Tooth extraction involves completely removing a tooth from the mouth. People may require tooth extraction for many reasons, ranging from tooth decay to crowded teeth.
- Longitudinal dental fractures
- Caries reaching far under the gingiva or into the root
- Severe tipping of teeth
- Severe loosening due to periodontitis
- Relocated or excess teeth
- Orthodontal lack of space
First we numb both your tooth and the bone and gum tissue surrounding the teeth. An instrument called an elevator can then be used to loosen the tooth further from its socket. When the tooth is loose enough, forceps are utilized to deliver the tooth extraction.
