A dental operation called a tooth extraction involves entirely removing your tooth from its socket. This is sometimes referred to as "pulling" a tooth. When feasible, healthcare professionals prefer to preserve natural teeth. However, there are situations when additional restorative measures, like dental crowns or fillings, are required. If your tooth has suffered severe damage that cannot be repaired, removal may be required. If you have: severe tooth decay (cavities), a cracked tooth, an impacted tooth, crowded teeth, severe gum disease, tooth luxation, or other oral injuries, your dentist may advise tooth extraction. Tooth extractions can be done by dentists and some dental specialists, including periodontists and oral surgeons. Although regular dentists conduct many extractions, more complicated cases are typically referred to as periodontists or oral surgeons. Your afflicted tooth and the gum tissue around it are first given topical anesthetic to make them feel better. Your dentist will gently loosen your tooth and carefully take it out of its socket using special dental tools. When your tooth is severely decaying or has broken off at the gum line, your dentist may occasionally need to create incisions in your gums to have access to it. The socket is cleansed and sterilized after your tooth has been extracted. A dental bone transplant can occasionally be implanted by your dentist to help stop jaw bone loss. Finally, to aid in the healing process, stitches may be used.
