Tooth Extraction
Unfortunately, teeth that cannot be saved with fillings or root canal treatment may need to be extracted. Apart from this, extraction may also be decided for teeth that damage – or could damage – other teeth, the jawbone or the gums, as well as for orthodontic purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions:
01. How Is a Tooth Extraction Performed?
Tooth extraction is performed under local anaesthesia. The tissues around the tooth are numbed with an anaesthetic injection. The dentist then uses special instruments to separate the tooth roots from the bone and gently removes the tooth.
02. Is Tooth Extraction Painful?
Since tooth extraction is performed under local anaesthesia, it is generally a painless procedure. You may feel slight discomfort during the procedure, but this is temporary.
03. How Long Does a Tooth Extraction Take?
Depending on the complexity of the tooth root and the patient's general condition, a tooth extraction can take from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
