Extraction
Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth from its socket due to severe decay, damage, or overcrowding. Here’s a step-by-step description of the process:
✔
Examination and X-rays: The dentist evaluates the tooth and surrounding area.
✔
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth.
✔
Extraction: The dentist uses special tools to loosen and remove the tooth from its socket.
✔
Preventive Treatments: Post-Extraction Care: Instructions are given for managing pain, swelling, and healing after the procedure.
Tooth extraction is necessary for teeth that are severely decayed, damaged, or causing overcrowding in the mouth.
