Introduction
Tooth extraction might sound intimidating, but it’s a common and essential dental procedure that helps maintain your overall oral health. At Nalamm Dental Clinic, our experienced team, led by Dr. Aravind Chakravarthy, ensures that each extraction is performed with the utmost care and comfort.
What is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. This procedure is necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, gum disease, tooth crowding, or damage that cannot be repaired. Our clinic uses advanced techniques and equipment to make this process as smooth and painless as possible.
How to Prepare for a Tooth Extraction
- Consultation: Schedule an appointment with Dr. Aravind Chakravarthy to discuss your symptoms and get a thorough examination.
- X-rays: We may take X-rays to understand the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone.
- Plan the Procedure: Our team will provide you with pre-extraction instructions, which might include fasting or adjusting medications.
- Local Anesthesia: On the day of the extraction, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area.
Why Tooth Extraction is Important
- Prevents Spread of Infection: Removing a severely decayed or infected tooth prevents the spread of infection to other teeth.
- Reduces Pain: Extraction can eliminate persistent tooth pain and discomfort.
- Corrects Overcrowding: It can create space for proper alignment of teeth, especially before orthodontic treatment.
- Improves Oral Health: It helps maintain the overall health of your gums and remaining teeth.
