What is Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is the process of removing teeth that are too damaged, infected or incompatible with the jaw structure to be treated. While it is ideal to preserve permanent teeth for life, in some cases extraction may be unavoidable.

Common conditions requiring tooth extraction:

  •  The tooth becomes unsalvageable due to advanced decay and loss of material
  • Severe infection or abscess formation, infected teeth that cannot be cured by root canal treatment
  • Teeth that have lost their function as a result of trauma, impact or fracture
  • Extraction of teeth that do not fit in the jaw before orthodontic treatment
  • Pain and infections caused by impacted or partially impacted wisdom teeth

  • Personalized Treatment Plan for Each Patient
  • Long Term Solution
  • Advanced Technology Utilization

How is a tooth extraction performed?

Depending on the location of the tooth and the complexity of the situation requiring extraction, tooth extraction is performed by simple or surgical extraction.

Simple Tooth Extraction

  • It is usually applied for teeth that are visible in the mouth.
  • The tooth and surrounding tissues are numbed with local anesthesia.
  • The tooth is loosened and extracted with special instruments.
  • The procedure is short and recovery is fast.

Surgical Tooth Extraction

  • It is applied for the extraction of impacted, impacted or broken teeth.
  • It is performed under local or general anesthesia.
  • The gum is surgically opened and the tooth may need to be removed in pieces.
  • The recovery time may be longer than with simple extraction, but modern surgical techniques ensure minimal trauma.

In cases where there is not enough space in the jaw, wisdom teeth may not erupt completely and remain impacted or may be half-imbedded and cause infection. In such cases, extraction is recommended to avoid damaging the jaw structure and causing pain and infection.

Things to Consider After Tooth Extraction

🦷 Spitting, gargling and hot foods should be avoided for the first 24 hours.
🦷 If stitches have been placed, they should be checked within the period recommended by the physician.
🦷 The area should not be touched for the first few hours after the extraction to keep the blood clot in place.
🦷 Smoking and alcohol consumption may delay the healing process, so it should be avoided.
🦷 To protect the extraction site, hard foods should be avoided and soft and warm foods should be preferred.
