Situations requiring tooth extraction

• In extremely inflamed teeth that cannot be treated with root canal treatment
• Failure of root canal treatment
• As gum inflammation progresses, the tooth experiences excessive bone loss.
• Making room for other teeth by performing “serial extractions” for orthodontic treatment

Gap after tooth extraction

Situations that require tooth extraction; the gap that occurs after tooth extraction; a porcelain bridge to replace it as soon as possible, implant or other prosthetics should be made. If the gap formed after tooth extraction is not filled, the teeth next to the gap and the tooth opposite the gap will shift and change places. The displacement of the teeth is both aesthetically and functionally harmful. The axes and positions of these teeth are disrupted.
Problems occur in the jaw joint due to the disruption of the closing order of the teeth. It may not be possible to make bridges or other prosthetics on teeth with disrupted axes in the future.
Therefore, in order to avoid many problems in the future, this space must be filled after tooth extraction. In general, situations that require tooth extraction consist of these.

Things to consider after tooth extraction

• • Do not rinse your mouth with water for several hours.
  • Hold the sterile gauze on the extraction site by pressing firmly for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • There may be bleeding in the form of leakage. This bleeding may continue for 6-24 hours. Do not panic, if the bleeding increases, consult your dentist.
  • You may be in pain. In this case, you can take painkillers.
  • Severe pain may occur after 48-72 hours. In this case, consult your dentist immediately.
  • Do not smoke and avoid alcoholic beverages for 24 hours.
  • Do not insert any instrument into your tongue instead of having your tooth extracted.
  • Do not eat anything after tooth extraction until the numbness wears off.
  • Do not eat or drink very hot or very hot foods.
  • Continue with normal oral care practices for 24 hours following tooth extraction.
  • If the tooth extraction was more difficult than usual, apply ice to the extraction area from the outside for 5-10 minutes every hour for 8 hours.
  • If a tooth extraction was performed through surgical intervention, swelling may occur, which is normal.
  • If stitches have been placed, they should be removed within 7-10 days. While the stitches are in your mouth, be careful not to put your tongue in that area or play with them.
