Tooth extraction
An extraction or tooth extraction is considered to be the most common surgical procedure on Earth. It has to be performed when the therapy is not working and the tooth cannot be saved. At our dental clinic, we do everything possible to cure, save our patients' teeth, in the first place. However, if it is still impossible to save a tooth, at our center you will have it extracted in the most painless way.
When a tooth cannot be saved - the main indications
Despite the clear conviction of our specialists to save the tooth by any means and methods, sometimes extraction is unavoidable. In this case, dental surgeons will perform the surgery gently and painlessly for patients.
There are several reasons for not saving a damaged tooth.
- Advanced dental caries. This is the most common circumstance that leads to extirpation. If most of the tooth is affected by decay, there is a huge risk that the infectious process will go further and infect the entire oral cavity. Then the consequences will be many times more serious.
- Divergence of the tooth row. Most often this pathology occurs when paradontitis is neglected, and therapy will not give a tangible effect.
- The wisdom tooth is not correctly positioned. This can lead to an incorrect bite formation.
Extraction cannot be avoided if the tooth is very damaged and cannot be repaired. It is also necessary to remove teeth for orthodontic treatment (implants).
Methods of removal
Dentistry practices a simple and a complex extraction method. In the first case, the tooth is grasped with a special tool, gently loosened and extracted. Local anesthetics are used so that the patient does not feel pain. In general, this process takes less than half an hour.
The complicated method is performed surgically. It is used if the tooth is hard to reach. For example, the crown is destroyed, and the tooth itself is in the gum tissue. To operate, the specialist dissects the gum and periosteum. After the crown is accessed with a dental drill, the tooth is separated into its parts, which are then extracted from the tissue. The area is then treated with antiseptic agents.
When it is necessary to remove a retained tooth (which is not able to erupt properly), a constructive solution will be the use of lasers. Laser extraction makes it possible to cut the gum as painlessly and safely as possible. This way you can gently extract the tooth from the cavity (root resection in multi-rooted teeth preserves their functionality and aesthetics).
Does a tooth extraction hurt?
Absolutely every patient wonders how much it hurts to have a tooth extracted. Thanks to the latest anesthetics and the professionalism of our doctors there is absolutely no pain during the procedure. Most often local anesthesia is used. Before the injection, the specialist treats the injection site with a special gel, which also has the effect of anesthesia. Therefore, our clients will not feel the slightest discomfort.
Those patients who are panically afraid of dentists and cannot overcome their fears, may opt for the sedation procedure. This completely safe and effective method will help to get through the tooth extraction process without unnecessary nerves.
