A tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or overcrowded, and cannot be saved with other dental treatments like fillings or root canals. During the extraction, the dentist or oral surgeon numbs the area with local anesthesia and carefully loosens the tooth using specialized instruments before gently removing it. After the extraction, the dentist may provide instructions for post-operative care, such as applying ice packs to reduce swelling and avoiding certain foods or activities to promote healing.
Tooth extractions can provide immediate relief from pain and discomfort caused by severe tooth decay, infection, or trauma. Removing the affected tooth can alleviate persistent pain and prevent further dental problems.
Extracting a severely infected tooth can prevent the spread of infection to surrounding teeth, gums, and even the jawbone. By removing the source of infection, the risk of complications such as abscesses and systemic infections is reduced.
In cases of severely damaged or crowded teeth, extraction can improve overall oral health and function. By removing a problematic tooth, space is created for adjacent teeth to align properly, reducing the risk of dental misalignment, bite problems, and further damage to surrounding teeth.
