What is tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone.

If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, your dentist will try to fix it with a filling, crown or other treatment. Sometimes, however, there may be too much damage for the tooth to be repaired. In this case, the tooth needs to be extracted. A very loose tooth also will require extraction if it can’t be saved, even with bone replacement surgery.

Common reasons for tooth extraction

1. Baby teeth
2. Orthodontic reasons (severe crowding problems)
3. Severely infected teeth which cannot be restored to healthy condition
4. Impacted teeth.
5. Wisdom teeth

Surgical Extraction

If your tooth is badly decayed or broken down, it may require a surgical extraction. This term is used when the tooth cannot be removed intact as a whole unit. Surgical extractions are common and can be accomplished safely, quickly, and easily in the hands of an experienced practitioner. During a surgical extraction the gum may be opened and tooth and bone may be cut using the handpiece to efficiently remove the diseased tooth pieces.
