Tooth Extraction can be:

• Simple Extraction
• Surgical Extraction

Simple Extraction is usually performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth and is usually done under local anesthesia. Surgical extractions are usually performed when the tooth cannot be easily accessed. This happens when the tooth has not fully erupted or when the tooth has been broken under the gum line. In this procedure, the dentist may perform incision to elevate the soft tissue covering the tooth. In some cases, the tooth may be split into multiple pieces to facilitate its removal. It is usually performed under a local anesthesia. Although, it can also be performed under general anesthesia if need be.

Tooth Extraction Surgery – How are teeth removed?

The dentist will thoroughly review your medical and dental history and take the appropriate X-rays as x-rays reveal the length, shape, and position of the tooth and surrounding bone; from this information, the dentist can easily estimate the degree of difficulty of the procedure and then plan the extraction accordingly. Before removal, the area around your tooth will be anesthetized with local or general anesthesia to numb the mouth area where the extraction will occur. For simple extraction, once the area is anesthetized, the tooth is loosened with the help of dental tool called an elevator, then with dental forceps. Your dentist may also want to smooth and re contour the underlying bone. When he or she is finished, they may choose to close the area with a stitch.

Surgical extraction of wisdom teeth – Wisdom teeth extraction cost Delhi

Wisdom teeth, the third and final set of molars found at the back of the mouth, mostly erupt during the late teens or early twenties. They are a valuable asset when they grow healthy and properly positioned but may require removal in case of any misalignment or other issues. Misaligned wisdom teeth can grow inward, sideways, and sometimes positioned horizontally. This eventually can crowd out and damage the adjacent teeth, jaw or even the nerves. Those wisdom teeth that grow leaning towards other molars may make them vulnerable to decay by harboring food particles and dental plaque.

Other issues with wisdom teeth include partial eruption through the gums or ‘impacted teeth’ – those that remain partially or completely entrapped within the soft tissues or within the jawbones. Such issues typically leave an opening for bacteria to enter and multiply, causing infections. Visit your dentist so that she can examine the positioning of your wisdom teeth with the help of an X-Ray. The dentist may advise extractions even before they completely erupt. This can help avoid a more complicated and painful extraction in the future. As a rule, one should get their wisdom teeth removed at the earliest, usually in the late teens, when the root of the teeth has not completely formed, and the bones around the teeth are less dense.

If the diagnosis is made in the early stages, it is often possible to preserve the natural structure of the tooth of the patient. When the tooth has already undergone significant decay, it may not be possible to salvage the tooth. In this situation, removal may be the only option to preserve the adjacent teeth from the same issues. The following conditions may require a tooth extraction procedure:

• Rotten teeth that cannot be repaired to prevent infection
• To create space for orthodontic treatment/braces
• Damaged teeth are caused by injuries such as trips, falls, sports accidents, etc.
• Gum disease, which affects the tissues and sockets in the gum that hold the teeth in place, making them to become loose
• Overcrowded teeth owing to a smaller jaw size
• Eruption of wisdom teeth affecting the positioning and space of teeth
