease
3. impacted teeth
4. tooth trauma
5. orthodontic treatment
6. preparation for dentures.
The tooth extraction process begins with a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. Once the patient is comfortable and the area is numb, the dentist uses specialized instruments to gently loosen and remove the tooth from the surrounding ligaments and bone
Overall, tooth extraction is a safe and common dental procedure used to address various oral health issues and prevent further complications. If you have concerns about a problematic tooth or need a tooth extraction, consult with our professional dentists to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
