Extractions

When a tooth is damaged beyond repair or is causing severe pain, extraction may be necessary to restore comfort and oral health. Dr. Nivaidita Rastogi, an experienced BDS Dental Surgeon, offers professional and compassionate dental extraction services, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience for patients. This guide provides an in-depth look into dental extractions, covering reasons for extraction, the process, and why Dr. Rastogi is a trusted choice for this procedure.

A dental extraction involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. Dr. Rastogi performs extractions with precision, using modern tools and techniques to ensure the procedure is as gentle and pain-free as possible.

Types

Types of Tooth Extractions

Simple Extractions

Performed on visible teeth, simple extractions are quick and require minimal recovery time. Local anesthesia is usually sufficient, making this procedure straightforward and effective.

Surgical Extractions

For teeth that are not easily accessible, like impacted wisdom teeth, surgical extractions are necessary. Dr. Rastogi’s expertise ensures a safe and efficient procedure with a focus on minimizing discomfort.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth often cause complications due to lack of space in the mouth. Dr. Rastogi specializes in wisdom tooth removal, a common surgical extraction aimed at preventing future dental issues.

Reasons

Common Reasons for Tooth Extraction

  • Severe Decay or Damage

    • When decay extends deep into the tooth and compromises its structure, extraction may be necessary to prevent further pain and infection.

  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth

    • Wisdom teeth are the last to emerge, and they often become impacted, causing discomfort and potentially damaging nearby teeth.

  • Crowding and Orthodontic Needs

    • If a patient’s mouth is overcrowded, extracting certain teeth can create space and allow for better alignment.

  • Gum Disease and Infection

    • In cases of advanced gum disease, a tooth’s support structure may be weakened, leading to mobility.

Benefits

Risks and Benefits of Tooth Extractions

Preventing Infection

An infected or decayed tooth can spread bacteria to surrounding teeth and gums. Extraction removes the source of infection, protecting overall oral health.

Reducing Pain and Inflammation

By removing damaged or impacted teeth, extractions help alleviate pain and prevent further inflammation that could affect the surrounding teeth and gums.

Preserving Overall Oral Health

Extraction may be necessary to preserve oral health when a tooth is beyond repair, preventing further complications that could affect the jawbone or adjacent teeth.

General Information

Dr. Rastogi uses local anesthesia and, if necessary, sedation to ensure the procedure is comfortable. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the extraction.

Initial recovery typically takes one to two weeks, depending on the extraction type. Dr. Rastogi provides guidance to promote faster healing.

Soft foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, and smoothies are recommended. Avoid using straws, as suction can disrupt the healing process.

Following Dr. Rastogi’s aftercare instructions, including saltwater rinses and avoiding hard foods, can help prevent infection.

Dr. Rastogi discusses options such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures if a replacement is needed, helping restore function and appearance.
