Tooth Extraction in Dubai
While common in teens and some adults, tooth extraction becomes necessary in adulthood due to various reasons, including excessive decay, infection, or crowding, often requiring space for braces or maintaining oral health during medical treatments like chemotherapy. The procedure, performed under local, general, or intravenous anaesthesia, involves simple extractions for visible teeth and more complex procedures for broken, impacted, or below-surface teeth.
Treatment with precision and no discomfort
At Arabica Medical Center, we offer comprehensive care for tooth extraction, guiding patients through initial consultations, procedures, and follow-up care. Wisdom tooth extraction, often needed due to impaction or lack of space, typically occurs at a younger age when these molars emerge, potentially causing issues if not correctly positioned or fully developed.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
How do you know that your wisdom teeth are growing?
Besides noticing the emergence of your new molars at the back of your mouth, symptoms such as gum pain and tenderness may suggest the growth of your wisdom teeth. Potential issues with wisdom teeth include bleeding, redness, or swelling of gums, jaw pain or swelling, bad breath, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, and challenges in mouth opening. If problems persist, consulting a tooth removal dentist in Dubai for procedures like wisdom tooth extraction may be necessary to address concerns like tooth removal pain & aftercare, tooth removal recovery, and tooth removal cost.
Why teeth may need to be extracted?
At Arabica Medical Center, our approach highlights preserving your natural tooth whenever possible through conservative methods. These may include fillings, root canal therapy, or gum disease treatments to restore the health of a diseased or fractured tooth.
However, there are instances where extraction becomes necessary due to severe decay, gum disease affecting the periodontal ligaments of bone, or tooth injury. Additionally, wisdom teeth removal or tooth extractions for orthodontic reasons may be required, especially in cases of impaction or overcrowding hindering proper tooth positioning.
How to prepare for a tooth extraction?
Before proceeding with the tooth removal procedure, your tooth removal dentist will conduct an X-ray of the tooth to assess the situation thoroughly. Providing comprehensive information about your medications, including vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs, is essential.
Furthermore, disclose any existing medical conditions, such as:
What is the procedure for a tooth extraction?
At our office, tooth extraction, including molar extractions, is often performed in a single visit using local anaesthesia. On the day of the procedure, you’ll come in, and we’ll numb the tooth and the surrounding area. Once numb, we gently loosen the tooth by rocking it back and forth and then remove it. We may need to break larger teeth into pieces before extraction.
Surgical extraction may be required in cases of impacted or incompletely grown teeth. This involves making a small incision in your gums to access the tooth and then extracting it through the incision. The incision is then stitched as necessary.
After extraction, we’ll provide gauze for you to bite down on to form a blood clot at the extraction site. We’ll also thoroughly explain post-extraction care to ensure a speedy, pain-free tooth extraction recovery. We often recommend replacing the extracted tooth to maintain function and overall oral health.
