Your trusted local Dental Town team always strives to restore damaged teeth and keep your smile intact. However, situations arise that prompt the removal of a tooth. This may be caused by one of the following:
If you experience any of these conditions, your dentist may recommend an extraction.
Extractions are typically performed as a last resort when other treatments fail. Our team will do everything we can to save and repair your teeth through restorative procedures, such as fillings, crowns, or root canals. If your tooth can’t be saved, your dentist will recommend extraction, and we will schedule the procedure as soon as possible.
Before pulling your tooth, your dentist will administer local anesthesia to the extraction site. This will numb your tooth and prevent any discomfort. You may experience slight pressure during your extraction, but we will do everything we can to make you comfortable before and during your procedure.
If your tooth is impacted, which is commonly associated with wisdom teeth, our dentist will make small incisions into the bone and gum tissue to expose the tooth. Next, your dentist will use forceps to grasp your tooth and gently loosen it from the socket. A hard-to-pull tooth may be broken and extracted in pieces. The debris will then be removed. In the case of a simple extraction, your dentist will use forceps to remove the tooth from its socket.
Once your tooth is removed from your mouth, the treatment site is cleaned of any debris. Your dentist will pack a gauze pad inside the socket and have you bite down on it for 30-45 minutes. This will help stop the bleeding and promote the development of a blood clot inside the socket. If necessary, your dentist will replace a small suture over the extraction site to close it and help promote healing.
