Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a last resort that is only recommended in specific situations, such as the following:
- The tooth is too physically damaged to support a restoration.
- The enamel is decayed beyond repair, and root canal therapy would no longer be enough to stop the spread of the damage.
- Gum disease has destroyed the bone tissue supporting the teeth.
- There is not enough room in the mouth for dentures or orthodontic treatment.
- Your child has a baby tooth that is currently in the way of a permanent tooth.
How Tooth Extractions Work
During a simple extraction, the tooth is loosened with an instrument called an elevator. We can then gently rock it back and forth with forceps until it comes out. In cases where a surgical approach is required, some gum and bone tissue will have to be removed, and the tooth itself may need to be divided in order to be removed safely. During either type of extraction, your mouth is numbed so that you won’t experience discomfort. (You can expect soreness afterwards, but it can be controlled through medication and will wear off in time.)
