What is a Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is often necessary when a tooth is beyond repair or poses a risk to the surrounding teeth and gums. There are two main types of tooth extractions:

  • Simple Extraction: Performed on teeth that are visible in the mouth. The tooth is loosened and removed using specialized tools.
  • Surgical Extraction: Required for teeth that are impacted, broken, or not fully erupted. This involves a small incision in the gum to access the tooth.

At Clove Dental, we use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure a pain-free and efficient procedure.

Signs You Might Need a Tooth Extraction

Certain symptoms and conditions may indicate the need for a tooth extraction, including:

  • Severe Tooth Pain:  Persistent pain that doesn’t improve with other treatments.
  • Extensive Decay or Damage: A tooth that cannot be restored with a filling, crown, or root canal.
  • Wisdom Teeth Issues: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth that cause discomfort, crowding, or infections.
  • Overcrowding: A tooth extraction may be necessary to create space for orthodontic treatment.
  • Gum Disease:Advanced gum disease can lead to tooth instability and require extraction.

 

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, visit Clove Dental in Beverly Hills for a thorough evaluation. Our team will recommend the best treatment plan for your needs.
