How is the removal of teeth?

@ Removal of teeth using conventional techniques.
Applied to teeth visible to the eye; Teeth have grown and are clearly visible in the mouth.
The technique of extracting these teeth is usually not too difficult; Any dentist can do it.
Specialized tools are usually dental elevator or tooth extraction pliers.
@ Removal of teeth with minor surgery (dental removal surgery)
This is a more complicated procedure than conventional tooth extraction. Often applied to remove the ingrown teeth inside the jawbone.
The performer is usually a doctor capable of surgery.
The implementation process will include the following steps:
- Slit the gums to reveal jaw bone or reveal teeth.
- Sometimes it is necessary to sharpen part of the bone that surrounds the teeth.

Is tooth extraction hurt?
With regular extractions, your dentist will give you an anesthetic. And sometimes tooth extraction just needs to be numbed on the outside (baby teeth wobble a lot)
In dental surgery, the requirements are stricter. The patient needs regional anesthesia, or in cases with special factors, the patient is under general anesthesia.
That way, during the extraction process, you won’t feel any pain even though you still know the impact of the doctor on your teeth at times.
In addition, patients are always instructed to signal by raising their hands when they feel pain during the procedure. This will help the doctor adjust the actions more appropriately.
After removal of teeth, serious instructions should be taken.
Certainly, after completing removal of teeth process, the doctor will guide you on what to do and should not to do. And if you still have any questions, the consultation should be completed before leaving.
Extraction is the removal of a part of the body so you won’t be as comfortable as it is nothing. However, these unpleasant sensations are only mild; And when you follow your doctor’s instructions, that feeling will soon go away.
Usually, your doctor will prescribe pain relievers to make your post-surgery days more comfortable. Remember to take the medicine according to the instructions.
