All you need to know about tooth extractions.

 

Extraction 

Although permanent teeth were meant to last a lifetime, there are a number of reasons why tooth extraction may be needed. A very common reason involves a tooth that is too badly damaged, from trauma or decay to be repaired.

Other reasons for tooth extraction may include;

·        Crowded mouth

·        Infection

·        Risk of Infection

 Before pulling the tooth, your dentist will give you an injection of a local anaesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. This will help reduce the level of pain.

If the tooth is impacted, the dentist will cut away gum and bone tissue that cover the tooth and then, using forceps, grasp the tooth and gently rock it back and forth to loosen it from the jaw bone and ligaments that hold it in place. Sometimes a hard-to-pull tooth must be removed in pieces.

Benefits of tooth Extraction

·      Protecting Surrounding teeth. If you’re dealing with a tooth infection, your entire smile is at risk. For instance, if you ignore an infection, it will only continue to progress and worsen over time, which may lead to the spread of that infection throughout your mouth. You can easily protect surrounding healthy tissues by choosing a tooth extraction.

·    Protecting your comfort. Are you dealing with severe discomfort as a result of an infected tooth? With a tooth extraction, the source of your discomfort is removed and you can enjoy your life daily.

    Hello there, I want to know if there is a flexible payment arrangement for tooth extraction? I have a bad damaged wisdom tooth for about 3-4 years now. Due to ignorance, I have neglected this predicament but lately its been eating me up really bad. I can hardly sleep the tooth is almost decayed and in a very bad condition. I am really broke and I earn less than 550 a month. Kindly notify if there is any help..
    Thanks

   Crossbites   There are three types of crossbites: 1.      Posterior crossbite, occurring on the back teeth with the upper teeth sitting inside the lower teeth.   2.      Anterior crossbite: This occurs on the front teeth. Here the top front teeth sit behind the lower teeth. Anterior crossbites can either occur with a single tooth or multiple teeth. This situation can also be termed as an underbite.   3.      Buccal crossbite: Here the top teeth sit outside the lower arch of the lower teeth. This happens very close to the cheek. A buccal crossbite is also known as scissors bite.     Crossbites don’t look good and cause people with this condition to lose confidence. In teenagers, there is a considerable loss of self esteem which can negatively affect the individual’s social growth.     Crossbites can cause teeth to chip away and cause dramatic jaw growth.
