Everyone wants to enjoy healthy and aesthetically-looking teeth for as long as possible. For this reason, removal of the teeth may seem like a procedure that should be avoided at any cost. However, it is important to realize that irreparably damaged teeth pose a risk to the entire oral cavity. So, trying to keep one tooth at any cost, you risk losing even a few healthy ones.
Why it is necessary to remove the teeth sometimes?
In order to avoid serious problems and the risk of loss of teeth, primarily, proper care is needed – to brush them in the morning and evening with high-quality oral hygiene cleansers, visit a dentist and oral hygienist for preventive testing. However, loss of teeth is by no means just a consequence of inappropriate oral hygiene. There may be more causes of tooth removal: trauma, periodontal disease, abscess, tooth development disorder, orthodontic treatment, etc.
Dental Removal Procedure
Tooth removal is not the most pleasant procedure, but you can be assured that it is probably the shortest procedure – in an easy case, an experienced specialist can remove a tooth in just a few minutes. In addition, the tooth removal procedure is painless because a local anesthesia is used. The smooth and painless procedure is ensured by modern technology and the use of safe surgical tools.
After tooth removal
Pain or swelling may occur for 1-2 days after surgery. In this case, you should take pain medication and put a cold compress on the swollen area. In addition, hot food should be avoided the first day after the procedure. The doctor who performed the surgery will inform you more about the required regime.
It is important to note that removing a tooth does not mean you have to say “goodbye” to your smile. After the tooth removal, a dental implant procedure can be planned as needed to help recover the tooth and restore the smile and self-confidence.
