Why Are Tooth Extractions Necessary?
Extractions are typically considered a last resort to preserve a tooth. Removing specific teeth can help prevent problems like shifting, infection, and damage in the mouth. There are various reasons why you might require or prefer an extraction, including:
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Severely damaged teeth
- Teeth with cracks or breaks below the gum line
- Hard-to-extract baby teeth
- Prefer to avoid additional procedures
Who qualifies for tooth extractions?
We recommend conducting an examination to assess if an extraction may be necessary. It is generally advised for most patients in need of an extraction to undergo the procedure to prevent future complications like infections and abscesses. X-rays will also be taken to help accurately determine the need for extraction.
During A Tooth Extraction, What Occurs?
First, we provide the choice of anesthetic or sedation based on your preference. During your consultation, we can go over the various sedation options available. Once you are comfortable, we will proceed with loosening and extracting the tooth. If needed, we may also place sutures to close the gums. To manage any bleeding, we will have you bite down on gauze. If you have been sedated, we will take you to a recovery room until you are fully awake. If general sedation was used, it is crucial that a friend or family member accompanies you home. Lastly, we will give you important aftercare instructions that must be followed.
