Tooth Extraction. Tooth Extraction.
Even with proper dental care, teeth age and can decay or break. Many damaged teeth can be repaired with fillings or crowns, but when the damage or decay is excessive, the tooth should be removed. A tooth extraction may not seem complicated, but tooth removal should only be performed by a professional.
Some extractions can be done without making any incisions or using special techniques. This is called a simple extraction. When a tooth is broken or decayed, there may not be enough tooth above the gumline, or it may be too fragile to remove intact. The tooth’s shape, size and position also affect whether it is removed with a simple or more involved extraction.
When a dental professional refers a patient to an OMS for tooth extraction, it is to ensure the tooth is removed or managed with the highest level of expertise. Some impacted teeth do require only partial removal or no removal at all, and that decision is made with the expertise of an OMS. Surgical tooth extraction may occur under some form of sedation or anesthesia at the office of an OMS. The time required to perform the procedure will depend on many factors:
When gum tissue covers the tooth, an incision is required to expose the tooth for removal. Similarly, if bone covers part of the tooth, the surgeon will remove the bone to fully expose and extract the tooth. If an incision is needed, sutures may be placed to aid with healing.
With the exception of wisdom teeth, dental implants are recommended for the replacement of extracted teeth to prevent bone loss and improve functionality. Surgical tooth extraction is simply the first step on the road to improved oral health.
Maintaining a radiant and healthy smile isn’t a mysterious process; it’s rather straightforward: brush, floss, and schedule a professional dental assessment at least twice a year. These dental assessments primarily revolve around prevention – mitigating the escalation of existing issues and averting the emergence of future dental concerns. By adhering to regular dental check-ups, it becomes feasible to pinpoint and address problems during their initial phases, which not only benefits your oral health but also your financial planning.
There’s no need for apprehension when it comes to a dental evaluation. Your teeth will undergo a visual scrutiny to detect indications of plaque, tartar, and tooth decay. Moreover, your gums will be assessed for any signs of inflammation or abnormal coloration, both indicative of gum disease. Additionally, a comprehensive series of dental X-rays might be captured during the assessment, facilitating your dentist’s ability to examine beneath the tooth surfaces. These dental assessments typically conclude with a thorough dental cleaning aimed at eliminating surface stains and accumulated residue.
