While even normal tooth extraction is an unsettling procedure for people, surgical tooth extraction performed for any reason can be a process that many people fear. Despite this, it should be considered as a necessary and important touch in terms of aesthetics and general health benefits.
Extraction may be required for reasons such as tooth decay, distorted growth, trauma or gum disease.
Surgical tooth extraction is a preferred procedure for cases where it is not possible to extract the tooth normally other than the usual procedure. Surgical tooth extraction is generally performed by oral surgeons or oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
Surgical tooth extraction is generally the preferred method in cases where the tooth needs to be removed. However, it may not be suitable for every patient. The dentist will perform a proper evaluation to decide whether surgical tooth extraction is necessary.
Surgical tooth extraction may be required in cases where the tooth is severely decayed, when dentists cannot remove the tooth with normal tooth extraction, and when impacted tooth surgery is needed. Impacted teeth are teeth that do not emerge in the correct position within the jawbone. It can cause pain, inflammation, and problems with the teeth and surrounding tissues. Surgical tooth extraction may be required to remove it.
When a tooth breaks, it may be an option to extract the remaining portion and, in some cases, remove crooked or completely damaged teeth.
If there is no suitable area in the area to be implanted or if there is a tooth that needs to be removed, it can help create a suitable jaw structure required for implant application.
Since each patient's situation is different, the necessity of surgical tooth extraction may vary depending on the person's mouth structure, the condition of the teeth and other factors. The dentist will perform the necessary examination and evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment option.
Surgical tooth extraction is an important procedure that must be monitored very carefully. Local anesthesia is applied to make the procedure painless and comfortable.
Anesthesia is injected into the tissues around the tooth, numbing the tooth and surrounding tissues, reducing or eliminating the feeling of pain.
For tooth extraction, an incision is usually made. A small blade or laser may be used to cut to gain access to the soft tissues and gums overlying the tooth.
After cutting, the roots and connective tissue of the tooth are accessed. Tooth roots are carefully loosened and removed using special tools. Depending on the condition of the tooth, sometimes the tooth may be split or cut.
After the extraction, stitches are applied if necessary. Stitches are used to close the gum and support the healing process. Stitches may generally be made of self-dissolving materials or may need to be removed later.
Since surgical tooth extraction is an important and complex procedure, it is performed by an experienced oral surgeon or dentist. Sterile techniques are used during the procedure and the patient's comfort, oral health and general health are taken into consideration.
As with any medical procedure, such as surgical tooth extraction, surgical tooth extraction has some risks that are generally rare. These risks are minimized in procedures performed by a specialist oral surgeon or an experienced dentist. The most appropriate techniques and equipment used help reduce risks.
The risk of infection after the procedure decreases when appropriate sterilization and infection control procedures are implemented.
Pain and swelling may occur. These symptoms are usually a natural part of the healing process and will subside over time. Your doctor can give you suggestions for managing pain.
Bleeding may occur during or after tooth extraction. Your doctor will use appropriate methods to control bleeding and give you instructions. In rare cases, damage to the jaw nerve or other nerves may occur during tooth extraction. This type of damage can lead to temporary loss of sensation or numbness.
The risks mentioned are generally rare and are usually minimized in surgical tooth extraction procedures performed by specialist physicians.
Even when local anesthesia is effective, you may sometimes feel other sensations, such as pressure or a pulling sensation. Such feelings are normal, and the dentist will take the necessary precautions to make you feel comfortable during the extraction procedure.
After the procedure, it is normal to feel mild pain and discomfort in the surgical tooth extraction area. These symptoms usually decrease over time. Your dentist can give you suggestions for managing pain and recommend prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers.
After surgical tooth extraction, you may feel slight pain, swelling or discomfort. This condition can usually be controlled with painkillers.
