Dental or tooth extractions are often necessary procedures for teens to adults to have their teeth/tooth surgically removed. A few of the most common reasons for a dental or tooth extraction to occur is to remove wisdom teeth, excessive tooth decay, tooth crowding, or a tooth infection. Often times we notice patients who have braces will need to have at least one to two teeth surgically removed to allow more room within their mouth for other teeth to shift into place properly. Another reason for this procedure to be booked is for patients who are undergoing chemotherapy, or if they are going for an organ transplant surgery, a dental or tooth extraction may be necessary, due to the teeth being compromised, and the mouth will need to be healthy for the surgery to allow successful healing time.   Dental or tooth extractions are often performed by a dental specialist, and is often a quick surgical outpatient procedure. This outpatient procedure will use general intravenous anesthesia, a local intravenous anesthesia, or if deemed medically necessary, a combination of both. Removing the visible teeth are the simple extractions for any dental extraction specialist; however, if it comes to extracting teeth that are broken, below the gum’s surface, or are impacted, these will need a more complex procedure, depending on the dental specialist you visit.   If you are looking to have a tooth extraction procedure completed due to a dental issue like an infection or something similar, or if you are wanting to have your wisdom teeth extracted, contact our office, Modern Family Dentistry today to schedule a consultation to review your dental health, dental checkup, and to find out costs for such a procedure.
