Tooth Extraction
Uncomplicated Extraction
The common goal of professional dentists is to protect and treat the natural teeth that are a part of the genetics of a person. If it is not possible, tooth extraction becomes mandatory.
[Tooth extraction should be performed in a way that does not cause complications to prevent other teeth from being affected and to replace them in the healthiest way.]
Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Extraction
What are the conditions for Tooth Extraction?
✓ In severe decay and fractures after trauma, the tooth is extracted.
✓ Teeth that cannot hold on to the bone tissue, which is severely weakened due to untreated gum disease and wobbling teeth are extracted.
✓ Deciduous teeth that have not fallen out in time are extracted so that they do not interfere with the natural development of the growing permanent tooth.
✓ In some orthodontic treatments, the need to gain space in the jaw arises to position the teeth appropriately. In such cases, the tooth can be extracted even if it is healthy. However, these types of extractions should be well planned by expert orthodontists.
✓ Impacted teeth are extracted if they damage the jaw structure and other teeth.
[The most important point in tooth extraction is to perform the procedure in a way that will not damage the jaw and adjacent teeth.]

What Should Be Paid Attention To After Tooth Extraction?
