TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

Tooth extractions are often the last resort, however, they are often necessary. With our leading team of dentists, your tooth extraction should be painless and quick.

There are various scenarios where you may need a tooth extraction. For example, if a tooth is too damaged from decay to be repaired with a filling or crown, an extraction may be necessary. In other cases, wisdom teeth that are impacted or crowded can cause pain and damage to other teeth, so they may need to be removed. The team at ICO Dental will always do everything we can to retain your natural teeth. However, in some cases, tooth extraction is the best solution for restoring your oral health.

WHEN IS A TOOTH EXTRACTION NECESSARY?

A tooth extraction is recommended for various reasons. Most of them in emergency situations. Here are a couple of reasons why you may need a tooth extraction.

Extractions are often required to deal with serious issues. For example, tooth decay and tooth infections can progress so far that extraction is the only option. Crowding can also require tooth extraction, and tooth extractions are sometimes needed to prepare for realignment of the remaining teeth using dental braces. Wisdom teeth are among the most common tooth extractions required today. These third molars at the back of the mouth emerge in early adulthood, often causing issues. While some people lose certain teeth by 17 years old (when the wisdom teeth usually come in) or have plenty of space in their mouths, others have nowhere for the emerging teeth to go.

EMERGENCY TOOTH EXTRACTION PROCEDURE

Tooth extractions should be quick when done by professionals. That being said, not many people understand what happens during a tooth extraction. Here's a short overview.

We offer various extraction procedures and techniques at our dental practice in Chicago. For example, we use different types of anesthesia depending on the nature and length of your extraction procedure. Typically, we perform simple extractions with local anesthesia, but more complicated surgical extractions often require intravenous anesthesia, as well. With emergency tooth extraction, there are a few things you should know. First, the procedure will be performed by a qualified dentist or oral surgeon. Second, you will likely be given a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. Third, the tooth will be removed using specialized dental tools. Fourth, you will be given aftercare instructions to help you recover from the procedure. Emergency tooth extractions can be uncomfortable, but they are typically minor procedures with minimal complications. With proper aftercare, you should heal quickly and without any problems.
