Good dental health is indispensable to feeling valuable and confident in yourself. Apart from the fact that you need healthy teeth to live a healthy lifestyle, it has also become a concern for good physical attributes. But, some dental problems are so painful that they can cause your teeth to debilitate to an extent you can never imagine.This creates a need for your dental treatment.
If your teeth have extensive decay, trauma, overcrowding, or have been damaged severely, it is a sign that you need a tooth extraction treatment.
Removing a tooth entirely from its socket in the jawbone is known as tooth extraction. With the advancement of medicines and instruments, tooth extraction is now a pain-free procedure.
There are two methods: a simple extraction or a surgical extraction.
A simple extraction is done when the affected tooth is visible in the mouth. It is done with the help of forceps and does not need an incision.
A surgical extraction is done when the affected tooth is not easily visible and accessible. In this case, there are chances that either the tooth has not fully erupted or has broken under the gumline. It requires complex techniques and the excellent expertise of your treatment provider.
Tooth extraction is the best course of action when there are almost no other possible ways to save your tooth. You may need a tooth extraction in the following situations:
When your teeth are damaged up to an extent where it is not feasible to do root canal treatment, in those cases tooth extraction is the optimal solution.The damage could be because of any injury, cavity or decay caused by bacteria.
Periodontal disease occurs due to gum infections. Your gums protect the tissues, ligaments, and bones that are important to hold the teeth in their sockets. If your gums get infected acutely, it can make your teeth lose and initiate unavoidable tooth loss.
Sometimes wisdom teeth do not erupt properly. Rather, they grow sideways or at odd angles. It can make your teeth vulnerable to severe pain, decay, and infection. In that case, it is always advisable to have an extraction treatment to protect your jaw and other teeth from infection and decay caused by the impacted wisdom teeth.
Overcrowding of teeth does not give them enough space to fit in comfortably. It can cause misalignment of teeth, which creates issues like:
A severe misalignment can even cause damage to the jaw. Thus, tooth extraction will create space for other teeth to be aligned better with the help of braces or aligner treatments.
