Tooth Removal at Mansfield Oral Surgery
Tooth removal, also known as tooth extraction or pulling a tooth, is a common dental procedure that is often performed when a tooth has become severely damaged, infected, or is impacted. At Mansfield Oral Surgery, we offer tooth removal for any patient in need of a skilled and experienced dentist who can provide them with the dental care they need.
When Is a Tooth Removal Needed?
A tooth extraction may be required for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common reasons include:
- The tooth has been injured or broken.
- The tooth has extensive decay and cannot be restored.
- A deep infection has occurred within the tooth root (abscess).
- The teeth are poorly positioned or overcrowded.
- The tooth has become impacted (common with wisdom teeth).
- Gum disease has caused damage to the tooth’s supporting structures.
- Teeth are loose due to bone loss.
How Is a Tooth Removal Performed? Does a Tooth Extraction Hurt?
At Mansfield Oral Surgery, we make the tooth removal process as comfortable as possible. Prior to a tooth removal procedure, the area is numbed for your comfort. The procedure may be done under dental sedation. We have often heard patients voice their pleasant surprise at the ease of the process.
