Frequently Asked Questions on Tooth Extraction

What is tooth extraction?

Tooth extraction, also known as dental extraction, involves the removal of a tooth from the alveolar bone (jawbone).

Why are teeth removed?

Teeth may be removed for various reasons, including:

  1. Excessive tooth decay
  2. Tooth infection
  3. Crowding of teeth
  4. Creating space for orthodontic braces
  5. Compromised teeth in patients undergoing chemotherapy or organ transplantation
  6. Severely broken teeth
  7. Unerupted wisdom teeth

How is simple tooth extraction performed?

During a simple tooth extraction, a local anesthetic numbs the area around the tooth so you feel pressure but not pain. Dr. Adatrow uses an elevator or tooth forceps to loosen the tooth from its bone socket. Anti-anxiety medication or sedation may be used to help with the procedure. Over-the-counter pain medications typically manage post-extraction pain.

When is surgical tooth extraction recommended?

Surgical tooth extraction is recommended for:

  1. Badly broken teeth
  2. Teeth with curved roots
  3. Fragile or cracked teeth
  4. Teeth with broad or long roots
  5. Teeth embedded in the jawbone

What are the types of teeth extractions?

There are three types of teeth extractions:

  1. Simple extraction
  2. Surgical extraction
  3. Wisdom tooth extraction

What is a simple tooth extraction?

Simple tooth extraction involves the straightforward removal of a tooth from the jawbone, typically performed by a general dentist or specialist dentist. Sedation may be used to enhance comfort and cooperation, resulting in a more positive experience.

What is a surgical tooth extraction?

Surgical extraction is needed when a tooth is not easily accessible, such as when it partially erupted or fractured beneath the gum. Dr. Adatrow will make an incision to lift the soft tissues covering the tooth. The tooth may be separated into sections for easier removal, often performed under general anesthesia.

What measures should I take after the dental extraction procedure?

Follow these post-procedure instructions for a faster recovery:

  1. Rest for 48-72 hours after the extraction.
  2. Sleep with your head elevated at a 45-degree angle using pillows to reduce swelling.
  3. Apply ice packs to your face for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off, especially during the first two days.
  4. Take prescription medications as directed.
  5. If you feel drowsy from anti-anxiety medication, this usually subsides within 24 hours but may last up to a week.
