It is always the top priority for a dentist to restore a tooth that has been affected (injured) in some way, whether it’ll be with a filling, a crown, or some other type of dental therapy. However, there are times when the tooth or teeth in question have sustained too much damage that it cannot be restored, and this is when the process of extraction comes into the picture.
Common reasons for tooth extraction include a crowded mouth, grossly decayed tooth, periodontal disease, impacted wisdom teeth, risk of infection to a compromised immune system.
First thing first, the removal of teeth is typically done by dentist or Oral/maxillofacial surgeon, whom is a dentist who have received additional training to do surgical procedures. Your dentist will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth before the procedure. In addition, your dentist may opt to use general anesthetic on you if you are having more than one tooth extracted or if one of your teeth is impacted. Following the completion of the extraction procedure, the dentist may use one or more stitches to cover the exposed area at the extraction site.
