Willing to get a Tooth Extracted in Ghatkopar East, Mumbai?

The tooth extraction procedure is mostly done as a last resort. The benefits of the procedure are as follows:

1. Eliminates infection festering inside a decayed tooth and prevents it from reaching the bone.
2. Tooth removal of heavily decayed teeth and root pieces is advised to patients who are going to undergo heart surgery to prevent cardiac bacterial endocarditis.
3. Tooth removal is done for braces treatment if the crowding of the teeth is extreme. The premolars need to be extracted in such cases to make space for orthodontic correction.
4. Tooth extraction is done in kids when their milk teeth are blocking the way for the permanent tooth under it. It is usually done with the application of anaesthetic gel since the milk tooth is completely resorbed and the child is comfortable during its removal.
5. Teeth fractured due to high-velocity impact like in a traffic accident, these teeth need to be removed to ensure the patient does not aspirate them during emergency surgery.
6. Wisdom tooth extraction is needed when the tooth is decayed and heavily infected and associated with painful swelling.

Wisdom tooth removal is suggested when the teeth are stuck under the gums causing gum swelling and pain. If the tooth is halfway stuck in the bone, a minor surgical procedure is done to rescue it from the jawbone and remove it safely.

The primary step taken for tooth extraction is a complete medical history evaluation along with the list of medications. Consent from the treating physician is taken before proceeding with tooth removal. Digital x-rays are taken to study the number of roots and the root angel in order to judge the difficulty level of the extraction.

On the appointment day, the patient is asked to dress comfortably and bring a friend or a family member for support in case of high anxiety regarding the procedure.

A potent local anesthetic is injected at the extraction site and the patient is checked for pain response before beginning the extraction.

When the comfort of the patient is ensured, sharp tools are used to loosen the teeth from the socket and forceps is used to remove the loosened tooth. The wound is then packed with gel foam to hasten clot formation along with a cotton ball which marks the end of the procedure. 

Normal wisdom tooth extraction is done as described above. However, wisdom teeth stuck at weird angles are difficult to extract normally. A minor surgical procedure is done for wisdom tooth removal stuck halfway in the bone.

In this procedure, after the local anaesthesia has acted, a little notch is made in the jaw bone to expose the root so that it can be removed safely and completely. Then the extraction proceeds as described above.

Post-operative instructions are explained to the patient and antibiotics and analgesics are prescribed to manage the discomfort. A follow-up appointment is done to ensure proper healing of the extraction socket.

In case of anxiety, talk to the dentist and get all your queries answered and all issues put to rest before the procedure. A good dentist will answer all your questions patiently and do the procedure while ensuring the comfort of the patient at all times. 

Tooth extraction cost varies based on the location of the clinic and the type of extraction - simple or surgical, depending on the difficulty level of the procedure. 

While simple extractions are not costly, surgical extractions can be a little expensive.

Simple tooth removal cost is not that much when the tooth is visible in the mouth and the roots are straight as visible in digital x-rays. 

Surgical tooth removal is done when the teeth are heavily decayed and have fractured below the gum line and are at the bone level. A little bone is removed surgically till the remaining tooth is exposed enough to be extracted with levers and forceps.

Wisdom tooth extraction cost can vary depending on the difficulty level of the extractions. Wisdom teeth are most commonly present at weird angles with the crown pushing on the tooth before it, trying to come out,  while the roots are stuck in the bone. Bone removal is done enough to uncover the roots and the tooth is sectioned to make it easier to extract. A few stitches are necessary in such cases and the healing process is longer.
