Dental Extractions
Dental extraction, commonly known as tooth extraction, is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, trauma, overcrowding, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment.
There are two primary types of dental extractions: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Simple extractions are performed on visible teeth and involve loosening the tooth with an instrument called an elevator before using forceps to remove it. This type of extraction is usually quick and straightforward, often done under local anesthesia.
On the other hand, surgical extractions are more complex and involve the removal of teeth that may be broken, impacted, or not fully erupted. The dentist or oral surgeon may need to make an incision in the gum tissue and, in some cases, may need to section the tooth or remove bone to extract it successfully. Surgical extractions are often performed with local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case and the patient’s preferences.
