There are two types of extraction procedures:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Simple extraction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This is the most common tooth removal procedure. Simple extractions are usually performed on teeth visible in the mouth and are typically done under local anesthesia.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Surgical extraction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Surgical procedures are performed when the tooth cannot be accessed easily. This happens when the tooth has not fully erupted or when the tooth has been broken off under the gumline. During a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surgical tooth extraction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we will make a small incision into your gum and remove the underlying tooth, usually under general anesthesia.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">Why Would You Need to Get a Tooth Pulled?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Decay or Infection<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If a tooth becomes irreparably damaged due to severe decay, the tooth may need to be removed. If the decay reaches the pulp or center of the tooth, bacteria can invade the tooth and cause an infection, and, in this case, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/pulling-a-tooth-tooth-extraction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tooth extraction<\/a> may be the best course of action.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trauma or Injury<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Trauma or injury to the mouth might damage teeth, or associated ligaments, bone, and tissue, and tooth extraction may be the only option to prevent further damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Orthodontic Treatment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A crooked smile or a bad bite can develop if there isn&#8217;t enough room in the mouth for all the adult teeth. In some cases, extracting one or more teeth can help free up space that allows the remaining teeth and jaws to be correctly aligned through orthodontic treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wisdom Teeth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Removing wisdom teeth <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is usually recommended to reduce the risk of overcrowding and infection and prevent the development of other dental problems later.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">What Happens if You Don\u2019t Get Your Dead Tooth Pulled?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s essential to treat a dying or dead tooth as soon as possible because, left untreated, the bacteria from the dead tooth can spread and lead to the loss of additional teeth. It could also affect your jawbone and gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">Ways to Replace Teeth<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tooth extraction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there are several ways to replace your missing teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Implants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Dental implants provide a permanent solution if you need to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. A dental implant utilizes a crown and an artificial root to create a natural-looking tooth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bridges<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This restoration fills the space where one or more teeth were removed. The two teeth closest to the gap on both sides are often used as anchors for the bridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dentures: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are the most economical option for those who have lost most of their real teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">Is Tooth Removal Painful?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/327170\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tooth removal<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is done under anesthesia, so you won&#8217;t experience any pain during the procedure. However, you can expect a certain amount of pain, discomfort, and swelling following an extraction. We may prescribe or recommend a painkiller, and applying an ice pack to your cheek can help reduce swelling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">Tooth Extraction Recovery<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovery after tooth extraction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> usually takes a few days. Follow these steps to ensure your recovery goes smoothly:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For 24 hours following your extraction, you shouldn&#8217;t rinse your mouth vigorously, drink from a straw, or clean the teeth next to the extraction site to avoid dislodging the clot in the socket.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relax for at least 24 hours after the extraction and limit activity for the next day or two.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t smoke, as this can inhibit healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat soft foods, such as pudding, soup, and yogurt, with a spoon after the extraction. Gradually add solid foods to your diet as the extraction site heals.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush and floss your teeth but avoid the extraction site to help prevent infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">Tooth Removal Cost<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tooth removal cost<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> varies depending on several factors, such as how complicated the procedure is. A simple extraction usually costs between $75 and $200 per tooth, but the cost to remove impacted teeth is significantly higher and can land anywhere between $800 and $4,000. However, dental insurance typically covers this cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-weight: 400;\">Tooth Removal in Washington Court House, OH<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <a href=\"\/\">Washington Court House Dental<\/a>, our goal is always to preserve your existing teeth as long as possible, and we will consider all options to achieve a healthy smile before recommending an extraction.
