Tooth Extractions and Oral Surgery

Overview

Tooth extraction at Campos Dental in Edgware is sometimes necessary for severely decayed or damaged teeth. Our experienced team ensures a calm, comfortable environment while safely removing the tooth to prevent infection and promote oral health.

Why Tooth Extraction May Be Necessary

Tooth extraction is sometimes required when a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair. Common reasons for extraction include:

  • Severe Tooth Decay: When decay has penetrated deep into the tooth, reaching the pulp, extraction may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection.

  • Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can cause teeth to loosen, necessitating removal.

  • Tooth Trauma: A damaged tooth due to injury may need to be extracted if it cannot be saved through other treatments.

  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When wisdom teeth fail to emerge properly and become impacted, they can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Orthodontic Reasons: Sometimes, teeth need to be removed to create space for orthodontic treatment and ensure proper alignment.

The Tooth Extraction Procedure

At Campos dental, we prioritise your comfort and safety during the extraction process. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Anaesthesia: We use local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring a painless procedure. For anxious patients, we offer sedation options to help you relax.

  2. Extraction: Using specialised instruments, our dentist will carefully loosen and remove the tooth. If necessary, a small incision may be made in the gum to access the tooth.

Aftercare: Following the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. We may place a dressing pack in the extraction site to control bleeding and encourage clot formation.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, the last set of molars to emerge, often cause problems due to lack of space in the mouth. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, and infection. At Campos dental, we specialise in the surgical removal of wisdom teeth, providing relief from these issues and preventing future complications.
