When Is Tooth Extraction Required?

Tooth removal may be recommended in situations such as:

• Severe decay beyond restoration

   

• Advanced gum disease causing mobility

   

• Fractured teeth that cannot be repaired

   

• Impacted wisdom teeth

   

• Orthodontic treatment requirements

   

• Infected teeth not suitable for root canal treatment

   

Before recommending extraction, we perform a clinical examination and digital RVG imaging to assess the condition accurately.

Simple Tooth Extraction

A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is visible and accessible.

The procedure typically involves:

• Local anesthesia for comfort

   

• Gentle loosening of the tooth

   

• Controlled removal

   

• Post-operative instructions for healing

   

Most patients recover within a few days with minimal discomfort.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth often do not erupt properly due to lack of space. They may remain partially erupted or completely impacted.

Common symptoms include:

• Pain at the back of the jaw

   

• Swelling

   

• Recurrent infection

   

• Difficulty opening the mouth

   

• Food trapping around partially erupted teeth

   

Early evaluation helps prevent complications.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

An impacted tooth may be:

• Partially impacted

   

• Fully impacted

   

• Positioned at an angle

   

Digital RVG imaging helps assess the position of the tooth and surrounding structures before planning removal.

Surgical removal is performed carefully to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues.

Surgical Approach & Comfort

Surgical extractions are performed under adequate local anesthesia.

We ensure:

• Clear explanation before the procedure

   

• Aseptic surgical protocol

   

• Gentle tissue handling

   

• Post-operative care guidance

   

Healing varies depending on the complexity of the extraction, but most patients resume routine activities within a short period.

Jaw Fractures & Cysts (Initial Management & Referral)

Certain complex conditions such as:

• Jaw fractures

   

• Large cystic lesions

   

require specialized surgical management.

After initial assessment and imaging, appropriate referral or coordinated care may be recommended when required. Accurate diagnosis is essential before any surgical intervention.

Aftercare & Healing

Proper post-operative care supports smooth recovery.

Patients are advised regarding:

• Medication usage

   

• Diet modifications

   

• Oral hygiene precautions

   

• Follow-up visits

   

Temporary swelling or mild discomfort is normal and gradually subsides.
