✅ Types of Tooth Extractions
-
Simple Extractions: These are typically performed on teeth that are visible, loose, and easy to access. The tooth is removed using dental forceps after being gently rocked back and forth.
-
Surgical Extractions: This involves more complex cases, such as teeth that haven’t fully erupted or broken below the gum line. The process requires making an incision, and sometimes the tooth is split into pieces for easier removal.
🦷 Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, often causing complications. When wisdom teeth are impacted (not fully erupted), they can cause pain, misalignment, or lead to infections. Early extraction can prevent issues like gum disease, swelling, and discomfort.
