Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that includes completely removing your tooth from its socket. A tooth may be "pulled" in reference to this. Healthcare experts prefer to keep natural teeth whenever it is possible. However, in some cases, additional restorative procedures, like dental crowns or fillings, are necessary. It can be necessary to extract your tooth if it has sustained extensive damage that cannot be healed. Your dentist may suggest tooth extraction if you have serious dental decay (cavities), a broken tooth, an impacted tooth, crowded teeth, severe gum disease, tooth luxation, or other oral injuries. Dentists and some dental specialists, such as periodontists and oral surgeons, can do tooth extractions. Regular dentists do a lot of extractions, however, for more severe situations, periodontists or oral surgeons are often used. First, a topical anesthetic is applied to the gum tissue surrounding the affected tooth to help them feel better. Using specialized dental instruments, your dentist will gently loosen your tooth and delicately remove it from its socket. Sometimes, your dentist may need to make incisions in your gums to gain access to a tooth that is extremely decayed or that has broken off at the gum line. Your tooth is extracted, and then the socket is cleaned and sterilized. Your dentist may occasionally implant a dental bone transplant to help arrest the loss of jaw bone. Finally, sutures may be applied to speed up the healing process.
