Exodontia (Dental Extraction)

Surgical dental removal procedure performed when preservation is not possible or when there's orthodontic or developmental indication.

Who is it for

Recommended for children who have:

• Tooth with extensive cavity beyond restoration possibility
• Tooth with severe infection resistant to treatment
• Primary tooth retained beyond normal time
• Orthodontic indication (premolar or supernumerary extraction)
• Tooth with irreparable trauma
• Tooth causing recurrent infection

How it works

The extraction procedure follows these steps:

1. Radiographic evaluation: Root anatomy analysis
2. Local anesthesia: Adequate application for painless procedure
3. Syndesmotomy: Tooth detachment from neighboring structures
4. Luxation: Careful tooth mobilization
5. Extraction: Complete tooth removal
6. Hemostasis: Bleeding control
7. Guidance: Detailed post-operative care

Outpatient procedure with fast recovery.

Frequently asked questions

Does extraction hurt?

During procedure there's no pain due to local anesthesia. After it wears off, there may be mild discomfort controlled with prescribed analgesics.

How long does healing take?

Initial socket healing occurs in 7-10 days. Complete bone regeneration takes 2-3 months. During initial recovery, following care is essential.

What to do if it bleeds afterwards?

Slight bleeding in first hours is normal. If it persists, bite clean gauze for 20-30 minutes. If intense bleeding continues, contact dentist.

Does a baby tooth that's already loose need extraction?

If tooth is very loose and close to falling naturally, extraction may not be necessary. If it's causing discomfort or permanent tooth is already erupting, it may be indicated.
