Tooth Extractions Prevent The Spread Of Tooth Decay And Infection



Tooth decay in certain cases results in infections that are difficult to treat. Sometimes it affects the teeth so badly that there is nothing left to service and the only way you can prevent further infection is by extraction of the tooth. The most commonly extracted tooth is the wisdom tooth because it never comes out completely and it always becomes painful. Ignoring extraction of a wisdom tooth would mean overcrowding of the mouth and difficulties in chewing your food. This also results in poor dental hygiene and it gets difficult to clean your mouth effectively.

Overcrowding often results in food particles getting stuck in the overcrowded area and this will result in infection and tooth decay. This decay is usually difficult to treat and extraction is highly recommended. The extraction not only helps you to have a proper number of teeth in your mouth, there is no overcrowding. Impacted Wisdom Teeth also causes gum diseases which are difficult to treat and extraction may help prevent this situation from occurring.

Although wisdom tooth extraction is a common extraction, in certain situations, even your molars and other teeth could be severely infected and may require extraction. In these situations, one can always place a crown or a cap over the extracted tooth so that you can use the tooth to chew food. It also helps to restore the aesthetic appearance of the tooth and if you feel that with extraction you will not be able to smile confidently, then this is something you shouldn't worry about because these days you can now get natural-looking veneers fitted.



One Day Procedure



Tooth extraction is a one-day procedure and you don't really have to worry about maintaining the wound for a long time. Medications are typically given to you and help you get treated within 3 to 4 days. Placing a cap or a bridge over the extracted area may require some more time. You should ideally give the area at least a month to heal properly so that the gum is in the right shape and there is no inflammation whatsoever.
