What is Tooth Extraction and Why it is required ?

Tooth removal is needed when a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, dentist will usually try to fix decayed or broken tooth with fillings, crown or other treatments.

However, if the damage is beyond the repairable limits, then tooth needs to be removed. Removal of tooth is called Tooth Extraction.

Surgical Extraction:

It is a procedure where the tooth needs to be removed is either broken off at the gum line or had not erupted properly in the mouth. Your dentist will make a small incision into your gum to remove the affected tooth surgically.

Surgical Extraction is necessary to remove broken or Impacted Teeth or Wisdom Teeth.

Impacted Teeth:

Some people might have abnormal teeth eruption in the gum line. Due to this mouth lacks the necessary space to fit teeth properly. Thus the newly or wrongly emerging teeth might cause damage to the adjacent or teeth in the gum line.

Impacted teeth makes it difficult to accommodate the teeth in your mouth thus causing the following:

  • Difficulty with chewing and talking
  • Difficulty with Jaw movement
  • Difficulty with Biting
  • Decay of healthy teeth due to abnormal teeth eruption
  • Bleeding Gums and Painful Jaws etc.,

Teeth Extraction is the proper treatment for impacted teeth. Different types of Dental Impactions are:
