What is tooth extraction? In which cases tooth extraction is required?
A dental extraction (also referred to as tooth extraction, exodontia, exodontics, or informally, tooth pulling) is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone.
Because of various reasons, the teeth of the arch are damaged, weakened and shaken. At this time, whether or not to extract the teeth will depend on the patient’s oral condition and general health. Dentist will always prioritize treatment for teeth instead of removal. Until all options are inapplicable or ineffective, the doctor will prescribe a tooth extraction.
Extraction is a dental technique that removes the real teeth, due to pathological problems, damage, and no longer ensures basic functions. Extraction is a minor surgery so there will be processes related to anaesthesia, tooth extraction, and subsequent painful issues. The patient should be prepared psychologically and medically when extraction is indicated.
After extraction, the patients preferably chooses an Implant solutions for the restoration of the missing tooth. In order to ensure chewing function, aesthetics and prevent serious consequences caused by the loss of teeth.
Cases where extraction is required
The extraction of wisdom tooth or the extraction of decaying molars teeth must be experienced at least once in a lifetime. If we don’t treat them, they will cause us a lot of inconvenience in our daily life. The chewing function of the teeth will be impaired by the aches and pains.
Not only that, in many cases, the teeth have severe periodontitis, the infection is more widespread, if not extracted in time, the remaining teeth can also be affected, the worst consequence is the loss of teeth on the entire arch.
Therefore, for the cases below, the doctor usually prescribes immediately tooth extraction:
Dental caries
The customers has severe dental caries, teeth are increasingly damaged and accompanied by persistent pain, the caries need to be extracted, to avoid spreading the caries causing bacteria to spread to adjacent teeth.
Broken teeth have large caries and only roots left need to be removed to avoid complications afterward
Pulpitis tooth
If the teeth are not treated early, the infection can spread, thereby forming inflamed area at the root called apical periodontitis (AP). This causes the root to be severely damaged and increasingly weakened, even end-stage pulp necrosis that cannot be treated. At this point, the doctors are bound to extract the teeth.
Periodontitis
The client who has severe periodontal diseases, with extensive bone resorption, receding gum or unsustainable root that makes the tooth loss, easy to come out. With this condition, tooth extraction is inevitable
Symptoms of periodontitis that require early treatment to avoid leading to tooth loss
An impacted wisdom teeth or grow underground causes complications
A wisdom tooth, commonly known as the tooth no.8, or the third molar, is the last growing tooth of the jaw. Wisdom teeth usually grow and develop from 17-30 years old when they no longer have enough “space” on the jaw to grow in the normal direction, so they have to find a different growth direction than other teeth.
Many cases of wisdom teeth grow favorable, causing people to experience pain and unpleasant feelings. Therefore, for many people, wisdom teeth have practically no aesthetic or chewing function. And most of the wisdom teeth or the 8th teeth should be extracted soon, so as not to affect the other teeth on the dental arch.
The name is smart tooth but “not smart” at all!
Extraction when dental braces are performed
Doctors will prescribe tooth extraction when getting braces with the following cases: underbite, protruding teeth, crowding teeth, crooked teeth due to small jaw space and need to make space for the teeth to move back to the esthetic position.
Note: After extraction, the patients should select the appropriate options for the restoration of the missing tooth soon. Avoid affecting oral health and facial aesthetics.
