Although it is best to preserve the natural structures of the teeth, sometimes, extracting them is necessary. Tooth extraction is among the most common dental procedures done to both kids and adults. This procedure involves the complete removal of a tooth out of the mouth. There are several reasons why a tooth must be removed. Reasons may include crowded mouth, severely infected or damaged teeth, risk of infection, gum disease, and severe dental trauma.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the procedure for a tooth extraction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tooth extraction procedure can either be simple or surgical, depending on the condition of the tooth, whether it is visible or impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a simple extraction, the dentist will offer patients with sedation options necessary for their needs, such as oral conscious sedation and laughing gas. Once the sedation has been administered and has taken effect, the patient will feel calm and relaxed throughout the procedure. Dentists typically use an instrument called an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patients that need to undergo surgical extraction will also be offered with sedation options prior to the procedure for them to have a comfortable and relaxing oral surgery experience. Then, the dentist will make a small incision on the gums. They may also need to remove some bone around the tooth or cut the tooth before it can be pulled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftercare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper aftercare following an extraction is essential to recover faster. Usually, recovery takes only a few days after the tooth removal. We at Cypress Springs Family Dentistry have prepared the following tips to help minimize discomfort, reduce the risk of infection, and speed up recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
