Why Tooth Extraction May Be Necessary

Common Indications

Crowded teeth
Severe tooth decay
Risk of infection due to gum disease
Cracked roots that cannot be repaired

What to Expect

An X-ray is taken to plan the extraction. You may feel pressure during the procedure, but local anesthesia ensures little to no discomfort. Stitches may be placed after removal to support healing.

Types of Tooth Extractions

Simple Extraction

A visible tooth is loosened and removed by a dentist using local anesthesia. Recovery is typically quick with minimal discomfort.

Surgical Extraction

Performed when a tooth is broken, impacted, or not fully erupted. The dentist or oral surgeon may remove surrounding bone or divide the tooth into sections for safe removal. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort.

Step-by-Step Tooth Extraction Process

1. Preparation: An X-ray is reviewed and anesthesia is administered.

2. Access: For surgical extractions, minor incisions may be made to reach the tooth.

3. Extraction: The tooth is gently removed, sometimes in sections if impacted.

4. Cleaning & Closure: The socket is cleaned, and stitches may be placed.

5. Healing: Gauze helps clot formation; aftercare instructions are provided for recovery.
