            Tooth extraction is a dental treatment that gives a solution to some dental problems. Some dental diseases can be quite dangerous in terms of infection. In those cases, the infected tooth can be extracted.

            Tooth decaying is the most common dental problem. This problem causes the tooth to become unusable. Decaying increases bacteria in the tooth and it damages oral health totally.

What is wisdom tooth extraction?

            Teeth growing begins with deciduous (milk teeth) teeth in the infancy period. Then, the milk teeth gradually fall out to leave their places for adult teeth. In the beginning, there are 28 teeth but people have four more. Those four teeth are called wisdom teeth. For many individuals, those molars do not come out in a healthy way. It causes pain and dental disorders. For example, they may remain embedded or semi-buried in the jaw. Due to insufficient place they can damage other teeth.

            Wisdom tooth extraction can be considered as the branch of the tooth extraction treatment. When it comes to wisdom teeth the extraction should be necessary. Impacted and semi impacted or cramped wisdom teeth can also cause inflammation of the gum, bad breath, and tissue loss in the roots and enamel of neighbouring teeth.

            In order to eliminate the consequences of wisdom teeth, you will need a surgical tooth extraction. In the beginning, your dentist will evaluate your X-ray results. And if it is necessary, the dentist will perform the tooth extraction.

How to do tooth extraction?

            Tooth extraction is an operation that is only performed by dentists. The main aim of this treatment is to remove the infected or damaged tooth.  For many individuals, tooth extraction treatment can be so frightening and painful. In fact, there is no need to worry about this treatment. Before the operation, your dentist will do local anaesthesia and even in some cases, dentists may prefer sedation for anxious patients. Local anaesthesia is applied to the surrounding sides of the patient's problematic tooth. It takes a while for the anaesthesia to affect the mouth. If there is more than one tooth that is extracted the amount of local anaesthesia is also increased to prevent pain after tooth extraction.

            After the anaesthesia stage, the dentist begins to do the extraction on your teeth. First, the gum and the bone tissues which surrounds the tooth are cut by special dental equipment. Then the infected or damaged tooth begins to be loosened from the jawbone. In this part, the dentist will use forceps which help to remove the tooth from the jawbone.

            It is quite normal for bleeding after tooth extraction. Also, the cavity should be buffered in order to prevent bleeding. When the bleeding begins to stop the dentist will put special paste to eliminate bacteria and pain in the cavity. This special paste also helps the tooth extraction healing process. After the operation, the dentist may give you paracetamol or antibiotics to accelerate tooth extraction recovery. Also, tooth extraction healing stages are quite easy. In one week you will get total recovery.
