Tooth Extractions
Tooth Extractions in Adelaide
Damaged Teeth
While dentists would prefer to save a tooth over pulling it, sometimes an extraction is the best option. If the tooth is severely decayed and beyond repair, you will need it removed. Extractions, however, are not just for damaged or dying teeth.
Creating Space
Sometimes, usually when one is getting braces, the teeth are too crowded in the mouth and a tooth needs to be pulled to create space for the rest of the teeth. Additionally, if baby teeth do not fall out and adult teeth are coming in, the baby tooth will need to be pulled.
What to Expect
Your dentist will take a few X-rays before the extraction to ensure that they can see all of the tooth roots and other information that they need. You will then be given a local anaesthetic so that you won’t feel any pain. Sedation is also an option for anxious patients.
