Why do you need tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from the socket in the jawbone. There are several reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted, including:

Decay or damage If a tooth is severely decayed or damaged, it may not be possible to save it with a filling or crown, and extraction may be necessary.
Gum disease Advanced gum disease can cause teeth to become loose and unstable, making extraction necessary.
Crowding In some cases, teeth may be overcrowded, and extraction may be needed to create more space for the remaining teeth to align properly.
Impacted wisdom teeth Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, may become impacted or partially erupted, causing pain, infection, or damage to neighbouring teeth.
Orthodontic treatment In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted to make room for orthodontic treatment, such as braces.
Infection A tooth that is severely infected or abscessed may need to be extracted to prevent the spread of infection to other teeth or the rest of the body.

Assessment and evaluation
The non-surgical extraction begins with an assessment of your tooth. Dentists will examine it, review X-rays, and discuss symptoms to determine suitability.
Local anaesthesia and tooth loosening
A local anesthetic will numb the area around the tooth for comfort. The dentist will use instruments to gently loosen and remove the tooth.
Extraction
The dentist will use forceps to remove the tooth, minimizing trauma. Sometimes, it may need to be sectioned for easier extraction.

Aftercare for Tooth Extractions

01
Bite down on a gauze pad
After tooth extraction, bite down on the gauze pad for 30 to 45 minutes until bleeding stops. If it continues, replace the gauze.
02
Apply ice packs
Apply ice packs to the affected area for the first 24 hours after the procedure. This can help reduce swelling and pain. Apply the ice pack for 15 minutes at a time, with 15-minute breaks in between.
03
Avoid certain foods and activities
For a few days post-procedure, avoid certain foods and activities like straws, smoking, and hard foods. Stick to soft foods like soup and yogurt. Avoid strenuous activities.
