When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
In rare cases, a tooth may become so damaged by injury or infection that removal is the only option. Other reasons for tooth extraction include overcrowding in the mouth or advanced periodontal (gum) disease.
What to Expect During a Tooth Extraction
A tooth extraction can be performed by either a general dentist or an oral surgeon. A local anesthetic is used to numb the area, to ensure comfort during the extraction procedure, a. The dentist will then carefully loosen and remove the tooth. In some instances, a few self-dissolving stitches may be placed to close the gum flap over the socket and promote healing. The entire extraction process typically takes 20-30 minutes and generally causes minimal discomfort. After the tooth is removed, the socket is packed with gauze to control bleeding.
Post-Extraction Care
After your tooth extraction, you will receive pain medication, antibiotics, and detailed aftercare instructions. It is crucial to follow these post-extractin instructions to avoid complications such as “dry socket,” a painful condition where the blood clot becomes dislodged from the tooth socket. Proper post-extraction care will help ensure you heal within 5-7 days.
