Surgical & Simple Tooth Extractions

  • Tooth Extraction Types:
    • Surgical Extraction: Used for teeth that cannot be easily removed with forceps, such as those that are:
      • Impacted: Not fully erupted from the gums.
      • Ankylosed: Fused to the bone.
      • Severely Decayed or Fractured: Beyond restoration.
    • Simple Extraction: Performed when a tooth can be easily accessed and removed with forceps, typically for:
      • Loose Teeth: Due to periodontal disease or trauma.
  • Purpose: Both types of extractions are done to:
    • Remove infected teeth with a poor prognosis.
    • Ensure continued oral health and hygiene.
