Extractions (Non-Surgical)

Extractions (Non-Surgical)

Non-surgical tooth extractions are performed on the visible tooth. It is best to have a tooth extracted if it’s causing you discomfort, and there is no possibility of tooth preservation. The dentist can simply remove the troublesome tooth with a simple extraction, eliminating the need for major surgery.

Broadly there are two types of tooth extraction-

• Non-surgical extraction 
• Surgical extraction

A simple extraction method is used to extract teeth that are visible and conveniently accessible. In contrast, a surgical removal process is considered when the affected teeth aren’t visible such as wisdom teeth.

Non-surgical extractions are painless and quick procedures that your dentist can do in the clinic. It takes very little time to recuperate from this procedure. Teeth that are hidden behind the gums cannot be removed using this method. 

The dentist would use an elevator to gently remove the tooth from its gum after thoroughly numbing the affected area. He will next use forceps to extract the tooth after it has been sufficiently loosened. Many teeth may usually be removed with this procedure if necessary.

The dentist will advise you regarding what care to take upon having your tooth extracted. He will also guide you about what to eat and what not to for a few days.

Possible Causes

Cavities and tooth decay can arise because of several factors such as bacterial infections, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks, and poor oral care.

Risk Factors

Tooth extraction is associated with some risk factors that can be expected after the procedure. Some of them are pain, inflammation, bleeding, bruising, and infection.

Signs and Symptoms

Although there are a variety of reasons why you might need your teeth removed, your dentist may recommend it in the following circumstances:

• Overcrowding: Your teeth might get overcrowded if you don’t have sufficient space in your jaw. The dentist will remove extra teeth to prepare for orthodontic or teeth alignment procedures.
• Infection of the teeth: The dentist can conduct root canal treatment if the decay has reached the pulp. However, the dentist can remove the tooth to avoid infection and protect your remaining teeth in extreme circumstances.
• Affected wisdom teeth: The wisdom teeth are the very last molars to emerge. Due to lack of enough space, the molars may not fit properly or get affected. Impacted wisdom teeth are irritating and, if not treated promptly, can result in significant dental issues.
• Periodontal disease: Such types of chronic gum diseases might adversely affect teeth and necessitate extraction.

Diagnosis

The dentist detects tooth decay by:

• Examining teeth
• Probing the teeth by dental instruments
• Dental x-rays to know the extent of the cavity
