Tooth Extraction Procedure
A dental tooth extraction is a procedure where the tooth is completely removed from its socket. Although it sounds scary, the right dentist will make the process flawless.
- Assessment: Before your extraction, your dentist will send you in for an X-ray to accurately assess the extent of damage.
- Sedation: During your tooth extraction you might be put under sedation or a local anesthesia will be used to numb the affected tooth and surrounding gums to prevent any pain during the procedure. Sedation is typically needed for more complex extractions.
- Extraction: Using dental equipment called an elevator, the dentist will gently and carefully loosen your tooth and lift it from its socket. If your tooth is badly decayed or broken off, the dentist might cut through your gum to fully extract the tooth.
- After Care: Once your tooth has been removed, the socket will be cleaned, disinfected, and stitched to promote faster healing.
