Tooth removal, also called tooth extraction, is one of the most common procedures where the tooth is completely removed from the jaw bone. This procedure generally takes 1 appointment to complete.
Ideally the tooth is expected to stay intact for your lifetime. However, lack of oral hygiene, calcium deficiency and other oral problems can result in complete tooth decay or infection in the root of the tooth.
An effective solution in such cases is tooth extraction. Dentists always suggest tooth extraction in Salt Lake Kolkata or any nearby location to solve severe dental problems permanently.
Urgent Situations That Can Lead To Tooth Extraction
• Decaying of Tooth
When the Mouth gets filled with bacteria in the form of plaque, they start to feed on sugar particles from food. As the bacteria consume the sugar, it releases acid that damages the tooth enamel, causing cavities. In the primary stage, the cavity is easy to treat. However, if the cavity becomes extreme and the enamel is damaged, it becomes necessary to extract the tooth.
• Overcrowding of Teeth
Dentists also suggest tooth extractions to make space for teeth for their movement and proper alignment. Overcrowding gives an inappropriate smile, which is not good to see. Even certain alignment issues can lead to severe pain and interference with biting. To solve this, extracting the tooth and making room for alignment is important.
• Pressure and Trauma
Any pressure or force on the teeth can damage them to the point that they are unable to be fixed. When any fracture or crack extends to the tooth root, there is no better way than to extract the tooth. It is done to avoid pain and further spread of infections.
• Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or the third molars at the back of your Mouth, are usually the last teeth set when you grow. The teeth might become impactful, grow at a bad angle or erupt partially through the gums. In this situation, your dentist suggests tooth extraction to reduce pain and bleeding.
