Tooth Extraction
Tooth Extraction in Forest Hills, Queens
In some cases, it’s not always possible to save, cure or restore a tooth. Sometimes it needs to be removed if root canal treatment and installation of crowns or fillings are ineffective or not recommended.
Tooth extractions at our clinic in Forest Hills, Queens, are performed only when we are certain that a living tooth cannot be saved or that it would be detrimental to the patient’s health. This is the most drastic technique in dental practice.
4 Things to Know About Dental Extractions
- It is a dental operation during which a tooth is removed from its socket. An empty space remains in the place of the extracted tooth and over time, an implant or dental bridge can be installed.
- A tooth extraction can be planned or urgent. For example, it may be urgent if there is severe pain due to inflammation.
- The amount of harmful bacteria that can damage your healthy teeth and gums is greatly reduced as a result of the extraction.
- Before removing the tooth, the area around it is anesthetized.
When a Teeth Extraction is Necessary: Planned and Emergency Situations
There are several reasons for performing a scheduled extraction:
- The tooth is completely destroyed and it is impossible to cure it.
- The tooth is loosened due to the advanced stage of periodontitis.
- Some teeth have an atypical position and this makes it difficult to speak or chew food thoroughly.
- There is a cyst or granuloma on the tooth root, that of which cannot be removed.
- A tooth injures the mucous membrane of the oral cavity.
- It is necessary for orthopedic or orthodontic treatment.
Wisdom teeth removal is nearly always planned. These are the third and final set of molars that erupt at the posterior corners of the upper and lower portions of the normal adult mouth. They increase the risk of inflammatory processes by making at-home oral care difficult.
The problem with wisdom teeth is that they do not play a functional role in the oral cavity and often erupt too close to existing permanent teeth. This causes crowding, malocclusion, and other problems. It is often necessary to remove wisdom teeth to avoid serious issues in the future. In general, the absence of the four wisdom teeth has no hindrance on a persons ability with biting, speaking, or eating.
A wisdom tooth extraction is a complex surgery. Access to it is limited; its root canals are often twisted and the tooth itself often does not develop as it should and grows already destroyed.
A dentist prescribes the emergency tooth extraction if:
- There is an acute suppurative inflammation in the gum near the tooth, which deepens into the gum and can affect the bone tissue.
- The tooth or its root is broken; causing severe pain.
- There is a fracture of the coronal section without a possibility of further recovery.
