Tooth Extraction
Aside from damage and decay, here are some other common reasons why a tooth might need to be removed:
Two Types of Extractions
Performed on a tooth that can be seen in the mouth. A general dentist usually does simple extractions. The dentist will loosen the tooth with an instrument called an elevator. He or she then uses an instrument called forceps to remove the tooth. Family Cosmetic Dentist Fairhope AL
A more complex procedure. Used if a tooth is broken off at the gum line or has yet to erupt in the mouth. Oral maxillofacial surgeons usually perform this procedure, although a general dentist can also perform this extraction. The doctor will make a small incision into the gum to surgically remove the broken tooth or impacted wisdom tooth. Sometimes it is necessary to remove some of the bone around the tooth or to cut the tooth in half to extract it. Family Cosmetic Dentist Fairhope AL
