Tooth Extraction

Below is the step-by-step process of the teeth removal:

1. To begin with, a comprehensive analysis of the structure of dentin is done to determine if removal is required. X-rays are also obtained to examine the position, structure, and adjacent bones.

    

2. Based on the patient’s choice, local anesthetic or sedation is employed to numb the area, improving comfort and causing them to relax in the event of anxiety during the procedure.

    

3. Then, the cavity is expanded by slowly oscillating the denticle from side to side, making the process easier. A special surgical tool is used to loosen it in its socket.

    

4. Two types of procurement are done: one easier and the other surgical. In the first method, the removal is performed if it has come out above the gumline.

    

5. In the surgical technique, teeth that have not erupted fully or present complex cases are extracted. The gum tissues are incised to expose the roots, or the bone surrounding the tooth is removed to allow retrieval.

    

6. Depending on the procedure needed, the tooth is extracted by exerting controlled force by the surgeon, without any injury to the surrounding tissues.

    

7. As soon as the exclusion is done, a clean gauze is pressed over the site, and the patient is requested to bite down and apply pressure. This is meant to initiate blood clotting and close off the site of bleeding.

    

8. Lastly, the patient is advised on the appointed date to return for checkups in order to review progress and avoid complications by acting in good time.
