With the\nmany variables that contribute to an emergency, there are a wide range of\ntreatment options that your dentist may use. In certain cases, tooth extraction\nis the only option your dentist has to get you out of pain and prevent further\nproblems. Additionally, some extractions can be more complicated than others.\nKeep reading to learn more about tooth extractions and their process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You May Need an Extraction for an Emergency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, if your tooth becomes too damaged, broken, or\ninfected, your dentist\u2019s only option is to extract your tooth. While this\nsounds painful, an extraction will typically relieve you of more discomfort\nthan it will put you in. Tooth extraction is important because it can prevent\ninfection from spreading into your bloodstream and bone, but it can also get\nyou out of serious discomfort when you have a broken tooth. Fractured teeth can\nbecome damaged enough where they cannot be saved, which makes extraction the\nonly solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extraction Process <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will take emergency X-Rays of the affected\ntooth to get a more in-depth look at the problem. X-Rays can detect issues that\nthe naked eye simply can\u2019t, which will allow your dentist to provide a more\neffective treatment. These X-Rays will tell your dentist whether your\nextraction is simple or complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.generationsdental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency\ndentist<\/a> will make sure that you\u2019re numb and comfortable before beginning to\nextract your tooth. For simple extractions, they will seamlessly pull your\ntooth out with special dental tools, a process that will be done before you\nknow it. However, some extractions can be more complex, which may require a few\nextra steps and even surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are Some Extractions More Complicated Than Others?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common type of complex extraction is for an\nimpacted tooth. This is for a tooth that hasn\u2019t fully emerged from the gumline\nyet and is impacted inside of the jaw. This type of extraction will require surgery,\nwhich typically involves small incisions in your gums to access the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another complication is if part of the tooth breaks during\nextraction. In this instance, your dentist will have to remove your tooth piece\nby piece. While this may sound painful, they will keep you numb and offer\nsedation options for a greater sense of relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know more about extractions, don\u2019t worry if\nyour dentist says that you may have to receive one. This necessary treatment\nprevents more serious issues from occurring in the future while getting you out\nof pain immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Generations Dental Care, we have a team of dedicated and\nexperienced dentists who are highly trained in various extraction techniques.
