Tooth Extraction<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
When a tooth has been broken or damaged because of decay, your dentist will want to fix it with a filling, crown, or another dental treatment.\u00a0 But if too much damage has occurred and the tooth <\/span>can not<\/span> be repaired, the tooth will need to be extracted\/removed from <\/span>its<\/span> socket within the bone.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from damage and decay, here are some other common reasons why a tooth might need to be removed:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Extra teeth that block another tooth from coming in<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Baby teeth don\u2019t fall out in time to allow the permanent to come in<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0If braces are an option, tooth extraction might be needed to create more room for the teeth that are being moved into place.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Someone receiving radiation to the head and neck.\u00a0 If teeth are in the field of radiation, they may need to be removed.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Someone who is receiving cancer drugs may develop infected teeth.\u00a0 These drugs can weaken the immune system.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Wisdom teeth\/third molars,<\/span> are taken out usually before or after they erupt in the mouth.\u00a0 <\/span>Usually,<\/span> they come in during the late teens or early 20\u2019s. Removal is needed if they are decayed, infected, or there just simply isn\u2019t enough room in the mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Two Types of Extractions<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Simple Extraction<\/span><\/div>\n

Performed on a tooth that can be seen in the mouth.\u00a0 A general dentist usually does simple extractions.\u00a0 The dentist will loosen the tooth with an instrument called an elevator.\u00a0 He or she then uses an instrument called forceps to remove the tooth. <\/span>Family Cosmetic Dentist Fairhope AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Surgical Extraction<\/span><\/div>\n

A more complex procedure.\u00a0 Used if a tooth is broken off at the gum line or has yet to erupt in the mouth.\u00a0 Oral maxillofacial surgeons usually perform this procedure, although a general dentist can also perform this extraction.\u00a0 The doctor will make a small incision into the gum to surgically remove the broken tooth or impacted wisdom <\/span>tooth.\u00a0 Sometimes it is necessary to remove some of the bone around the tooth or to cut the tooth in half to extract it.\u00a0<\/span>Family Cosmetic Dentist Fairhope AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
