Dental Extraction

 



Types

The right type of tooth extraction depends on the tooth’s shape, size, position, and location in the mouth. Dental surgeons may classify extractions as simple or surgical. A simple extraction involves a tooth that is visible above the gums and that a dentist can remove in one piece.   The Hempstead Dental is conveniently located near to the 641 10th St, Hempstead. We also provide various dental services in the nearby cities of Waller and Belleville  is the  best option available and affordable dentist near you.

A surgical extraction is more complicated and involves the removal of gum tissue, bone, or both. The surgeon may need to remove the tooth in pieces. Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt and usually the first to require extraction because in many people, they are impacted. This means that they have not fully emerged from the gums.

Preparation

A person will have a consultation with their dentist or oral surgeon prior to the extraction. During the consultation, the doctor will ask for a thorough medical history. They will also ask about any medications that the person is taking.

Some people need to stop or start taking certain medications in the days leading up to the surgery, depending on the amount of teeth, bone, or both to be removed. A person may also receive certain medications on the day of the surgery.

Stopping blood thinners

Many people take blood thinning medication to prevent the formation of blood clots in vessels. These medications can lead to more bleeding during surgery.

  • A dental surgeon can usually control bleeding at the site of the extraction by:
  • using topical clotting medications on the gums
  • packing the tooth socket with foam or dissolvable gauze
  • stitching up the extraction site
  • Using gauze and applying pressure after the procedure can also help stop bleeding.

However, anyone who takes blood thinners should let their dental surgeon know during the consultation. In order to tell whether the person should temporarily switch to a different blood thinner or stop taking this type of medication, the surgeon may need to see the results of a recent blood test.

Procedure

Before starting the extraction, the surgeon will take an X-ray of the person’s tooth. This imaging will help them evaluate the curvature and angle of the tooth’s root.

Once the local anesthetic has numbed the area, the surgeon will begin the extraction. They may remove the tooth in several pieces.

If the tooth is concealed beneath gum tissue or bone, the doctor may need to cut away the gum or remove the obstructing area of bone.

A person should not feel pain, but they can expect to feel pressure against the tooth. They may also hear grinding and cracking of bone or teeth. Some people find the experience unpleasant and distressing.

If a person does feel any pain, they should notify their dentist or oral surgeon immediately. The doctor will administer more numbing agent.
