The Treatment
What Do Tooth Extractions Involve?
Your dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to see the roots and the surrounding bone. The area is numbed, and the tooth is removed. Some teeth come out more straightforwardly than others, depending on their position and condition; your dentist will explain what is needed in your case. You receive aftercare instructions before you leave. If a tooth will be missing, your dentist can also talk with you about replacement options, such as a dental implant, a bridge, or a denture.
Who Needs a Tooth Extraction?
People with a tooth that cannot be repaired, a severe infection, crowding, or a tooth that has been badly injured. Wisdom teeth are a common reason for removal; see our Wisdom Tooth Removal page for that service. For sudden pain, swelling, or an injured tooth, see Emergency Dental Treatment.
