At Everything for Teeth, we realise what a daunting experience having a tooth extracted can be. Our extractions are carried out using a topical numbing cream and local anaesthesia. Nitrous oxide/happy gas is an option for more nervous patients.
A tooth may need to be extracted for the following reasons:
- the tooth has developed a large infection which cannot be resolved
- the tooth has become extremely mobile due to periodontal disease
- the tooth is too broken down or decayed to be restored adequately
- for orthodontic reasons
Wisdom teeth extractions may be performed at our dental surgery, but sometimes we may need to refer cases such as impacted teeth to an oral surgeon.
