The need to remove a tooth can arise for various reasons, and it is performed both in an emergency and in a planned manner. It is indicated in the following cases:
Profound destruction and decay of tooth, leaving no possibility of its treatment or use of prosthetics
Periodontitis is in its final fourth stage when the periodontal tissues are destroyed, and the mobility of the tooth makes it easy to remove it from the tooth socket. Removal of adjacent teeth, in this case, is performed if indicated.
Injuries and jaw fractures, trauma to the roots and crown part of the tooth.
Anomalies in the development of individual teeth, when they do not allow normal eating, injure the mucous membrane of the mouth, or interfere with speaking.
The need for orthopedic or orthodontic intervention. In these cases, two or more teeth may need to be extracted, with the second tooth being removed during the same visit.
Results
After the extraction, you will be relieved of pain entirely, and only tactile sensitivity will remain. It can be done under anesthesia, making the procedure wholly painless and safe. The pain and bad breath caused due to tooth decay will be eliminated.
Benefits
The treatment has the following advantages:
Due to the use of anesthesia the treatment can be performed without pain
The treatment is completed, causing minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues
There are no surgical complications in the procedure; the only difficulties that arise are the non-compliance of patients with recommendations in the postoperative period.
Treatment success rates are high; however, it is imperative to choose a good surgeon.
Recovery and Aftercare
Usually, the recovery period is not accompanied by discomfort, except for a few days after the surgery:
Pain will occur at least 2 hours after the removal and spreads to the jaw and part of the cheek. In this case, doctors recommend taking painkillers.
You might have a slight fever if the removal was complicated.
There may be slight swelling of soft tissues in the area of surgical intervention. Slight puffiness on the cheeks is also expected. However, these will fade away on their own.
