Miami Essential Dental
If you have a tooth damaged by decay or broken, then our dentist at Miami Essential Dental Clinic will try to fix it at first using different types of restorative methods like crowns, fillings, etc. In case the damaged tooth is beyond repair, then you might have to undergo tooth extraction. If you are experiencing sudden pain in your teeth or jaws, do not delay contacting us. Remember that the more you wait, the more damaged your tooth will get, and as a result, we might not be able to save them.
There are many reasons why you might need a tooth extraction like:
- If the decay has reached deep in your tooth
- In case an infection has destroyed your teeth and its surrounding areas
- If there is not enough space for your teeth to grow
Partially erupted teeth can cause a lot of pain, and it also has a higher chance of getting an infection. Also, as the impacted teeth do not have enough room to grow, they affect the surrounding teeth’ alignment. In such situations, extractions can help you prevent all the problems and save you from future pains.
Before our dentist decides to extract your teeth, he will conduct your thorough oral check-up. He would also look through your medical and dental history, along with taking X-rays of your mouth. Once they are convinced that extraction is the right treatment procedure for you, then they would proceed. The X-ray would help them understand your problem’s complexity, and depending on the reports, the dentist will decide whether you need a simple extraction or a surgical one.
Before the procedure starts, you will be given local anesthesia to numb the concerned area. Once done, your dentist will loosen your teeth with the elevator and extract the same with forceps. Once finished, he/she will seal the roots of your teeth with stitches. If you want to know more about the tooth extraction process, contact us at Miami Essential Dental Clinic.
