Surgical tooth extraction is a procedure performed by an oral surgeon or dentist to remove a tooth that cannot be easily extracted using traditional methods. This type of extraction is typically done for teeth that are impacted (such as wisdom teeth), or for teeth that have broken at or below the gumline.
The procedure typically begins with the administration of local anesthesia or IV sedation to numb the area and make the patient comfortable. The surgeon will then make an incision in the gums, and remove any bone blocking the tooth before carefully extracting it. In some cases, the tooth may be removed in pieces. After the tooth is removed, the surgeon will clean the socket and may place stitches to close the incision.
Recovery after surgical tooth extraction can take several days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Pain and swelling can be managed with over the counter medication and the surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for the extraction site and promote healing.
