Tooth extraction is the process of removing the entire tooth from the mouth, which can become unavoidable for various reasons in oral and dental health. As Dehadent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we offer our patients the most comfortable tooth extraction process and prioritize maintaining a healthy oral structure. So, why is a tooth extracted? How does the process work, and what should be considered during the healing process? Here are all the details from Dehadent experts…

What are the Reasons for Tooth Extraction?

A tooth extraction is generally necessary in the following cases:

• Extensive decay and the inability to save the tooth
• Inability to repair broken or cracked teeth
• Loose teeth due to advanced gum disease
• Dental infections and abscess formation
• Making space for teeth before orthodontic treatment
• Removal of impacted or partially impacted wisdom teeth, especially wisdom teeth

At Dehadent, the most appropriate treatment plan is created for each patient based on a detailed examination and radiological evaluation.

How Does a Tooth Extraction Process Work?

Before tooth extraction, our Dehadent specialists evaluate your oral health and perform any necessary imaging procedures. The extraction site is completely numbed with local anesthesia, and the tooth is carefully removed by our expert team. The procedure is generally painless and completed quickly.

Post-Extraction Recovery and Important Notes

Bleeding after tooth extraction is normal; the application of sterile gauze is recommended until the bleeding stops. Hot foods and beverages, smoking, and alcohol should be avoided for the first 24 hours. In case of pain and swelling, painkillers prescribed by your doctor can be used. Maintaining good oral hygiene reduces the risk of infection and accelerates the healing process.

Return to Daily Life After Tooth Extraction

Most patients can easily return to their daily lives within a few days. However, it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity until the extraction site is completely healed. The recovery period varies depending on the individual situation, but generally takes 1-2 weeks.
