Simple Tooth Extraction
Simple tooth extraction is a common dental procedure used to remove a tooth that is visible in the mouth and easily accessible. This type of extraction is typically performed on teeth that are damaged, decayed, or causing overcrowding, and cannot be restored with treatments like fillings or crowns. The procedure is straightforward, involving the loosening and removal of the tooth using specialized dental instruments. Simple tooth extraction is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the patient experiences minimal discomfort during the procedure.
*Who is it Suitable For?*
Simple tooth extraction is suitable for patients who need to remove a tooth that is damaged beyond repair, severely decayed, or causing dental alignment issues. It’s also appropriate for patients who have loose teeth due to periodontal disease or for those preparing for orthodontic treatments where tooth removal is necessary to create space. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to address dental issues promptly and prevent potential complications, such as infection or further damage to surrounding teeth. Simple tooth extraction is typically recommended when less invasive treatments are not viable, ensuring the health and functionality of the patient’s mouth.
