Tooth extraction is a dental procedure designed to remove one or more teeth from their sockets, performed by experienced dentists at Richter Clinic. Our priority is to ensure the comfort and safety of patients throughout the process.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Tooth extraction becomes necessary in specific cases due to irreparable damage, tooth crowding, or other compelling reasons. Before proceeding with tooth extraction, our dentist conducts a thorough examination to determine the necessity, as this procedure is only undertaken when no other viable options exist.
Tooth extraction is typically required for patients who:
- Have a damaged tooth requiring the removal of pus-filled content.
- Experience pain, mouth infection, and a threat to surrounding teeth due to a damaged wisdom tooth.
- Encounter dental misalignment due to problematic wisdom teeth.
- Have damaged teeth due to complicated gingivitis.
- The primary goals of dental extraction include relieving pain, preventing infection spread, and adjusting dentition. Richter Clinic offers tooth extraction services for adults and children, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable environment for young patients through unique methods employed by our dentists.
How is Dental Extraction Performed?
- Consultation: During the dental consultation, the dentist evaluates the patient’s dental condition and determines the necessity for tooth extraction or explores alternative solutions such as tooth filling or treating gum disease.
- Preparation for the Procedure: After confirming the need for tooth extraction, the dentist explains the procedure details, introduces the process, and advises the patient.
- Tooth Extraction: The process varies depending on the tooth’s condition. Simple extractions are performed for fully erupted teeth, while more complex cases involving damaged or hard-to-reach teeth may require surgical intervention.
- Aftercare: Richter’s dentist provides post-procedure recommendations to minimise discomfort, swelling, and bleeding during the tooth extraction healing period.
