Types of Tooth Extractions
Simple Extraction
For teeth that are decayed, loose, fully erupted and visible above the gum line. Performed with forceps and elevators under local anesthesia.
Surgical Extraction
For teeth that are broken, impacted, or not fully erupted. Requires gum tissue incision and sometimes bone removal.
Wisdom Tooth /3rd Molar Extraction
Specialized extraction for third molars that may be impacted or causing crowding. Often requires surgical approach.
Impacted Tooth Extraction
Complex procedure for teeth trapped in jawbone or gum tissue, requiring surgical access and bone removal.
When is Tooth Extraction Needed?
Severe Tooth Decay
When decay has destroyed too much tooth structure for restoration with fillings or crowns.
Advanced Gum Disease
When periodontal disease has destroyed supporting bone and tissue, making the tooth unstable.
Tooth Fracture
When teeth are cracked or broken beyond repair due to trauma or decay.
Crowding Issues
When there's not enough space for proper tooth alignment, requiring removal for orthodontic treatment.
The Extraction Process
Pre-Extraction Assessment
Comprehensive examination and X-ray imaging to plan the extraction approach and assess difficulty.
Tooth Loosening
Gentle use of elevators to separate tooth from surrounding ligaments and create space for removal.
Tooth Removal
Careful extraction using forceps or surgical techniques, ensuring minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Site Preparation
Cleaning the socket, placing gauze if needed, and providing post-operative instructions for optimal healing.
Post-Extraction Care Instructions
Bleeding Control
Bite firmly on gauze for 30-45 minutes. Change gauze if bleeding continues. Avoid spitting or vigorous rinsing.
Swelling Management
Apply ice packs to the face for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for the first 24 hours.
Diet Guidelines
Soft foods for 24-48 hours. Avoid hot liquids, straws, and chewing on the extraction site.
