Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is the painless removal of the whole tooth from its socket. It is done without causing any damage to the surrounding areas. Extraction of the tooth is always kept as a last resort when all the other measures of saving the tooth have failed. Tooth extraction is a minor oral surgical procedure done under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is the one that numbs the offending tooth and its surrounding areas. It is essential to numb the area to make the process comfortable.
There are two kinds of extractions: regular and wisdom teeth extraction. Regular extraction involves the removal of the tooth that is visible in the mouth. Wisdom tooth extraction can remove partially erupted or fully impacted third molars. The third molars erupt between the age of 18-24 yrs. It is called an impacted tooth if they do not erupt in its regular position and remains locked inside the bone. Wisdom tooth removal is also a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia. However, it might take a little longer to complete than regular extraction. In the information provided below, we will briefly discuss teeth extractions- brought to you by Laconic Dental Studio Pune
The primary aim of a dentist is to save your tooth. Tooth extraction is indicated as a last resort when all the methods to save the tooth have failed. Tooth extraction is indicated for a severely decayed tooth. It can also be done in cases where the damage due to trauma is so severe that hardly any tooth structure is left for build-up. It is crucial to clinically and radiologically assess the condition of your tooth before planning the extraction. Our team will customize the treatment plan based on the diagnosis. Wisdom tooth extraction is indicated when problems are associated with the third molars. There can be cases where the third molar is not causing harm; we don’t need extraction. However, when there is recurrent pain or limitation of mouth opening, it is vital to assess the condition.
The first and foremost is the consultation with our surgeons at Laconic Dental Studio Pune. We will clinically and radiologically assess your tooth’s condition. The radiological analysis is done to evaluate the presence of any pus around the tooth and the bone health around the tooth. It is essential to discuss your medical history during this step. Medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and blood disorders have a serious impact on extraction planning. Please inform our team on the first visit if you take any medicines. Once the diagnosis is made, a customized treatment plan is formulated accordingly.
The actual process starts with the administration of anesthesia. The tooth and its surrounding tissues are made numb. Once the area is anesthetized, we proceed with loosening the tooth. Once the tooth becomes loose, we pull it out of the socket.
