Tooth extraction is postponed by many people, especially due to fear. This can be risky for vital organs such as the heart and liver, as well as in the mouth area. Even wisdom tooth extraction is not a difficult procedure with appropriate anesthesia.

What is tooth extraction (Dental removal)?

Tooth extraction is the process of removing the tooth from its socket in the bone without causing damage to the surrounding tissues in cases where it is not possible to repair the tooth. Tooth extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia. When compared to other dental treatments tooth extraction cost is cheaper.

Why is the tooth pulled? In which cases is tooth extraction applied?

Although the main purpose is the lifelong use and protection of permanent teeth that replace primary teeth, tooth extraction is inevitable in some cases. Tooth extraction is performed in the following cases.

If treatments are insufficient

In cases where filling, root canal treatment, crown and coating cannot be performed due to caries and fractures in the tooth (tooth decay has advanced to the tooth pulp, which is rich in nerves and blood vessels, that is, if peridontitis is severe, antibiotic and root canal treatment is the first option. However, even in this case, If root canal treatment is not sufficient, tooth extraction is required to prevent the spread of infection)

If there is advanced gingivitis to the jawbone

In the presence of advanced gingivitis, there are significant losses in the supporting tissues around the tooth (if the gum, periodontal fibers and jawbone are affected),

To maintain a regular knee alignment with orthodontic treatment

Tooth extraction is considered in cases where there are too many teeth that do not fit in the jaw completely or there are crooked teeth other than the alignment line. If orthodontic treatment is deemed necessary to make room for the eruption of other teeth (especially in patients who wear or will wear braces)

If wisdom teeth and impacted teeth cause problems

If there are permanent pains (especially severe aching wisdom tooth), bruises and stubborn abscesses that occur over time in the teeth that are embedded or partially embedded in the gingiva. The 20 teeth are the last teeth to erupt in the back of the jaw. It comes off easily in some patients. In some cases, it may be painful or buried. There are also cases where wisdom tooth damage neighboring teeth. For this reason, wisdom tooth may need to be extracted.

In the presence of risky diseases that will pose a danger to infection

Due to some aesthetic concerns

In case of loosening of the teeth

Due to the damage to the periodontal tissues surrounding the gingiva, the teeth may shake and cannot perform their function. For this reason, tooth extraction may be considered appropriate.

Tooth extraction is performed due to the presence of tumors or persistent cysts.

In the cases we have transferred, tooth extraction is considered as a last resort. It is the dentist who will make the decision for tooth extraction. Treatment options are evaluated and the most appropriate treatment for the patient is performed. If unsuccessful results are obtained, tooth extraction is performed.

What should be done before tooth extraction?

If there are chronic diseases such as heart, diabetes, high blood pressure, it is shared with the physician (It is important for the anesthesia method. General anesthesia cannot be performed due to some diseases or it is done by taking special precautions. Knowing the drugs used is also important in this respect.)

The drugs used are told to the physician.

The pregnant patient informs the doctor about the situation (It is important because anesthetic will be used. The doctor may also recommend medication after tooth extraction. The medication to be used in this case may also be risky for pregnant women)

Before going to the clinic for tooth extraction, the teeth are brushed.

Before going to the clinic, mouthwash with antiseptic properties is used (the spread of infection that may occur due to bleeding after tooth extraction can be prevented)

The physician examines the patient and determines the condition of the jawbone and tooth, the number of roots of the tooth, and whether there is any deformity in the tooth by taking X-rays. If there is a severe case, he can send the patient to the maxillofacial surgeon.

It is determined whether there is an infection (such as the presence of abscess). If there is an infection, the infection should be removed by using antibiotics first and then the tooth should be extracted)

How is tooth extraction done?

Tooth extraction is performed by the dentist.

The patient is examined and x-rayed.

Before the tooth is extracted, the dentist examines the patient. If necessary, he/she takes x-rays or examines the x-ray image taken recently. Obtains information about the drugs used by the patient. Decides the most appropriate tooth extraction procedure.

The area to be extracted is anesthetized.

The area to be extracted is anesthetized with local anesthesia. Thus, the patient does not feel pain during tooth extraction. Anesthesia drug is delivered to the area by injection method. In a very short time, numbness occurs and then the procedure can be started. In cases where it is expected to be more severe and difficult, and in cases where the patient's anxiety and fear are very high (such as 20 dental concerns), local anesthesia can be supported by sedation or general anesthesia may be needed.

Waiting for anesthesia

After local anesthesia is given, it is waited for a few minutes. The dentist checks the teeth for numbness to see if sensation is present. If there is enough numbness, the tooth extraction process is started.

Tooth extraction is performed

The tooth is pushed upwards by applying pressure from the sides with a special tool. The tool, also known as forceps is grasped from the edges of the tooth and moved to the right and left, and the tooth is easily separated from its ligaments that connect it to the surrounding tissues. In severe cases, a few stitches are placed on the gums, since tooth extraction is performed by making an incision in the gum. How is wisdom teeth removal? Regardless of whether there is an impacted tooth or an erupted tooth (sufficiently erupted), the difficulty of tooth extraction depends on the relationship of the tooth with the bone and the condition of the roots. There is no significant difference between a non-impacted wisdom teeth removal and a normal tooth extraction. During an impacted tooth extraction, a small incision is made in the gum to reach the tooth. After the gingiva is lifted and a comfortable area is provided for the tooth to be seen, the extraction process is performed.

While some tooth extractions are easy, some teeth can be extracted in parts.

In some cases, a decayed tooth begins to dislodge over time until it reaches the dental extraction stage. Some teeth are markedly wobbly. In these cases, the shooting process is easier. In some patients, the teeth may not come out in one piece because the root structure of the teeth is irregular, the teeth are impacted or very decayed. In this case, the tooth is partially removed from its socket.

Gauze is placed on the tooth extraction area and bleeding is stopped.

Since blood will start to accumulate in the socket of the tooth separated from the jawbone, the dentist places a gauze pad called a tampon in the patient's mouth to stop the bleeding and asks the patient to press the tampon. The tampon is kept in the mouth for approximately 20-30 minutes.

Tooth extraction takes approximately 20 minutes.

Tooth extraction takes about 20 minutes on average, depending on the structure of the tooth and the experience of the dentist.

Mild bleeding for 24 hours and inconspicuous swelling in the mouth are normal. If there is severe pain and bleeding for more than 24 hours, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, rash, cough and chest pain, the physician should be informed immediately.

After a few days, the gum will cover the bone.
