Quote of Dt. Ezgi Özkan Özben
What is tooth extraction?
Extraction is the actual process involving a tooth's being removed from the bone socket. This often forms the recourse that has to be drawn upon if such a condition creates damage, decay, impaction on your tooth and hence cannot be continued in use via other processes: filling or even canal treatment. Extrinsic are basic and can as well be categorized as a form of surgery-based extraction procedures relying on tooth conditioning and position. Visible teeth can easily be extracted but for the teeth which are broken, below the gum line, or impacted need surgical extraction.
Why is Tooth Extraction Required?
Reasons to recommend tooth extraction can vary. Among the most common are heavy decaying of the tooth or infection that cannot be treated, overcrowding, and impacted wisdom teeth. In some cases, this can also be a preparation for other orthodontic treatments, such as braces. Other than those, extraction can also be considered in instances when the teeth cause pain, discomfort, or destroy other teeth and their surrounding gums. The dentist or oral surgeon will evaluate the condition of the tooth and the surrounding tissues to determine if extraction is the best option.
Benefits and Recovery
The main advantages of tooth extraction are the elimination of pain and prevention of future problems in the oral cavity. Following the procedure, most patients develop some swelling and discomfort that is manageable with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs. Recovery generally takes a few days up to a week or more, depending on the difficulty of the extraction. Proper aftercare includes avoidance of hard foods and ensuring oral hygiene for proper healing and to avoid complications such as infection or dry socket.

Tooth ExtractionSelectStarting From 40.00 €
Tooth extraction is the process of surgical removal by dentists of teeth that are decayed, damaged, inflamed or have become problematic for various reasons. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia. The gum is carefully lifted and separated from the tooth root tissue using dental extraction pliers or extraction instruments. The dental cavity is then sterilized and properly sealed.
Tooth extraction may be necessary in a variety of situations. For example, situations such as a severely decayed tooth becoming untreatable, failure of root canal treatment, gum diseases or gum infections may require tooth extraction. The dentist can decide which teeth need to be extracted after examining the condition of the teeth and taking x-rays if necessary.
After tooth extraction, it is important to follow your dentist's recommendations. Often, you may need to gently bite for several hours to relieve pressure on the extraction site. Additionally, it is important to follow the instructions given to keep bleeding under control. It is also important to consume soft foods and keep the tooth extraction area clean during the healing process. If you have any questions or concerns, you should contact your dentist.
