• Dental extractions, meaning simply, removal of
  one or more teeth from the mouth are not uncommon
  procedures. Despite public education of
  preventative dental care, tooth decay and abscess
  are the most frequent reasons for the procedure.
  
• However, another common need especially in young
  patients is failure of a tooth to fully erupt
  from within the gums resulting in impaction.
  Typically, impacted teeth are the molars and can
  affect one or both sides of the mouth.
  Regardless of the reason for a dental extraction,
  the procedure can seem daunting. Here are some
  guidelines on what to expect.

• Dental caries or tooth decay is the most common
  reason. Some studies have shown dental caries
  account for up to 65 of all tooth removals.
• Extra teeth may block or prevent other teeth from
  erupting therefore, removal of the extra teeth
  may be necessary for overall dental health, i.e.
  impacted wisdom teeth.
• Tooth extraction may be necessary to prep the
  teeth for orthodontic work
• Trauma or other causes of fractured teeth that
  are not reparable
• Malformed teeth, either congenital or due to
  other causes
• Too little space or room for the wisdom teeth
• Cosmetic reasons to improve confidence

• There are essentially two types of dental
  extraction procedures. Simple dental extractions
  are appropriate when the tooth to be removed is
  visible and relatively easy to extract with
  simple tools. A local anesthetic can be used to
  numb the gums and prevent pain or discomfort.
• A surgical dental extraction, as the name implies
  is more complicated, requires an incision into
  the gum line and a general anesthetic for the
  procedure. Special tools or drills are used.

• Dental extractions, when performed by experience
  dentists or oral surgeons, are safe and have few
  complications. If problems do arise, these may
  include infection at the incision site or
  excessive bleeding. The dentist can stop any
  excess bleeding and may prescribe antibiotic
  therapy to treat or prevent wound infection.
• Whether a tooth extraction is an elective or
  urgent procedure, Dr. Kezian, a renowned
  emergency dentist Los Angeles, is available for a
  consultation today.
