Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction besides tooth-filling is the other dental manipulation from which most of the people are afraid of, regardless of whether they had already experienced it before or not. It has to be noted, however, that tooth extraction is only performed when a tooth is irrecoverable. Today such methods are available which make tooth extraction perfectly painless.

Therefore, tooth extraction is only performed when conserving treatments are without success, with other words the tooth cannot be conserved in its actual condition by using an inlay, an onlay, a filling, or root canal therapy, and if its further deterioration cannot be prevented. Unfortunately, the number of tooth extractions is not low (even if the number of cases, where milk-teeth are extracted to have the permanent teeth grow nicely and normally, are deducted from this number). This is usually due to the almost total negligence of oral hygiene, but there are also cases when the teeth of the patients genetically or due to an illness become so deteriorated that even after a tooth conservation treatment the tooth finally has to be extracted.

The objective of painless dentistry is to make tooth extraction totally free of pain. For this not only an alleviative is injected in, but the gums are treated previously in a way that even the injection is not felt. After this step it is time for the extraction, of which the patient does not feel anything, even if the tooth is inflamed, or if the patient suffers from such type of an illness when total anaesthesia cannot be applied by traditional methods.

After extraction of the tooth, during the recovery period painlessness cannot be guaranteed as the healing of the wounds take a long time, and total painlessness cannot be achieved for such a long time.
