Why Do I Need a Tooth Extracted?

There are a wide variety of reasons that a tooth may need to be extracted. This is caused by excessive decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a crown or filling. There is no way to compensate for the weak spots in a tooth this far gone so it must just be extracted. An extraction may also be necessary for orthodontic procedures.

This could be because you have extra teeth that are causing crowding and an improper bite pattern, or because you need braces and there is not enough space for the teeth to move. Extracting key teeth can give you back the freedom to cosmetically enhance your smile. One of the most common tooth extraction procedures involves your wisdom teeth. These teeth can cause a wide array of problems, and an extraction is almost always necessary to keep up the safety and health of the rest of your teeth.

Tooth Extraction Process

When you come in to get your tooth pulled, you will be administered an anesthetic, either local or general depending on needs and preference. Then, after the anesthetic is administered, we will gently rock the tooth from the socket, making an incision into the gums if need be to remove a more stubborn or impacted tooth. Then, we stitch up the gap so that it can heal properly, and give you care tips for the next few days following.

We know that this can be a very scary time, especially if you have never had to endure such a procedure before, but we can assure you that here at Edge Dental, you are in the best possible care and our experience holds us to a standard that makes our patients feel comfortable.
