There are several reasons why you might need a tooth extraction. If a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, extraction can prevent the spread of infection and alleviate pain. In some cases, removing a tooth can help in preparing the mouth for orthodontic treatment. For instance, teeth might be extracted to create room for better teeth alignment. Moreover, if a tooth is impacted (usually a wisdom tooth), which means it's trapped in your jawbone or gums, removing it can help prevent future dental complications. Your Wellington dentist carefully evaluates each case to ensure that tooth extraction is the best course of action.

A tooth that's severely infected poses a risk to the rest of your mouth and potentially your overall health. Tooth extraction can halt the spread of infection, protecting your other teeth and gums from damage.
In some cases, teeth may need to be removed to make room for proper alignment, especially in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Tooth extraction can help create the necessary space for other teeth to align correctly, improving your smile and bite.
Before the extraction, Dr. Krauss will perform a thorough examination of your mouth and take X-rays. This step helps to identify the exact state of the tooth and plan the best approach for its removal. It also allows Dr. Krauss to detect any potential issues that could affect the extraction process.
To ensure your comfort during the procedure, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area around the tooth. This makes the extraction process virtually painless. Dr. Krauss will also monitor your reaction to the anesthesia to ensure you're completely comfortable before proceeding.
Once the area is numb, Dr. Krauss will carefully extract the tooth. The procedure's duration can vary depending on the tooth's condition and location. After the extraction, Dr. Krauss will provide post-operative care instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. You may need to bite down on a piece of gauze for a short period to control bleeding and help form a blood clot. Dr. Krauss will also discuss pain management options and schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your recovery.
