Drawing on experience from Tooth Extraction Primer

Besides routine dental hygiene care and thorough oral checkups, one of the most frequently performed procedures at our clinic is a tooth extraction primer. But we’ll always do our utmost to save your tooth, so why would they have to pull teeth? The main reasons are discussed below.

So why do we pull out teeth rather than save them?

The tooth extraction primer operation most commonly performed on children and young adults is usually to make space between teeth for adult ones, prior to orthodontics treatment or in order to prevent crowding of the existing tooth position, damage from wear-and-tear, or problems with structure. Everyone is an individual, and we all have different dental requirements. Now we’ll cover some of the rationale behind why it may be your best option, providing a topic list for this tooth extraction primer. But of course, this is just a rough guide. If you worry this is the case and that one of your teeth has to be taken out, don’t hesitate in calling us for a personal consultation.

Early Orthodontics

If there isn’t enough space in your child’s jaw to fit all of the teeth, we often suggest removing a tooth or two and use orthodontics afterwards for treatment. What you get is a symmetrical, natural-looking smile that might not be achievable for someone who retains all of their teeth-one which comfortably lets your child open his or her mouth and talk with ease. After orthodontics treatment, this missing tooth or teeth cannot be seen.

Wisdom Teeth

It also promotes dental health. If they haven’t already been pulled for early orthodontics, most people have their wisdom teeth removed to prevent problems later on. These are teeth that grow in young adulthood, but often our jaws can’t even manage them. Should they be affected (stuck below the gumline), come in on their side or some other odd angle, endanger your child’s oral health for any reason-we will then urge parents to extract these molars. What’s even more perplexing still is that not everyone has four wisdom teeth (one in the back of each quadrant) –some have none, some one or two.

Dental Trauma

A tooth can be smashed beyond repair as the result of rough play, sports or accidents. We will always do whatever is possible to prevent this kind of tooth loss-like custom-made mouthguards, for instance. In addition to preventive procedures, there is root canal treatment and a crown which are the best methods of repair. Yet sometimes after dental injury occurs it becomes necessary to extract the tooth completely from its roots.

Extensive Decay

Prevention, prevention We are very aware of the need for early detection and prompt treatment at the Keswick Dental Centre. However, sometimes decay is so bad that it makes a direct passage all the way through your tooth to infectingly sensitive root. Tooth extraction primer If the infection cannot be cleared with root canal therapy, or if it is too severe to begin with, there really is nothing for it but pulling them out.

Damaged Restorations

Also, if your bite is off or you clench and grind away at them the teeth can even crack. If your bite is strong enough–and it usually is — then old restorations might come loose, only to harm the tooth so badly that you couldn’t attach a new restoration at all.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease

Ligaments and bones hold your teeth in place, but it’s up to your gums to protect them. If gum disease worsens, you lose your teeth. Your bones and ligaments have lost the ability to hold them in place. When gum disease is too advanced, a tooth may have to be removed.

Tooth Extraction Primer Aftercare

When your file is complete, we’ll provide you with post-tooth extraction primer instructions to take home. It is predicted that you will need a few days to recuperate after having your tooth pulled. So for the first 24 hours you can only relax safe and easy in your dining room. No drinking through a straw, or rinsing forcefully with water; no smoking either.

Take your painkillers as directed to prevent the occurrence of pain, and make sure you follow all our aftercare instructions. Munch away on soft foods like soup, pudding, yogurt and applesauce the day of your extraction and into the next. Besides extraction, you should continue to carry out home oral care of brushing and flossing–but try not to touch the area where the tooth was pulled.

Even better, the Keswick Dental Centre offers countless ways that you can try to prevent dental problems in LK—and what we’ll do if they develop. Our caring and friendly staff also works hard to make what’s in your hands the choice of how you care for yourself after a tooth extraction primer.
