Tooth Extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically done when a tooth is damaged beyond repair or when it causes other dental issues. On the other hand, it is usually a safe procedure, and recovery time is generally short, though it may vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. There are two main types of tooth extractions, such as Simple Extraction and Surgical Extraction.

How is a Natural Tooth or an Impacted Tooth Removed?

• Assessing the conditions through X-rays or Scans to understand the position.
• Injecting an Anesthesia to make the patient comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
• Making a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth or remove the bone where the tooth is encased (if required).
• Removing the tooth by breaking into smaller fragments to make it easier.
• After removing the tooth, the area is cleaned to remove any debris or infection.
• Stitching the Gum Tissue (if necessary) to help you with healing.
• Providing instructions to manage discomfort.
