Tooth Extraction – When and Why It’s Needed
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure used to remove teeth that are damaged beyond repair, causing crowding, or contributing to infection. At Dental Clinic Turkey, our top priority is to ensure a gentle and pain-free extraction process, supported by expert hands and modern technology.
When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
You may need a tooth extraction if:
- The tooth is severely decayed or broken
- Gum disease has weakened the bone supporting the tooth
- A wisdom tooth is impacted or infected
- Teeth are overcrowded, especially before orthodontic treatment
- A baby tooth hasn’t fallen out naturally
What to Expect During the Procedure
Tooth extraction can be simple or surgical, depending on the condition of the tooth.
Simple Extraction: For visible teeth. A local anesthetic is applied, and the tooth is gently loosened and removed.
Surgical Extraction: For broken, impacted, or hidden teeth. This may involve an incision and sometimes removing bone tissue.
Thanks to modern anesthetics, the process is virtually painless, and most patients feel only slight pressure during the procedure.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your tooth is extracted, we’ll give you clear aftercare instructions to minimize swelling and promote healing. Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two. Avoid smoking, spitting, or using straws for 24 hours, and stick to soft foods initially.
