Tooth Extractions
There are many reasons why one would need tooth extractions. From painful wisdom tooth to tooth that has been decayed or broken, dentists or oral surgeons can suggest tooth extractions in case they do not find any other dental restorative method suitable for you. Cases that are complicated are handled by oral surgeons rather than your family dentist.
There are various types of tooth extractions depending on the shape, size, location, and position of your teeth. Simple extractions do not require many hassles and can be done by the dentist. Surgical extractions are complicated and can involve the removal of gum tissues.
Before the process of extractions is executed, your dentist will check if any other remedy will work for you or not. They will check the condition of your teeth and will also ask you about your medical history.
