Tooth Extraction (Surgery)
Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Rotten
Tooth decay can cause tissue loss and fractures in the tooth. If the decay is detected at an early stage, the tooth can be restored to a great extent with methods such as filling or canal.
However, tooth extraction becomes necessary if it is to the highest degree.
Gum Diseases
Disorders and tissue loss in the gum surrounding the tooth and the surrounding tissues of the tooth may cause the tooth to remain unsupported and shake, in such cases, the tooth may need to be extracted.
Orthodontic Treatments
If the space narrowing in the jaws is more than the width of one or two teeth in the measurements made before the orthodontic treatment is started, one or two of the healthy teeth may need to be extracted in order to gain space for the other teeth to be properly aligned.
Impacted Status
An impacted tooth may cause pain, pressure or infection. In such cases, tooth extraction is the right decision for the health of other teeth.

Fear of Tooth Extraction and Implementation of Treatment
Tooth extraction is a treatment offered in a very comfortable way under today’s conditions. Thanks to local anesthesia, the procedure can be performed painlessly. However, if the fear does not go away despite this, general anesthesia can also be applied if necessary.
Recovery Process After Tooth Extraction
Since local anesthesia is applied during tooth extraction, there is no uncomfortable pain. However, pain may occur after the effect of anesthesia wears off. If a standard tooth extraction is performed, the pain lasts for a maximum of 3 days. However, if surgical tooth extraction is performed, it is possible to have pain for up to 7 days. In this process, it is important to pay maximum attention and apply the conditions specified by the doctor. In this way, the healing process is more successful and shorter.
