Dental Care: Tooth Extraction as a Necessity
The phrase "tooth extraction" makes many people feel uncomfortable. However, tooth extraction, as well as the now-popular procedure of dental implantation in modern Moscow clinics, has long become a humane and painless operation that causes no suffering to the patient.
Modern dentistry recommends tooth extraction only in rare cases, always trying to preserve natural teeth for as long as possible. However, there are situations when extraction is the only remaining option. In such cases, tooth extraction is simply necessary.
Dental clinics in Moscow offer high-quality services and perform tooth extraction and implantation only when the tooth cannot be saved by any other means and its presence could lead to complications.
In Moscow dentistry, tooth extraction is recommended when:
o A tooth causes the formation and growth of a cyst in the jaw bone;
o A tooth is the focus of chronic periodontitis and does not respond to treatment;
o A tooth is the cause of odontogenic osteomyelitis;
o Extraction is rarely performed to prepare for dental prosthetics;
o Teeth severely damaged by periodontitis or decay are extracted;
o Teeth destroyed by trauma or growing incorrectly in the dental arch and cannot be restored are removed;
o In some cases, teeth are extracted to correct bite alignment.
Modern Moscow dentistry offers completely painless tooth extraction and implantation, taking into account all contraindications.
The procedure of tooth extraction itself has not changed much technically. However, the level of pain management during this once-dreaded surgical procedure has significantly improved.
Before the procedure, the surgical area is disinfected and local anesthesia is applied. In rare cases, and only after thorough examination and absence of contraindications, general anesthesia may be used.
Tooth extraction is just one stage in the overall dental treatment process. Dentists always emphasize that any extracted tooth should be replaced. Even a single missing tooth can cause chewing difficulties, complications, and negatively affect the health of neighboring teeth. That is why dental professionals recommend replacing the missing tooth. If the neighboring teeth are healthy, dental implantation is considered a less traumatic option compared to traditional prosthetics.
