The enamel on the top surface of your tooth is the hardest part of your entire body.
Once the examination is complete and it's determined that extraction is the best course of action, the next step is to numb the area with local anesthesia. This ensures that the patient feels no pain during the procedure. The anesthesia is usually administered via a quick injection to the gum tissue surrounding the tooth.
After the area is numb, the extraction process begins. A dental elevator is used to lift the tooth, and dental forceps are used to remove it. If the tooth is impacted or difficult to remove, it may need to be taken out in pieces. Throughout this process, Dr. Sasco and her team ensure the patient's comfort and safety.
One of the most immediate benefits of tooth extraction is pain relief. If a tooth is severely decayed or damaged, it can cause significant discomfort. Removing the tooth alleviates this pain and improves overall oral health.
Tooth extraction can prevent further damage to your mouth. A damaged or decayed tooth can lead to more serious issues if left untreated, such as the spread of infection or damage to neighboring teeth. Extraction removes these risks.
Another advantage of dental bonding is that it requires minimal tooth enamel removal compared to veneers and crowns. This makes it a more conservative treatment that preserves more of your child's natural tooth structure.
Tooth enamel is so strong it can withstand bite pressures of up to 1,000 pounds per square inch!
