Whether it's an emergency tooth extraction, wisdom tooth extraction or simple routine extraction.

 

Despite all the efforts of dentists to save the tooth. Tooth extraction is often required when a tooth is in such bad condition, not repairable, and causes tooth ache, pain, and possibly an infection. Pulling out teeth is the most common minor oral surgery procedure, at our Manurewa dental clinic we work hard to ensure your tooth extraction is done efficiently and with minimum discomfort using the most modern-day local anesthetics (numbing) and techniques.

 

What to Expect During Treatment

The dentist will take an X-Ray at your consultation to assess the condition of the tooth and also the difficulty in removal.  The dentist will numb, or anesthetize, the tooth to be extracted or pulled out, as well as the jawbone and gums surrounding it.

 

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth removal is one of the more common categories of tooth extraction. Many dental professionals will recommend removing wisdom teeth (third molars) before they are fully developed — usually in the adolescent years — to help eliminate potential problems. One problem that could occur is development of an impacted tooth that has surfaced and has no room in the mouth to grow. Other problems associated with impacted teeth include infection, decay of adjacent teeth, bite interference and gum disease.
