In some cases, a dentist will remove a tooth to make space for dental prosthetics or braces.
Dentists and oral surgeons remove teeth for various reasons.
Some examples include:
• dental cavities
• gum disease
• dental infections
• trauma or injury to the tooth or surrounding bone
• wisdom teeth complications
• preparation for a dental prosthesis
• preparation for dental braces, if the teeth are very crowded

FAQ

Typically, during a tooth extraction procedure, sedation is administered to the patient to make them feel relaxed and comfortable. Also, many teeth that are subjected to extraction have nerves that are dead or dying, which means that the affected tooth may not be able to send pain signals out.

Once the procedure is done, detailed at-home care instructions will be given to the patient. To speed up the recovery and avoid any complications, patients must follow the given at-home instructions diligently. However, do know that the recovery period varies from patient to patient.

Smoking following the procedure is prohibited, as it can be a reason for different complications. Smoking can also cause the formed blood clot to dislodge, which leads to a painful dry socket. This blood clot plays an essential role in the healing of the wound. Additionally, several complications may occur if the patient smokes after teeth extractions, such as high blood pressure, dizziness, dry socket, risk of getting an infection, and slower healing process.
