What is Tooth Extraction?

Tooth extraction is a procedure performed under local anesthesia injected to remove a tooth. There are a number of reasons that require tooth extraction, such as:

· The tooth decay has reached deep into the tooth
· Gum disease
· An infection has destroyed a large portion of the tooth or the surrounding bone
· Insufficient space in the mouth for all the teeth
· Blockage of teeth to grow
· Baby teeth don't fall out in time for the permanent teeth to come in
· Patients getting braces or other orthodontic treatment that may need teeth extracted to create room for the teeth that will be moved into place
· For prosthetics (false teeth) purpose
· Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, often extracted either before or after they come in during the late teens or early 20s

How It Works

Tooth extraction is performed by a dentist or oral surgeon. The procedure is a relatively quick outpatient procedure with either local, general, intravenous anesthesia, or a combination, depending on the severity of the teeth condition. Usually, local anesthesia is used for the visible teeth with a simple extraction process. Teeth that are broken, below the surface, or impacted require more procedures and hence may use other types of anesthesia.

Types of Tooth Extraction

There are two types of tooth extraction procedure available, simple and surgical.

Simple - A simple tooth extraction involves the removal of teeth that are visible. The procedure is typically done for the ones that may be badly damaged or decayed as well as for the patients who plan to get braces or prosthetics such as full teeth restoration. Local anesthesia will be used for this method.

Surgical - This type of procedure is usually for removing teeth that are not visible in the mouth, maybe under the surface, or have broken off. The procedure may require general or intravenous anesthesia to perform to ease the pain.

Tooth Extraction Preparation

An X-ray will be taken prior to the tooth extraction schedule. Medications as well as vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs should be informed to the dentist. Also, it is important to inform the dentist if the patient will soon be treated for another medical condition with an intravenous drug called a bisphosphonate; the extraction process should be done before the drug treatment or it may lead to the risk of osteonecrosis (bone death) at the patient's jaw.

Moreover, do inform the dentist if patients have any of the following conditions:
· A congenital heart defect
· Diabetes
· Liver disease
· Thyroid disease
· Renal disease
· Hypertension
· An artificial joint
· Damaged heart valves
· Adrenal disease
· An impaired immune system
· A history of bacterial endocarditis

In order to ensure all conditions are stable, patients may be prescribed with antibiotics in the days prior to the procedure in the condition when the surgery is expected to be long, patients have an infection or a weakened immune system, or patients have a specific medical condition.

Tooth Extraction Precautions

· Do not smoke prior to the procedure
· Wear a short-sleeved shirt or loose-fitting clothing in the case of receiving an intravenous (IV) anesthesia for the treatment
· Fasting for at least 6 to 8 hrs is required if told by the dentist
· A reschedule may be required for patients with a cold
· Nausea or vomiting the night before extraction may need to be rescheduled or require different anesthesia
· Plan for someone to drive you home if you will be receiving general or intravenous anesthesia
