Basic Procedure of a Tooth Extraction
Basic Procedure
of a Tooth Extraction
Extraction may be the final step required to prevent a
cracked or decayed tooth from causing further damage. Or, in the case of
crowding or an impacted wisdom tooth, it may be needed to prevent trouble from
occurring later. In most cases, however, it's a routine procedure that's
nothing to fear when done by an experienced hand. Here's how it usually works:
First, a radio graphic X/Ray examination allows your dentist to see the tooth's
exact position and anticipate any possible complications. Your medical and drug
history is also evaluated, so your dentist can assess your general health and
establish your options for anesthesia. Simpler tooth extractions may be
performed under local anesthesia such as a numbing shot, with or without
additional sedation like nitro-us oxide or oral medication.
More complex or multiple extractions may require conscious sedation that's
administered intravenously into the bloodstream.
Once you've been anesthetized, the tooth can be removed.
You might think that teeth are set into the bone like a stone in concrete but
that's not the case! They're actually attached by a series of fibers called the
periodontal
ligament. By carefully manipulating these fibers, most teeth can be
dislodged without too much difficulty. Afterwards, your dentist may prescribe
antibiotics and/or recommend over-the-counter pain medications for a few days.
