Why are Teeth Extracted?<\/h2>\n

While we do everything we can to save teeth from extraction, the American Dental Association does recommend certain instances where a tooth should be extracted. When a tooth has suffered serious trauma, infection, disease, or significant overcrowding is present, it may be best to remove a tooth. In addition, if a tooth can no longer be repaired with a crown or filling from injury or excessive decay, the tooth should be removed. In some cases, the underlying bone may no longer provide a tooth with adequate support, making the loss of the tooth inevitable. As a result, it\u2019s best to remove the tooth before any additional damage occurs.<\/p>\n

Tooth Extraction in Manchester Center<\/h2>\n

A simple extraction is used to remove a tooth that can be seen in the mouth. This is a fairly simple procedure that involves loosening the tooth with a dental tool known as an elevator. Then, forceps are used to remove the tooth. However, if the tooth is not visible, a surgical approach may be necessary, such as for teeth that have broken off at the gum line or an impacted wisdom teeth<\/a>. To surgically extract a tooth, an oral surgeon will make an incision in the gum line. The tooth is then removed and sutures are often needed to reclose the gum.<\/p>\n

After you have had a tooth removed, there is a recovery process, especially when the tooth was removed surgically. For surgical extractions, you will need to bite down on gauze for about 30 minutes to help stop the bleeding. In addition, you will need to stick with soft foods and keep the area clean. When brushing and flossing, be careful to avoid trauma to the area.<\/p>\n

Recovery for simple extractions is relatively minor. You can use ice to help relieve any pain or swelling that may occur. You will also want to eat softer foods for a few days while also keeping the area clean.<\/p>\n
