Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction is the process of removing teeth that cannot be saved with treatment or that threaten oral health. Thanks to developing technology and anesthesia methods, tooth extraction has now become a quick and painless procedure.

The decision to extract a tooth may be made due to advanced decay, fracture, infection, impacted teeth or orthodontic reasons. A detailed examination and radiographic evaluation are performed before the procedure.

The area to be removed is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. If necessary, surgical extraction may be preferred.

Things to Consider After Tooth Extraction:

• Hot food and drinks should not be consumed for the first 24 hours.

• Smoking and alcohol use are strictly not recommended.

• Spitting or using a straw should be avoided

• Medicines recommended by the doctor should be used regularly.

• If necessary, check-ups should be made.

With the right application and care, the healing process progresses quickly and smoothly. Gaps that occur after tooth extraction can be completed with appropriate prosthetic or implant treatments.
