About Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is a common dental surgical procedure performed to remove a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically considered when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding. The procedure is performed by a dentist or oral surgeon under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort. For simple extractions, the tooth is loosened and removed with forceps. Surgical extractions involve making a small incision in the gum to access teeth that are impacted, broken at the gum line, or have complex root structures. This routine procedure is crucial for alleviating pain, preventing the spread of infection, and preparing the mouth for further dental treatments like orthodontics or implants. Post-operative care is essential for proper healing and to minimize complications.

Advanced periodontal (gum) disease causing loosening of the tooth.
Impacted teeth, commonly wisdom teeth, causing pain or cyst formation.
Tooth infection (abscess) that does not resolve with root canal therapy.
Crowded teeth where extraction is necessary for orthodontic alignment.
Teeth fractured below the gum line due to trauma.
Preparation for radiation or chemotherapy where an infected tooth poses a risk.

How to prepare

Disclose use of blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as per dentist's instructions.
Arrange for someone to drive you home if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
Eat a light meal a few hours before the procedure if only local anesthesia is used.
