Some people fear tooth extractions because they don’t know what to expect. Often, there are misconceptions about what’s involved in this procedure.
Tooth extraction is not the first choice for any dentist. This approach is chosen because all other options have been exhausted, and it is the only way to avoid serious problems and improve oral health. Our dentists use local anaesthesia to prevent pain during tooth extractions.
Common reasons for tooth extractions include:
- Periodontal disease
- Tooth decay
- Injury and trauma
- Impaction – this happens when wisdom teeth grow into your jaw, and there is not enough room for it.
- Overcrowding – when the teeth grow unevenly and are overcrowded in the mouth.
Our dentists have vast experience in providing these treatments. From diagnosis to extraction, they strive to make the process as painless and comfortable as possible.
