Tooth extraction is the procedure of removing a tooth from the mouth and is generally performed in the following situations.
• Severe Decay: When the tooth is too decayed to be treated.
• Gum Diseases: In cases where the tissues surrounding the tooth are infected.
• Tooth Crowding: To create space for orthodontic treatment.
• Wisdom Teeth: Usually extracted due to lack of space or risk of infection.
Extraction Process:
Tooth extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia. This way, the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. After the extraction, side effects such as bleeding, swelling, and mild pain may occur.
Recovery:
The healing process usually takes a few days. It is important to follow the dentist’s recommendations. In addition, paying attention to the recommended diet and care instructions can speed up recovery.
