Why should I get Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction entails removing a tooth from its socket in the jaw bone. This is usually done to cut out teeth that are infected, decayed, or damaged beyond repair. Sometimes, teeth need to be extracted before orthodontic treatment or to create space for other teeth to grow in proper alignment. Due to lack of space or impaction, the wisdom teeth are usually extracted. In addition, dental extractions can be a part of a larger strategy to maintain oral hygiene and prevent the development of other dental issues.

The Benefits of Tooth Extraction

Prevention of Oral Issues

Elimination of the problematic tooth may limit further advancement of its decay or infection into other teeth that could compromise the oral structure's integrity.

Improved Oral Hygiene

Once the problematic teeth are removed, the aspects of cleaning the oral cavity and maintaining oral hygiene are more simplified. This lessens the chances of experiencing more dental problems in the future.

Orthodontic Treatments

Removal of certain teeth may allow orthodontic treatment with braces to have some space, and then the teeth may be arranged appropriately.

Toot Extraction Process in Lake Mary

  • Initial Consultation and Examination
Dr Shah will conduct a thorough examination of the tooth in question to determine its condition in order to assess the need for dental extraction with the use of X-rays. With X-rays, she will be able to evaluate the extent of possible complications that may need to be treated before tooth extraction.
  • Preparation for Extraction
Once Dr Shah obtains consent, the tooth will first be numbed with local anesthesia for complete comfort during the procedure. With the help of a few unique instruments, she will carefully disengage and extract the tooth from its place.
  • Post-Operative
    Care
Following the tooth extraction, gauze will be provided, and in case stitches are to be applied for healing, Dr Shah will provide aftercare tips along with the stitches. Instructions will be given on oral hygiene and diet to assist in post-operative comfort and healing.
