Dental Extraction

The dentist examines the affected tooth and surrounding gums.

X-rays may be taken to assess the tooth's position, root structure, and bone condition.

Medical history is reviewed to check for conditions like diabetes, bleeding disorders, or medications (e.g., blood thinners).

Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area.

Hand-held instruments are used for precision cleaning in areas ultrasonic tools can’t reach, especially between teeth and under the gum line.

A dental tool called an elevator is used to loosen the tooth gently from its socket.

The goal is to detach the ligaments holding the tooth in place.

The socket is cleaned to remove any debris or infection.

Sometimes, stitches (sutures) are placed if incisions were made.

Placing a piece of sterile gauze over the extraction site helps absorb blood and apply gentle pressure, which aids in stopping active bleeding.

A blood clot naturally forms at the extraction site to protect the bone and nerves underneath. This clot is crucial for healing gauze helps support its formation.
