Tooth extraction is the process of removing teeth that pose a threat to oral health due to decay, infection or other reasons in a controlled manner. This process, carefully planned by your physician, helps protect your oral and general health.

Why Might Tooth Extraction Be Necessary?

• Deep caries and infected teeth

• Loose teeth due to gum disease

• Broken, cracked or unresponsive teeth

• Impacted or malpositioned wisdom teeth

• To create space before orthodontic treatment

How to Apply?

• The area to be scanned is numbed with local anesthesia.

• The tooth is removed with special tools without damaging the surrounding tissues.

• If necessary, stitches are placed and a dressing is applied.

In simple extractions, the procedure is completed in a short time. Surgical extraction may be required for impacted teeth or teeth that remain in the bone.

Things to Consider After the Procedure

• You should not smoke for 24 hours after the extraction.

• Hot foods and drinks should be avoided.

• Spitting and drinking through a straw should be avoided.

• Painkillers recommended by the physician should be used regularly and oral hygiene should be taken into consideration.
