Why One Might Need a Tooth Extraction?

Whether it’s the result of severe decay, infectious ingrown tooth, or making more room for the perfect smile with braces, a tooth sometimes might just have to go. Certainly, it’s for the greeted good, it’s for your overall oral health. If your dentist can make the process as smooth as possible, you have nothing to worry about! So, what are the most common reasons for getting rid of a tooth?

  • A damaged tooth that cannot be repaired
  • Too many teeth hold more room, causing overcrowding in the mouth
  • Disfigured facial expressions due to unnatural tooth placement
  • Removal of throbbing wisdom teeth
  • Making space for braces or similar orthodontic treatment
  • Preventing an already building infection from spreading

What are the Types of Extractions?

Moving on to the types, many patients don’t even know there are types of extractions. Well, there are two ways of extracting a tooth

This type of extraction doesn’t take more than 15-20 minutes for the overall process. The dentists perform this extraction using local anesthesia, specialized dental tools, and gentle yet quick action. It doesn’t take long for the patient to go back to having a normal diet after this procedure.

Now, not all your teeth are going to be easy-going when it comes to extraction, especially the ingrown ones, the harshly decayed ones, and of course, the pesky wisdom teeth. Our dentists are well-trained and experienced to help you get rid of these painful situations. However, making an incision into the gum, and surgically removing the tooth, sometimes in segments might be necessary. 

Extraction of Wisdom Teeth

So, what are the wisdom teeth? They are your third molars that break out and start aching due to unfavorable placement in the teenage or early 20s. Why is it so important to get rid of them? Well, most of the time, they cling to the jaw or start growing inwards which causes both unbearable pain and tooth decay. When it’s time to let a wisdom tooth go, our expert dentists at Goldfields Family Dental know how to be gentle and effective.  

Will It Hurt?

If you’re a first-timer, yes the process does sound intimidating. But trust in our experts, they know how to make it quick, comfortable, and as painless as possible. Of course, you won’t even feel a thing during the procedure, thanks to the sedation methods available! And we are also going to guide you for the post-extraction care.

After the whole procedure, you might even wonder why you were scared or worried in the first place! So, if that tooth is bugging you, make an appointment at Goldfields Family Dental Clinic right away!
