Tooth extraction

What is Tooth Extraction?

Thanks to the development of science and technology in dentistry, the priority is to treat and keep the tooth in its natural state. Tooth extraction is the process of removing the tooth from its socket called the socket in the bone. Generally, tooth extraction is applied in cases where treatment is not possible.

Why Is Tooth Extraction Needed?

• Teeth with severe caries and irreparable loss of material.
• Trauma and broken teeth
• Teeth that were intended to be saved by root canal treatment but failed.
• Loose teeth due to gum disease.
• Baby teeth that do not fall out when they should.
• Not fully erupted impacted or partially impacted teeth.
• Teeth that cause cysts or tumors.
• Troubled teeth due to excessive position change.
• In order to provide orthotontic treatment, tooth extraction may be needed to gain space in the jaw, although it is unproblematic.

How does tooth extraction take place?

Although most of us are afraid of tooth extraction, it is actually a very simple procedure performed under local anesthesia. First of all, the dentist performs the examination for the general health and dental health of the patient. It examines the shape, length, position and soft tissue conditions of the tooth and surrounding bone with x-ray film, and completes the definitive diagnosis according to the situation. After the area is anesthetized with local anesthesia with a simple surgical intervention, the tooth is loosened with the help of an elevator and extracted with a dentist’s invitation. Depending on the case, it may be necessary to shape the bone.
