Tooth extraction is a relatively quick and outpatient procedure that is performed for several major reasons, including tooth decay, gum disease, wisdom tooth problems, and tooth infection. Sometimes teenagers and adults are forced to pull their wisdom teeth.

Also, people who need dental braces (orthodontics that is used to correct the shape of the teeth or to fix jaw problems), in some cases have to pull one or two teeth to provide enough space for the rest of the teeth and correct the form of the teeth properly. In addition, people undergoing chemotherapy or undergoing organ transplants may need to have their teeth extracted on the advice of their periodontist (dentist) to maintain oral health. In this article, published from Amitis Dental Clinic, we will fully discuss the dental extraction procedure.

What is dental extraction?

A dental extraction is one of the most common methods of treatment in dentistry that is performed in a few minutes. A dental extraction is an ultimate solution to eliminate tooth decay, as it prevents infection in other teeth.

Many people are afraid of dental extraction because it is painful; But with the advancement of innovation in dental treatment, the pain of dental extraction has now been reduced to the greatest extent possible.

How to Prepare

Before dental extraction, be sure to consult your doctor about the medications you are taking in the first session, as well as about vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter medications you are taking. You should also notify the dentist if you have any specific health condition or illness. Diseases such as congenital heart defects, liver disease, thyroid disease, hypertension, nephropathy, cardiovascular problems, adrenal disease (weakness and disorder of the adrenal glands located above the kidney), weakened immune system, and a history of bacterial endocarditis (infection of heart valves and lining). It should be noted that in some situations, it is expected that the tooth extraction process will take longer when you have an infection, your immune system is weakened, or you have a specific health condition, in which case the dentist will prescribe antibiotics for you a few days before tooth extraction.

Different Methods of Dental Extraction

A dental extraction may be simple or surgical, depending on the type of tooth. If your tooth can be seen and is easily accessible, it is easy and quick to extract; But if the tooth is impacted (such as a wisdom tooth), it can be extracted surgically.

• Simple Tooth Extraction

To get a tooth extracted quickly and simply, you first receive a local anesthetic. The dentist then loosens the tooth with a tool called an elevator and removes the tooth with forceps.

• Surgical Dental Extraction

For surgery and tooth extraction, you will generally receive local anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia (injection), as determined by your dentist, so that you can relax and feel no pain during the surgery.

First, a small incision is made in the gums to make the tooth. In this procedure, the doctor may need to remove the bone around the tooth or cut the tooth before extraction. This ends the surgery by pulling the teeth and suturing the gums in place.

Dry Socket After Tooth Extraction

Usually, a blood clot must form in the tooth cavity after the tooth is extracted. If this blood clot does not form or comes out of place after tooth extraction, a condition called alveolar stasis “dry socket” is occurred. When a dry socket forms after tooth extraction, the gingival bone will be visible.

Dry socket is extremely painful and, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as delayed healing, infection at the site of tooth extraction, and infection that spreads to the gingival bone. In the case of a dry socket, the dentist will protect the area for several days by placing a bandage on the dry socket. Dry socket is more likely to occur after wisdom tooth extraction than other teeth, and if you have already experienced this condition after tooth extraction, you will probably experience it again. Therefore, it is necessary to inform your dentist of this matter. If the gingival bone was visible to you after tooth extraction, you are affected by the dry socket. Other symptoms include severe pain in the jaw, bad breath, and an unpleasant taste of the mouth. If you notice any of the symptoms, visit your dentist immediately.

Soft tissue and Hard Tissue Grafting

When gingival bone tissue is destroyed due to periodontitis (gum disease), it is possible to resolve the problem by surgically grafting soft tissue and hard tissue.

• Hard Tissue Grafting

Hard tissue or bone grafting is a simple outpatient surgery that is necessary for people’s health. Hard tissue grafting is necessary when the impacted tooth is completely located in the gum bone and surgery is needed to extract it. By grafting hard tissue (bone), it is possible to stimulate the growth of damaged or destroyed gum bones, and the gum tissue can also be reconstructed.

• Soft Tissue Grafting

Soft tissue or gingival surgery is necessary to prevent the progression of gingival retraction and to correct the gum form. As the gums recede, the roots of the teeth become exposed and prone to allergies and decay. With soft tissue grafting (gum grafting), the exposed root can be removed by removing tissue from the gums or roof of the mouth to prevent further retraction of the gingival tissue.

Concluding Remarks

Factors such as excessive tooth decay, tooth infection, wisdom tooth problems, and gum disease can lead to tooth extraction. Tooth extraction is a quick and easy method; But if the tooth is impacted and not accessible, it requires surgery. After tooth extraction, a blood clot should form in the tooth cavity; But if a blood clot does not form for any reason, the patient will develop a complication called dry socket, which requires immediate treatment. You will usually experience mild pain and discomfort after tooth extraction, which can be relieved with an analgesic or anti-inflammatory medication. You should follow your doctor’s advice to avoid serious problems after tooth extraction. The dose of anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain is usually three to four times a day for three days. Note that 24 hours after tooth extraction, you can rinse the tooth extraction area with a solution of water and salt. This is very useful for keeping the tooth cavity clean. You can also eliminate the swelling by using an ice pack on the swollen area. to receive cosmetic and therapeutic dental services, please visit the website of Amitis Dental Clinic, and obtain the necessary instructions to receive various dental services.

Dental extraction in Iran FAQ

Is tooth extraction painful?

No, the patient is injected with anesthesia before tooth extraction; Therefore, the patient will not feel any pain. In addition, many of the teeth about to extract have dead nerves, so the patient will feel no pain.

Can I smoke after tooth extraction?

No; Smoking is prohibited after tooth extraction; Because it causes blood clots to be removed from the tooth cavity and leads to dry socket problems. Since this blood clot plays an essential role in wound healing, the healing process slows down when it is removed and the patient will go through a lot of pain. In addition, smoking after tooth extraction may lead to complications such as dizziness, hypertension, and infection.

When should we see a dentist after a tooth extraction?

After tooth extraction, feeling pain is normal as the anesthetic effect is reduced by taking painkillers. You may also have very little swelling and bleeding; But if the swelling, bleeding, and pain continues for more than 4 hours after tooth extraction, you must visit your dentist.

What instructions should we follow after tooth extraction?

For the first 24 hours after tooth extraction, you must follow the instructions below:

Avoid rinsing your mouth so that the formed blood clot is not removed.
For the first 45 minutes after tooth extraction, apply pressure with clean gauze to the area of the extracted tooth.
