What Is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the jaw. It may be recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing dental issues that cannot be fixed with fillings, crowns, or other treatments.

Why a Tooth Might Need to Be Removed

  • Extensive Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired.
  • Infection: If a tooth infection cannot be treated with a root canal treatment.
  • Crowding: To create space before orthodontic treatment.
  • Wisdom Teeth Issues: Teeth that don’t emerge properly may need removal.
  • Advanced Gum Disease: Teeth that have become loose.
  • Broken or Fractured Teeth: Teeth that cannot be restored.

Types of Tooth Extractions

  • Simple Extraction: For teeth that are visible and easy to remove, usually done under local anesthesia.
  • Surgical Extraction: For teeth that are broken, impacted, or partially erupted; this may require small cuts in the bone.

Wisdom Teeth: What You Should Know

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually appear between ages 17 and 25. Sometimes, they erupt normally, but most often they can cause problems due to lack of space or improper alignment.

Common Issues with Wisdom Teeth

  • Impaction: Teeth wont fully emerge from the gum.
  • Crowding: Push neighboring teeth out of alignment.
  • Pain or Swelling: in the back of the mouth.
  • Infection or Gum Disease: as this is hard-to-clean area it can harbor bacteria.
  • Cysts or Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Rare but possible in untreated cases.

Healing & Follow-Up

  • Most extraction sites heal within 1–2 weeks.
  • Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and discuss options like dental implants or bridges to replace missing teeth.
